Driving range: With a power rating of 37 kWh, the lithium polymer batteries deliver a range of 180 miles (288 km) when tested to the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) standard. (Note: the Tesla Model S delivers about 208 miles.)
Infotainment: a smartphone application manages the car's infotainment system.
Transmission: Four-speed manual transmission.
Assembly: Michigan.
Price: Starts at $135,000 and will vary according to specification and local taxes. (Note: Telsa Model S starts at about $57,000.)
