GunTube Under Attack: The Smith & Wesson Lawsuit Expands

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Dyson vacuum cleaner company receives $2B+ loan to make electric cars

Posted: 9/27/2017 3:16:26 PM EDT

LOL. Yet another company making electric cars.

Rather than lithium ion, Dyson's car is expected to use next-gen solid state battery technology.
Solid state is believed to be safer - and can be charged quicker. Toyota plans to have this tech on sale by 2020, too.

If they're as easy to repair as the vacuum cleaners, they'll be
huge.

My twelve year old Dyson is the only thing in my house I understand.

"600 prototypes of just the steering wheel..."

That car is going to cost some money. Our Animal lasted 8 years, though. Who knows...

Best,

oh, good, shitty plastic cars that break easily.

And I'm sure they'll be getting government subsidies like every other green energy company.

As long as it sucks and doesn't blow should be a dandy.

And they will need to be repaired often.

Loan. But, it's the UK. So, it's their money.

I thought lithium ion was better? Or maybe that's just for cell phones.
I think it will be interesting what they come up with. Considering its going to be for the European market, I'm guessing they might make a Cooper Mini sized car as a prototype because it can't be big and heavy.

Will they work properly?

Posted: 9/27/2017 4:07:13 PM EDT

I can't wait to bet on their bankruptcy too!

Dyson understands style, design, and marketing so I wouldn't completely discount them.

The way I read it, Dyson Corp invested their own money so no loan. Guess they don't have an Obama to loan or grant them billions on green projects. Good for them, they have skin in the game so I bet it will be successful.

The first self-cleaning car ?

The Brits saw the Yanks paying a creepy guy to build electric cars in America. So they funded a creepy guy to build cars in Britain.

"Dyson has been funded by the British government to develop an electric car."

High prices shitty vacuums. Should've gave the money to Shark

Wrong Limey genius

Should have approached Trevor Baylis, OBE

Nuttier than squirrel shit & some brilliant design ideas - he'd have come up with a clockwork car or something equally mad but functional = and he'd not open a fucking Chinese production line to make them either. Fuck Dyson for that move!!
