If that were the case, Solectria would have sold thousands of Forces (which sold at slightly over that price for part of the production run).

GM has bought a controlling share, but they are still in trouble for several reasons. Should GM cause problems (not likely at this stage), there's still an option -- I'm pretty sure that GM elected to NOT purchase their assembly plant in Poland.
