I bet those that bought the Selfridges EV3 are wondering if they will ever see their toys

I still feel they should have spoken to Tesla. Tesla happy to share their technology/motors/batteries. Something could easily be worked for both 3 and 4 wheelers.
PLUS, Tesla considering letting other vehicles use the charging network.
Battery pack in the floor of 4 wheelers, motor on the axle (or both axles!) weatherproof (!) the existing engine bay for luggage, perfect electric classic Or BMW i3, small size, well proven, and they are already using the driveline to develop an EV Mini, BMW have already electrified an original old school mini as a promo, it was at the Oxford factory in early July when we visited

Typical of Morgan to announce them and take orders well before they were developed. Why can they never learn?

Perhaps they have learned the lessons from the premature release of the M3W after all,  time will reveal all or maybe if they delay a little longer they will jump straight into Hydrogen.

Or anti-gravity plasma warp drives They've waited this long what's another couple of months spent in development  .

EvaGT anyone......
Okay I edited this because from the readers point of view it could easily have been read as negative. I don't mean it that way (totally).
Is there a fine line between development mules, prototypes and future models? I look at the EvaGT, AeroEEEEEEElectric and such as development evaluation more than future models. I hoped the EV3 was a future model because it made so much sense. A hub motor with batteries above for weight loading and traction was cool. Bevel box a moment of history. Not a car for 1000 mile runs so range panic not an issue. It also did loko very cool with that front end. Steampunk retro at its best.
Still not going to buy one. I just bring myself to drive a washing machine. 8)

Now there is a man with a very good memory - I saw a mock up of it at the Eden Project a long long time ago..
