Tilley's car was SUPPOSED to be "self generating" with an unlimited range. During its trial run for the media, it supposedly fried a wheel bearing which cut the demonstration short.
More than likely, the car was nearing the end of its charge and Tilley (excuse the pun), pulled the plug so as not to be discovered as a fraud.
If Edisons "nickle / iron" battery was so good, why are we not using them today in place of zinc / lead ? -- Dave.

Electric cars powered by batteries are not the future. However, electric cars powered by hydrogen fuel cells are the future.

I had DW (Deutsche Welle) on while looking at this. When I turned back to the TV, there was a piece about electric vehicles in China. ;)
John DeLorean did NOT come BEFORE Preston Tucker. You siad, "Like entreprenuers Preston Tucker and John DeLorean before him..." Sorry, not trying to be rude. But this is being presented as a "documentary" and it is rift with misinformation. But please do not let these small things sway us from the very cool topic the author is trying to portray.

First of all, when refering to the Automatic Transmision as standard, that refers to that feature being standard on the DeLorean Tilley built, since that segment of the video discusses differences between Tilley's DeLorean and other DeLorean models. Secondly while John DeLorean did not come before Preston Tucker, he certainly did come before Carl Tilley, although I will admit the language there is somewhat confusing.
