One way? That is idiotic. Perhaps it's time to look for another job or move closer to work. A 60 mile commute?

One way?

That is idiotic.

Perhaps it’s time to look for another job or move closer to work.

The actual current story is the X1's successor the SR-71 which is spec'd to do 0-60 in 2.5s. Okay, I think you are about 5 years behind on this story.

However, if I were going to build a car, I'd probably do the same as this company and have the rolling chassis supplied. Aside from the price, my biggest issue is with the range. 100 miles won't get me to work and back. I commute about 60 one way, and can't exactly plug in when I get there.
