And discontinue the product due to the batteries blowing up and catching on fire. I would think that Detroit would be all over ANYTHING to sell cars. Including making cars with toxic non-recycleable ni-cad batteries like they are now. Remember electricity comes from the wall (not from bad stuff) Kataku2k3 Since 14 Aug 2005 3754 Posts PDX-LA Videographer Mon Oct 15, 07 8:01 am     Fuck, I'm gonna build an electric car on LiPo packs!
