I don't know about you, but I sure wouldn't want to give Lightning a $10,000 upfront deposit without an iron-clad contract making sure that I could get all of my deposit back if the bike was not delivered on time and met its advertised performance specifications.  And I would want that deposit placed in a bank escrow account and not dropped into Lightning's bottomless pockets.  ::)

Maybe Lightning should've just set up a "GoFundMe" account?

On the upside, it's the best deal in $$$ per kwh in addition to having great specs and CCS.

But yes, I share Richard's concerns.

Apparently not yet.   ::)  Come back in a few more months. Maybe it will be July by then.   ;)

Are we REALLY sure they meant July of 2019? Maybe we just thought that but maybe they meant July of 2020, or July of 2021!
