We're printing 50,000 brochures for the Los Angeles Auto Show where Tango(s) will be on display from November 18 through 28th. I'm taking the orange Tango to Miami next week by trailer from Spokane for the screenings of "What is the Electric Car." I will then transport it to the LA Show.

If you're on the fence about purchasing a Tango, please be sure to read the last page, which sheds light on many possible considerations.

The Tango just listed under re-sales has only 289 miles and is available immediately. It is fully-assembled and registered in California. This is perfect for anyone who does not want to wait to have a custom Tango built, which is between 4 to 6 months wait. It will be delivered with LiFePO4 battery and a freeway range of 120 miles.

YouTube Video of Tango Flying Through Chicane During Automotive X-Prize Finals

Just received this video (click on this link) taken by Michael Woon, of the Tango going through the chicane at Michigan International Speedway during finals. During this run, the Tango achieved both 100 miles and 100 MPG equivalent with approximately 10% state of charge at the end. This, despite rather aggressive driving, but not as tough as the stop and go in the urban and city cycles. And, of course, this time without running the air conditioning.

Tango Climbs Mt. Shasta

Thomas Greither, takes a friend up to the end of the road on Mt. Shasta in his Tango. Both are over 6-ft. tall. This photo is at 9,000-ft of elevation. It the first electric car that we know of that's climbed Mt. Shasta. It did this with ease and the round trip only used 35% of the charge. His Tango is now equipped with 1,000 Headway energy cells, 10 in parallel and 100 in series. This gives him 32 kWhrs, which is about 120 miles of 60 mph relatively level freeway driving.

A year ago, when he only had lead-acid batteries, I followed him around Mt. Shasta and visited some lakes. I was driving the black Tango. It was a most memorable experience, as he drives very fast and the windy roads were a blast. We tried to go to top of Shasta that time, but the road was closed half way up.

Following are some photos from that adventure:
