Talk:Think Global

See Also

I have again removed links to other electric cars, and added a link to the Electric Car article instead. First, there's only two highway-capable, crash-tested electric cars you can actually buy today - the Think City and the Tesla Roadster (the Buddy is only sold in Norway, only barely highway capable, and registered as a quadricycle). Cars like the Reva and Buddy are very different from the Think City. There's also quite a few different electric cars worth mentioning, the list is too long and too difficult to keep up to date (what about Mitsubishi MiEV, Nice, Smart EV, CityEl, etc). Besides, the Electric Car article contains a list of electric vehicles already, there's no need to repeat it here.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Eledille (talk • contribs) 09:47, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

So The TH!NK city is the world’s only crash-tested and highway-certified electric car is not true? And all the other EVs that are being marketed by big companies - it's hard to believe they're not crash-tested and highway-proof. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.162.15.142 (talk) 03:52, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

The TH!NK city is the world’s only crash-tested and highway-certified electric car is not true. The Tesla Roadster is also crash tested and several others will be soon or have already been. This should reread something like, "As of such and such date, the Think City was one of only 2 electric vehicles crash-tested and highway-certified" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kram-bc (talk • contribs) 19:04, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Just adding the Roadster doesn't cut it. I find it really hard to believe that of all the EVs sold today only two should be crash tested and highway certified (whatever that means). They claimed that in June 2008 when the EV market was much smaller than now.--87.162.34.229 (talk) 09:54, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

New Car Production

It seems most of the news on the new car came out last month, when they started production. Does anyone know if they have started selling in Norway? --64.170.140.158 (talk) 04:35, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

They are taking orders, and you can get a test drive, but no cars have been delivered yet. - Eledille (talk) 21:51, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

There seem to be a few production models running around for publicity road tests (I saw a video of one on a UK EV news blog - looks very nice, great fun, very versatile, would probably cover 95% of my journeys with ease, and I could rent something plush for the other 5%... but dear lord, the price, I could buy my current car six times over!) and the company site says they expect to have made/sold at least a couple of thousand by the end of the year... fraid I can't give any better news than that. 82.46.180.56 (talk) 06:30, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

The price will be lower in the UK. Eledille (talk) 20:31, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

See Also

See Also's were just added to a bunch of NEV. From what i understand the new car will not be a NEV, so it is a bit deceptive. The Article states that the car should be able to go 62MPH, which is well above the specifications for NEV. - StarDolph (talk) 19:27, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Good, it would be a crying shame for this nice looking thing to be added to that class of laughably crippled golf carts. Even the G-Wiz doesn't deserve to be lumped there (even though it has, in the states, and suffered a 50% speed cut for it...) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.46.180.56 (talk) 06:27, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

First production vehicle

The first production vehicle was not completed in February 2007, that must have been a prototype. The correct date is November 28 2007. The first production vehicles will be used for further validation. However, they have been produced on the assembly line and are identical to the cars that will be sold. The English version of the press release states that the first production car "will be driving out of the factory" on this date, while the Norwegian version uses the past tense. Both press releases are dated November 28 2007. Company press release (English language) Company press release (Norwegian language) - Eledille (talk) 21:51, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Emailed information is not acceptable

I removed the following from the article; per WP:V and WP:RS. There is no way to completely vouch for information contained in emails (an exception involves admins and WP:BLP; that's not relevant here). I'm reposting it here in case someone thinks the information is relevant to the article and looks for a source that can in fact be cited. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 19:05, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

UPDATE ON US AVAILABILITY

In an email from Vicki Northrup of TH!NK in Menlo Park, CA she gives a bit of detail about US availability and pricing...

"Thank you for your interest in TH!NK North America and the new all-electric city vehicle! TH!NK Global, based in Norway, is currently in production with the 5th generation city vehicle. The city will be available in select markets throughout Europe later in 2008. Plans are underway to finalize the development of a US version for sale sometime later in 2009 to fleet customers and consumers throughout the US that will meet or exceed all Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

The price for the US TH!NK city vehicle has not been set but we anticipate it to cost the same or less than a current hybrid vehicle on sale today. At this time TH!NK North America is exploring many avenues in which to distribute the TH!NK city vehicle in the US and once it has been determined how best to market and sell the vehicles, a press announcement will be distributed.

TH!NK Global is also in development for the new 5-seat all-electric TH!NK Ox and plans are underway to sell and distribute this stunning vehicle in select European markets in 2010-2011. The roll-out into the US will follow after Europe and pricing will be set once we gear up for production.

Currently there isn’t a waiting list for the vehicles either in Norway or the US. We anticipate having sufficient quantity available throughout the US once the vehicles begin arriving state-side."

TH!NK Neighbor

they also make a car called the neighbor, they are everywhere in Key West. Ketchup Krew ^{Heinz 57!} 21:29, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Contradiction

This price is valid only in Norway, prices will be substantially lower elsewhere as the Norwegian registration fee amounts to between 30 and 50 percent of the price of a new car. The registration fee does not apply to electric cars. Say again? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.162.60.159 (talk) 00:54, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Merge Ford TH!NK here

I was thinking of how to rename the Ford TH!NK page (with MOS:TMRULES in mind) and came to realize that there was really no separate "Ford Think" company; that it was merely part of the history of Think Global. So why not just have it all on one page? I think (hah) it would be better to have the 2000-2002 lineup and 2008- lineup on the same page. --Vossanova ^o< 21:46, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

I back this proposal. Most of the Ford TH!NK page seems to be redundant anyway given the more in-depth Think Global article. -- Pineapple Fez 06:17, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
