The ACP eBox is a Technology Showcase Crammed Inside a Cheap Toyota

they were called Toyota Rukus and Toyota Rumion elsewhere

Where would you have the wheel? Straight in front of you?

The picture of the AC Propulsion tzero on Wikipedia makes it look like it's a picture form the animation movie Cars.

Man I loved that seat height

Hey! We still have our 2006 XB and it runs beautifully. It's fast off the line. It's comfortable. I can throw 2x4s in it with the doors closed. I can carry 4x8 sheet materials on it's roof rack, thanks to it's boxiness. And it's still incredibly reliable and has low cost maintenance.

Boo! I love my Nissan leaf!

That gear shifter is a repurposed motorcycle turn signal switch 😂

Electric hamsters

Yeah I think Scion's strategy of designing cars for young people is very obviously bad. What young people are buying new????

Honestly that cruise control is way more viable in an electric car. In a gas vehicle it would be controlling the throttle which is affected deeply by load and not safe.
If that just requesting an rpm from the speed controller, then it's probably reasonably linked to final speed. Idk about self canceling if you tap brakes

My one else thought of Technology Connections when the break lights were mentioned?

I love the adhd edits. They’re great

"Inspired the roadster"? Tesla licensed a lot of AC Propulsion's designs to build he roadster. This was all pre-Elon days that history likes to forget about.

I like that car..to bad is not available here

I thought the guy on this channel was Tom Hanks?
Anyway, cool piece of history there Tom. Shitty car, cool video.

wow this thing is amazing, as a Toyota bB owner, and enjoyer and a technical user I love it

Also from 2008, check out the AFS Trinity Saturn Vue, front v-6 with electric motor drive in back and ultra-capacitors for batteries. I rode in it and it was quick. Ultra-caps made cool sound during regen.
