There are real working models, so they are not vaporware. They are instantiated-but-not-yet-coming-off-an-assembly-line-ware.

Well okay, I'm not sure whether having a working prototype actually makes it officially not-vaporware, but until there's something I can actually buy I remain skeptical about the range and price.

Range has been verified, I think. If it hasn't already, the range of the hybrid version will be verified by automotive X-Prize officials.
