Would also suggest there's a risk of gigantic failure if you try and be a bit too creative in this space. Look at BMW - made the i3 and i8 - the latter a genuinely interesting take on a hybrid sports car that attempted to cover all the bases. They both tanked. Now BMW's electric aspirations are..... SUVs.The cynic in me thinks they are a bunch of engineers with no idea on how to design a car so have ended up with a box because its easy. I read somewhere that they are classifying it as a commercial vehicle so that it doesn't need to comply with the safety requirements of normal cars.
This is a fun series about a cheap i8 fixed on the cheapA guy around the corner from me has an i8 - very interesting design, and funny to see it glide by silently some days and quite noisily others.
Fixed for free really after you factor in the advertising and then the youtube revenue as wellThis is a fun series about a cheap i8 fixed on the cheap
They do like trends and they are on the Tesla share bandwagon making it a market darling but not all EV owners are business arsehole types.tech-bros/investor types love this shit and Elon and aren't in it for any ethical reason.
The choice of using stainless steel is to remove the need of the paint shop, a very expensive part of the process. The structure is also a true exoskeleton design so that the external bodywork is also part of the structure. Unlike conventional design where the fenders are just hung on the structure and just make it look pretty and just add weight. The need for huge stamping dies is also removed which is another massive cost.The cybertruck is very angular and ugly but limited by the difficulty of folding stainless steel .
I'd not seen the Rivian before, looks damn cool.
Hahahahaha!!!!!!Thats the initial plan. Use that market to build economies of scale and develop the technology, and flows into making cheap and everyday EVs.
Telephones started as an aspirational purchase....
