I generally enjoy your video's, but this was a really bad one.

Didn't show any of the interior, didn't show any of it's practicality (does it even have a boot, back seats ?), didn't really show off how the car looks very well, didn't really tell us any of the specs, didn't show how quick/slow it was, didn't show a view out od the windscreen (viewing angles, speed, that sorta thing)

Sad but true, the video gets a thumb down, though the car seemed pretty neat.

@Jesus45U all fair comments. My only excuse being that I had limited time with the car, it's not finished yet and a lot of the specs are changing as they get close to being finished, this was a favour done to me by the wonderful guys at Delta and I promise to do better next time.

@Pukkatronic I promise never to talk to you about EV's, you clearly NEED to drive much further than any EV can manage at the moment. When the 1st thousand mile battery is released I'll talk to you then. To be honest, I don't think the people who are developing EV's are out to force you to drive one and thereby destroy your life and freedom to drive anywhere and everywhere you want. BTW, why watch if limited range EV's annoy you so much?

[fullychargedshow]

@Pukkatronic Well okay, I climb off my high horse and sit corrected. However your original comment wasn't exactly calm and considered, you did sound very annoyed, furious even that someone would have the gall to force you to stop driving incredibly long distances in a car. Surely that isn't the point, surely we should, as a culture, embrace and encourage new technology and ideas. No, they won't suit everyone immediately but they are part of a process.

very interesting and informative,thank you

@Jigsjigz i have many sketches just no clay or carving tools with a wind tunnel to check the aero dynamics of it. i have though of vents that direct air onto breaks and cause downforce etc. im not just some kid that thinks oh i can do this... i just said i thought the design was ulgy and far to simple looking.

[Jianju69]

@Jigsjigz Good then, let's see the sketches. You needn't build a car to produce a video. I haven't put any words in your mouth. Merely pointing out that aesthetics are oft impinged upon by details such as aerodynamics & functionality. These engineers have done an incredible job of building an efficient, sporty, & I would say eye-catching car.

I could make a cool drawing too, but to claim superior design skill ignores reams & reams of calculations that went into making the car look as it does.

[Jigsjigz]

@Jianju69 well i can draw you loads. i didnt say i could make 1... give me a few million or billion like other developers have and i could deffo make 1 look nicer i think. dont put words in my mouth bro, i just spoke my mind on the look of it, to me it looks very very simple bit of a lotus on the font and something ulgy on the back...

[Jianju69]

@Jigsjigz Do it! Post videos when you're done.Oh, and don't forget to make it a working prototype with amazing specs.

[Jianju69]

@Jigsjigz Do it! Post videos when you're done.

[Jigsjigz]

i think i could have made it look a lil prettier

[Jigsjigz]

@fullychargedshow i guess he though it was a electric car that ran on hopes and dreams

[Mickoes]

I am very curious about the crash tests of this car. I like the look of the car but I have doubt about its security.

Living in Canada, I don't know if Delta is an indy brand or a mainstream branch attempting to create the ultimate electric car. You should do a full spec description of the final product when these cars are not finished, and say why this is a reliable car if it's coming from an indy brand. (just a suggestion)

Keep up the good show, like it from Canada! :)

@Pukkatronic Why don't you take a train to Germany if you are too scared to fly.

Even when EV's can have 1k mile range. (Lithium Sulphur cells) They will rarely be built for this distance. Why carry excess weight?

p.s. I think you are a bigot. Horses for courses :))
