Just realized there is no need to call anyone. From half a year ago:

"Thomas Heidemann threw himself, and $5 million, into his import venture after selling his construction business in Germany. His goal: Selling 15,000 smarts a year... [clip] ...Some 200 are in a California warehouse..."

We can all do the math from there -- without picking up the phone...

... "ZAP will be delivering a small number of cars initially..." [snip] "ZAP is currently in discussions with a number of potential partners to meet the strong American demand for the Smart Car. Delivery of the Smart Cars represented by the current level of purchase orders is conditional upon ZAP's execution of strategic relationships with major automotive manufacturing partners that will enable it to support the full sales pipeline. To build sufficient capacity to supply the full U.S. demand, the Company has been in discussions with a number of major automotive industry leaders in Europe and Asia that have direct experience in the manufacture and sales of high-efficiency vehicles. Once ZAP finalizes the required strategic partnerships and has received approval for additional models from government agencies, it will determine its specific delivery schedule for Smart Cars in the United States."
