No. But I have started seeing ads on tv for it. Also, just today I saw my first tv ad for electric 'filling' stations.
 
I'll consider a regular hybrid (I may be in the market this coming year), but I'm not real keen on spending $30,000 for a $20,000 car. We'll see what the economics looks like in a couple of years.

Friends with a couple of firms in the city (DC) are leasing a couple dozen of them.
 
I'm to poor to buy one but I've been seeing them just about every day for the past two months.
 
I'm not at all impressed with the hybrids currently on the market. You see, back in high school and college we had a VW Rabbit Diesal that got 48 mpg, could carry five adults (four comfortably), and had a decent trunk space.

Then there's the http://www.aptera.com/", a true 100+ mpg vehicle.
