    I wonder if former Tesla execs had anything to do with the claims or maybe SSC showed them how to really get it done with some automotive witchcraft? Will it also be fully charged in 10 minutes? I say for competitive positioning it should charge in no more then 8 minutes and have a range of 300+...yea that should do the trick.
