[edit] tango

Production of the initial version at a rate of about 100 cars per year is set to begin in late 2005.

Well, have they started? ;-> - Jake 21:16, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Range as Series Hyrbrid or Fuel Cell Vehicle?

The Tango looks good, but the range is a bit low, which might restrict its use to a city-only vehicle. Could future versions be plug-in series hybrids or hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (likely by sacrificing the space for the second passenger) and if so what range would it have with such modifications? Offhand I'm guessing such a vehicle could have a range of an additional few to even several hundred kilometers. 1000 km on a single charge & full tank isn't out of the question.

[edit] Too low to the ground?

The Tango only rides 4 inches off the ground. Though it can be elevated with coil-over shocks, that's still pretty low. One bad pothole might total it. Are there plans to give it more clearance, perhaps with bigger tires? I don't want the Tango to be something it isn't, but I can see myself driving something like this in another dozen years and I'd want something that could go over rough patches without damage and travel round trips between cities without recharging halfway.

[edit] Prices?

Does anyone know if the first versions of the T600 accually sold at 85K? According to Commuter Cars Homepage, the costs are 108,000 For the T600, 39,900 for the T200, and 18,700 for the T100. This would not include taxes and title. Anyone know if this is a price increase since the first cars were sold, or just the updated prices?

I also think it might be wise to have different sections for the different car models, it would be reasonable because they only have three models.

I was looking at news pages on the Tango. Apparently the kits were intended to be sold at 85K, and i know at least one was sold (The one for George). From their webpage, i would guess than the 108K version is NOT a kit... So perhaps it is version two? If so, this artical would do best to have a 'history' and 'current models' section. Can anyone confirm on them selling the kits?
