The most eye-stealing highlight is the Flash Charging technology, which works in conjunction with the latest Blade Battery 2.0.

– Charging from 10% to 70% takes only 5 minutes. 
– To charge to 97%, it only takes 9 minutes. 
– Even in temperatures as low as -30°C, it can still be fast-charged in 12 minutes.

    Take a vacation to Mexico, buy one there, and drive it back. Perfectly legal and you will still come out ahead and get a vacation thrown in

      if the car has passed US testing, and you pay the tariffs. You cannot just import a new car.

        It’s not a new car if you’re driving it over the border. Then it’s a used car. Volvo does something similar by offsetting someone visiting Sweden and driving the car round a bit before flying back and having their car delivered.

        The bigger issue is, you need to have the right to buy a car in Mexico (legally a resident, usually), and have the ability to wire transfer in full (you’re not getting a loan). Then you pay a 2.5% duty when you bring it in.

        Edit: Canada is probably the better place to try this gray importing scheme as their cars actually meet required US standards.
