It is a strange looking vehicle, but there are a lot of things I like about the company’s philosophy and approach.

    You missed the title. They already got crowdfunding. They’re closing crowdfunding because they secured the remainder of the necessary investment from another source. Enough to begin production.

      I’m not saying they don’t have funding. I’m saying that even with the funding secured, I don’t believe them until they actually produce cars that can be in the hands of customers. Forgive me for being skeptical when I see them occasionally pop up with more hype every so often for TWENTY YEARS.

        It’s not “every so often”, nor was it “for twenty years”. It’s twice, and the after first time they shut down entirely for 10 years or so.

            It’s okay to be skeptical without choosing to mislead people about what’s actually happening. I’m skeptical too. They advertised everywhere that they would ship their first car at the end of 2022. And then just…never mentioned it again. And now they’re supposed to launch in 2025.
