How do I get in on this. I want a yacht.
Having said that there is no way in a million years they can build they "car" for what they say they can. The assemblies are just to expensive even at scale.
Having said that if they can pull a Tesla and use investment cash to buy sales numbers then maybe they survive long enough to raise prices and pull something out of a hat.
