No, it's not bad. If it's a real figure and not from a simulation that is.
I would think if it were a real-life figure, they'd be shouting it from rooftops.
Just MHO from reading between the lines everytime they've given vague answers.

Honestly, I could care less if it only gets 50 combined at this point.
The real issues are proving the engineering as being 100% sound...
And the empty spot on my property where it should be sitting.

No-one is going to venture major capitol in a project whose leaders answer direct questions in that manner...
Nor have they proven their mission statements (or any stats for that matter)...
With real-world (not simulated) results in eight years.

Does anyone know what that little orange reflector? is doing behind the exhaust ? Seen on slide 4 /17.

Just a reflection, no actual reflector behind the exhaust:

That brings up a great point and question.
Now that they have an "80% production" vehicle that's shown cruising at moderate highways speeds...
Isn't it time for some simple real-life performance (mpg, mph, 0-60, HP, etc) testing?

Or are we going to hear more excuses for not even having proof of concept after 8 years?

Come on. Really!
