Bloomberg:
It’s all-electric like a Tesla. It’s priced like a Ford Fiesta. It’s one of the oddest-looking vehicles you’ve ever seen — and it may just redefine the commuter car.
Meet the Solo — a one-seater vehicle made by Electra Meccanica Vehicles Corp. that costs $15,500. By December, 5,000 will be zipping around the streets of Los Angeles, with an additional 70,000 to be delivered over the next two years across the West Coast. Electra Meccanica may have a market value of just $140 million, yet it has $2.4 billion in pre-orders. The stock more than tripled in New York Wednesday.
Ignoring the hyperbolic “Canada’s answer…” part of the headline, watch the video and tell me – are you in the target audience for this little car and would you buy it? I certainly wouldn’t but the two-seater roadster looks kinda cool.
