xen Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 It is a bit early to actually declare the Tesler a flop yet . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace of Pop Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Ive enjoyed the Rotary road NSU and Mazda very much,but the public didnt care for them .How the hell can you use a Tesler in say Alaska or Norway in the Winter months,You need a bucket of Kilowatts to warm it up.Seems these Battery Rides are restricted to warm climes. Just my thoughts,lets here more verdicts . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my thoughts,lets here more verdicts . . HVAC uses far less electric power than driving does - so not that big of a challenge.

Saab went bankrupt in 2011, don't know if another car bearing the Saab name has been produced since. Edited December 2, 2015 by giddyup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made a small number of cars in 2013 whilst gearing up to become a producer of electric vehicles under Chinese ownership, but that initiative seems to have stalled.

Ace, Flops can be difficult to define or agree on. If the company has gone bankrupt or died from low sales, i suppose it's a flop.
