On the EV album page, this struck me:

Start: 53 Miles (85 Kilometers)
Current: 208 Miles (334 Kilometers)
Total: 155 Miles (249 Kilometers)

As of 2/24/2009

Doesn't 53 miles seem like a lot? Are the cars assembled at Lotus with a battery, tested on the track and the battery removed for shipping? If not, that means 53 miles of Menlo Park street driving?!

I also liked this,

Conversion Time: 2 and 1/2 years on the waiting list from deposit to delivery.
Conversion Cost: 100K when purchased. They are a little more now with all the options that came included with signature 100 cars.

Congrats to Barry!
