Sorry. I'm old fashioned. Traditionally you would show off a prototype
and then collect deposits. The new thing with EVs seems to be put up a website collect the deposit money and maybe latter show off the prototype... or not. There are lots of EV companies out there that have taken lots of money and yet to deliver a car to a customer. To me this is a scam. I don't know about these AMP folks, but if they expect me to buy a $25k conversion from them and put down $10k they should have a
real website
with pictures of what you're getting. If they can't build a website they can't build a car.
Think of all the vendors here that are offering LSx conversions and superchargers and turbochargers and exhaust systems, etc, etc, etc. for the Solstice. In almost every instance they have shared photos and info with people here long before they took orders. A 10 year old could snap photos with a digital camera and build a page for their website in an afternoon. I know I could. Also notice that the site doesn't even mention any specs on the equipment and components being used. All that's there is performance claims and factory Saturn photos. Lame.
