Have any of you heard of Achates Motors ? I hate to say it but what I've read kind of puts Coates to shame. They claim superior fuel consumption and emission standards, have a bevy of qualified personnel on board, have received government funding, and have numerous big name investors.
Alternatively, we seem to have a mad scientist control freak one man show who hasn't kept his PR promises and lately has kept his investors in the dark.
Hate to sound negative but that other company seems to be set up like a real company works. Take a look and see what you think.
