From luxist.com, Mission is having to delay the release of the Mission One until 2011…

“[Mission Motors'] target originally to deliver the Mission One was to deliver it by the end of this year [2010]. But when we first set out on that endeavor, we never saw 2009 coming.

- interim-CEO Jit Bhattacharya
