It's 1.21 Gigawatts, and FlUx capacitor. Please don't mis-quote Doc Brown...

It's cute and all, but if ZAP would make a REAL product like the Zap-X, they wouldn't get drilled in forums like this one where they are actually scrutinized.

To keep from infringing on intellectual rights, Zap had to develop the flex capacitor...
Not to discourage fun flights of fancy in the line of a tongue-in-cheek art project, but ditto on Dave's comment.

It's great to see they have a sense of humor.
Now, where's my Obvio, dude!

For a company struggling to be taken seriously, I have to say this is a great leap in the wrong direction.
So many exciting promises, so little delivered (Not that I'd mind having a Xebra pickup).

I have a friend who recently bought and promptly ditched a new Zap xebra. Wouldn't break 20 MPH going up a hill. Wife complained that kids pointed and taunted her ugly car. What a profoundly sad a vehicle. His experience just about killed any interest I had in it.
