I read somewhere (haven't taken the time to find it again) that rather than license Alan Cocconi's design, Gage and Eberhard reverse-engineered it for the Tesla roadster. Considering the ethics of this move will be left as an exercise for the reader. The T-Zero was a remarkable EV for its time. It was based on the Piontech Sportech kit car, and was a little more than half the weight of the Lotus Elise based Tesla roadster. The T-Zero's curb weight was just 895kg (1970lb), range 480km (300mi), efficiency 9.9kWh/100km (160Wh/mi). It could have been - IMO, SHOULD have been - turned into a production car with as few changes as possible. But for whatever reasons, that's now how it all turned out.
