Yankee Ingenuity.

On a British chassis. It's based on the ultra-light Lotus Elise aluminum chassis. Keep the weight down, your batteries last a lot longer.

Lotus Elite, I think you mean. A hunded years ago when Lotus won the Indie 500, I worked for them in Chicago and actually owned an Elan. Wonderful zippy little car with enough room in back for two pre=schoolers. I’d be arrested for child abuse today for allowing them the enormous pleasure of riding back there with the top down—no seat belts, of course. I never met Jimmie Clark, but Colin Chapman was a great friend. He paid me the enormous compliment of allowing me to drive when we went places, saying I was the best woman driver he knew. Move over, Danica. LOL. Back then, the boys actually drove me around theIndie track==extremely against the rules. No girls allowed, you know.

Anyway, I would love to test drive a Tesla. I’d love even more being 24 again.
