Forgot to mention this again, but here goes. Tesla did not get started with their own ideas. They got the TZero from AC Propulsion as a loaner to get potential investors and they nailed one called Elon Musk, but now Mr. Musk took over and the founders (Not sure if only one is not with the company) are not there anymore. Now Tesla claims to have their own technology, but it's still the same old AC Propulsion technology, but they claim to have a version of the drive train that puts out more power.
I should loan a Prius load it with about 500lbs. of extra battery and show it to potential investors to see what would happen
. Tell them I have 500lbs. less then the Tesla and get an actual 200mpg to see if they fall for it.
