"The GXE is based on a 2006 Z06 Corvette," Genovation notes. "The car will have a range of 150 miles during normal driving operation and will have a near 50/50 weight distribution while being optimized for a low center of gravity."
"We are using state of the art inverters, batteries and electric motors that will produce in excess of 700-hp and 600 lb-ft of torque," said Genovation CEO Andrew Saul. "We expect the car to achieve 0-60 mph in around three seconds and have a top speed of over 200 mph. And, most of the parts are designed and built in America."
I certainly wouldn't call this a "Tesla fighter," and imagine it won't really compete with any Tesla models on cost and the built-in tech package (if it ever gets to market), but it'll be awesome to see another street-legal electric car out there with such a high level of performance. And I imagine it will excite many a Corvette fan.
Will Corvette fans bite, or are the roar of the engine and tang of petrol essential to the experience?

I love "tinkering" my car. But sometimes I just wish it would not fight back so hard. Dam I can't find the reason the VR sensor in the new AC compressor is not working. And it's dam hot down south right now. Stupid AUDI!

Live near the ocean by chance? I would guess a bad ground or a corroded connection further down the line, if it's getting power. If it's not getting power, check for a fusible link or corrosion along the power feed. (I assume you checked fuses and did a general inspection of the system installing it, so the problem is likely further down the line from the compressor. I am also assuming a correct installation.) Another possibility is a failed sensor elsewhere that is not sending the signal it should. All guesses as I know nothing of it except that it's an Audi.
