I hear you! The Tango was a brilliant but doomed EV. Maybe if you're really wealthy you could have Rick custom-build you one. I may be wrong, but I have a vague recollection that one or two rich television stars commissioned Tangos from him for their collections. Parenthetically: IIRC, at one time, you could have ordered a Sunrise from Solectria on the same basis. I think the cost was somewhere north of $100k, which when you think about it isn't that much for a hand-built car. The closest production EV to the Tango was the Corbin Sparrow. Used ones pop up now and again. But from what I could tell, the Tango was/is vastly superior to the Sparrow. More stable, for one thing. And the Sparrow was for only one person, not for two sitting tandem. You might be able to stuff a little kid behind the seat of a pizza-butt Sparrow, but it wouldn't be safe to do so.
