Not sure one could go so far as to say they've solved the drive and transmission problems. What are they using now, one speed, two speed transmissions? Are they still swapping upgraded units into the early cars? Does anybody really know what the lifespan of their transmission is at this point? I don't know that they're really that much further ahead of the Dodge Circuit. Production-wise, yes, technology, dunno.
