Tesla, Loremo, ZAP & Fisker, oh my!

Tesla calls Town Hall meetings after email fails to calm angry buyers. Apparently the recent retro-active price increases (applying to people who thought they had already locked in their vehicle purchase) have made customers very angry.

Loremo to be on the road in March, in three different versions: EV, low-power, mid-power. They may not use a diesel engine, as was their original design, because of emissions requirements.

Both Tesla and Loremo have signed letters of intent to join the Automotive X Prize, but were not mentioned as participating in the first round of official teams.

Videos and pics of ZAP Alias (pictured), the photos are good (just what I asked for on Wed!) but the video is a disappointing shot of it moving very slowly in a warehouse.

Henrik Fisker talks about the future of the Karma, and a low-cost model, with lots of juicy details. It still looks like the Karma will not be competing in the Automotive X Prize - such a shame.
