Are you saying they are lying, that their explanation is bogus? That they really are trying to make more than four cars a week, but for some reason they aren't able to? If so, I'd like to know your source.

I for one really do hope they can make it in a very competitive (and sometimes corrupt) market where 540+ American automotive corporations have failed in the last 110 years.
The defunct auto manufacturer picture thread...
Lets hope the computer start up non car guys know something (or somebody) that none of the other car guys do about making and selling cars. Perhaps they can apply their business savvy from their other field to this new market.
We certainly do need some new technology and it's great to see somebody trying to make it happen. Perhaps someday it will have a trickle down effect to where it most needed- to be attainable by the common person rather than toy a for rich people and celebrities to "show that they are green". (when they aren't flying in planes or driving their Range Rovers around) Even though at this point and time that probably is the most effective method to bring attention to them and show that electric cars can be a viable option in certain situations. (like how most people use cars 90% of the time- for short commutes).
In the meantime at least there are VW diesels. (and if you live in Europe the 63 MPG diesel Ford Festiva that they won't bring to this country because "they can't make a profit on it")
