The new engine and the manual transmission!
The P5 appears to be the basic $6,800 model.

Multi-Mode Manual is the same thing as "Automatic Manual Transmission". This will be the upgraded transmission. The standard transmission will be the standard transmission. (lol)

All kinds of implications, mostly good.

We'll see what "the coming weeks" brings. I'd hope some news on the builds themselves and maybe some reassurances like "We now have enough funds to build 30 prototypes that we'll test in the next couple of months. Then, we'll set the design and begin assembly prep."

Yeah, that'd be nice.

The odd thing is that MMT is a Toyota term... I think the reporter just erred. At this point, I don't think we can say for sure whether they meant MT or AMT.

getting a P5 out, and exposed, and maybe more than one, like 5 to 10, would create and confirm a lot of believers.

If I don't see multiple prototypes under construction by the end of July, I will have to revise the Expected Delivery date in my signature again. At that point I will decide how many months it needs to move out. That will be only the third time since I went all-in two years ago.

I don't agree with you often, but I'm with ya here.
