One of my "new" (since Feb 2020) colleagues was heavily involved with that .......

Wasn't going to be cheap, was it? Quite - As for why the car was canceled, Dyson laments that “though we have tried very hard throughout the development process we simply can no longer see a way to make it commercially viable”, adding that the car would need to sell for £150,000 (approximately $180,000) just to break even.I know that batteries are expensive, but if he started by wanting a big car, with the biggest range etc etc, then that was where he ended up. Whereas you'd think he might have started from the opposite end and tried to make a smaller car with clever technology and then bang them out like vacuum cleaners.... A Model 3 competitor would in my view have had far more chance of success. |

People still aren't read to pay a big price for a small car, the bigger the car the easier it is to hide the cost of the running gear. For the electric models, I don't think there is much in it for the eUp and eGolf. |

I didn't think he ever had a problem charging a lot of money for stuff, his vacuums and washing machines aren't cheap!
One of his biggest problems may be that he's a fairly old man and lacking the Silicon Valley tech startup gloss that the likes of Tesla have had.
