I think in section two, you mean "The four wheel requirement should be removed..." instead of "three wheel". Also, Ian Wright is a heck of a nice guy and his Ariel Atom electric speedster is F1 car fast, he is not producing any cars other than his personal demonstration vehicles. Ditto ElectricDude's comments. Great article Karen!

They're still trying to get funding. So, it's not factual to say the Wrightspeed is "building cars." Tesla, on the other hand is, albeit at a slow rate, and is delivering to customers.
