    I did an ePRS (US Patent No. c11077983) on the first press release they did about this thing.


    I am not going to do another one.


    The interwebs tubes are getting clogged with all these automotive-related press releases. Especially ones about mythical electric cars that run on the sun, polar bear tears, and unicorn farts.

    I counted 34 instances of the word "charge" (and its variations) in that press release, and only 6 instances of the word "drive" (and its variations). Which one do you think you'll be spending the most time doing in this car?

    "more than 4.5 billion years"


    Lesson number #14 in press release writing: Use large numbers to spur excitement and confidence. Too many such numbers, however, will prompt confusion and fear among the laypeople reading your copy.

    I would like to formally announce that I would fully back any person or company out there capable of developing a car that runs on press releases.


    Thank you.

    I like the looks and the ideas. The first few iterations of any product obtain the best incremental improvement in a continuous process improvement cycle. This is only the beginning.

    So the plant runs off of Megan Fox?


    You know, I heard that exposure to MeganFox increases the likelihood of boners in males between the ages of 6 months to 85 years old. Women who are pregnant or nursing should not be exposed to MeganFox. Tell your doctor if you have a history of boner problems before seeking out MeganFox. Overexposure could result in nausea, dizziness, and in some rare cases, boner explosions.

    @wrx-tyrannosaurusWrx: Mild soreness in the groin is typical when first starting MeganFox. Please contact your physician if you develop rashes or experience hair loss after being on MeganFox.

    @engineerd thinks cannoli is deserving of a star: If your erection lasts more than four hours, consult a professional for the correct use of Megan Fox.

    @wrx-tyrannosaurusWrx: That's alright, I ruined a good boobie joke a while back. I was depressed for days.


    MeganFox has been known to increase the likelihood of pregnancy in women married to men attracted to MeganFox.
