No shit. They’ll probably sell a billion of them to their respective cult followings. :tup:

Rotate your foot clockwise vs counter clockwise on the pedal pad to brake or gas. The faster you rotate the faster you go/stop! BRILLIANT!

Won’t matter because it’s not going to work on the majority of the roads anyway. At least none of the ones you’d actually want to drive on.
There will be an option of having it emulate a normal car, and drive on normal roads, but then it will be only half as fast as a normal car.

Yep, so when the battery dies you can pack up the car, ship it back to VW, have them charge you three times what a battery should cost (or free with the plan), and then ship it back. Regardless of cost all this time you’re stuck taking the bus. The people that just have autozone or sears slap in a new battery are laughing at you, but they’re just not cool enough for the iCar.
