Cheers for the link. Hopefully it's enough money, I mean that seriously, Tesla nearly broke Elon. I think it'll probably be a decent thing and you have to respect him for wanting to have a go.

Could it be the modern day Model T ? Dyson are a respected brand, but.... every Dyson I've had has broken fairy quickly, I've sworn never to buy another... Our business is changing soooooo quickly.....

Bet it sucks....

Bluster & bullshit. Allegedly a large team working on errr..what? No car, no prototype, no factory. I suspect this electric vehicle will be closer in concept to Sinclair's C5 rather than Citroen's C5.

Will we buy them on QVC?

[Arfur Dealy 823]

Not mass market the report says....

The Dyson hand dryer in the local auction is cracking but you can't direct the air for when the tap sprays all over your gentleman's area so he's missing a trick there.

Good on him. Always seemed like an old fashioned great British inventor who actually managed to turn a few quid out of being a bit eccentric and going ahead with some oddball ideas.

History repeating itself,let's say Brexit happens,Labour gets in,he will probably be able to tap the government for several hundred million to build them here.Shades of De Lorean ( check them out )except I imagine Sir James Dyson will probably be able to deliver on his promises !

Delorean was definateley a good salesman.He persuaded the then  Labour Gov't to invest £100m in 1973 in his Renault/ Lotus designed knacker sports car You could not make it up !
