They aren't removing anything. There is a bunch of chassis left over after bankruptcy and Bob Lutz is now selling the leftover cars with a GM LS V8 which makes it a much better car!

I see this one all the time in Palo Alto, I think it's someone's DD over that way.

Ah, I thought I remember reading something saying they removed it. Never paid too much attention to them though.

Before the Tesla's gained notice there was the Fiskar EV...a very gorgeous yet extremely heavy car....makes a Camaro look like a featherweight car in comparison. For its weight it still handles fairly good, but not Tesla good.
