Sounds like a big part of their plan is missing.

Step 1: Build impractical expensive electric sports car that only a few people will buy.

Step 3: Build practical and cheap electric cars that lots of people will buy. Profit.

What was step 2 again? Reminds me of the under pants gnomes in south park.

But, :tup: to them for trying it. Lets hope if it fails because they just can’t turn a profit they don’t get bashed for being run by the oil companies. :roll:
