2014 Zero S + SR first drive on AutoblogGreen
« on: October 01, 2014, 05:18:55 AM »

AutoblogGreen has published a first drive of the 2014 Zero S and SR. This comes on the same day as the 2015 lineup is announced, but the findings could easily be the same on the 2015 since the emphasis is on the drivetrain and performance.

My favorite line in that story is: "After going through a recall for potential motor failure earlier this year, the company wants to make doubly sure its machines can handle way more than any sane person can dish out."

That says a lot about the company. The acknowledged their failure, figured out how to prevent anything like that from happening in the future, and invested a few bucks in doing so. Bravo, Zero!

If only Microsoft, GM or AOL could do the same, perhaps the landscape would look different today.
