Lets see I have around 350 shares of TSLA so it would need to climb too.....um never mind.
of course..rich people will always buy expensive new sports cars.Almost sold out, get your order in soon! Tesla Roadster rival Rimac C_Two is almost sold out despite $2M price tag
Well yeah, a handful of supercars aren't going to do that.and not pretending to save the world.
but the technology will eventually trickle downWell yeah, a handful of supercars aren't going to do that.
Like TRICKle down economics...?but the technology will eventually trickle down.
Can't say I see much technology from ICE hypercars trickling down to the masses...
You mean regen? Because that's just inherent when you add electric motors and energy storage to a drivetrain. Turbochargers have been around since the late 1800's.kinetic recovery technology

Not by my logic...So by your logic the roadster has done nothing for the model 3, and everything we know about the automobile we learned from Henry Ford...
They don't need to be the ones making the vehicles for the trickle-down to occur. I believe they already sell / license their technology to others. At this time it's to Koenigsegg and other high-end manufacturers, but as word gets out and volume picks up, they should be able to drive the cost down into more main-stream manufacturers.Not by my logic...
Of course Tesla learned something from each vehicle they produced. The difference is that Rimac seems to have no plans to create a high or even moderate volume EV so whatever they are learning won't be trickling down to anything. They have actually trickled UP market since the C2 is more expensive than the C1.
On top of that, just like how the original roadster and model S made EV popular to the general masses, Rimac just another level further bolster these “perception” that EV can be better than Ferrari’s, McLarens ICE counterpart.They don't need to be the ones making the vehicles for the trickle-down to occur.

Mate presents this strategy as a humble "needed to do this to keep the lights on" move, almost apologizing for doing it, but I expect he knows that this could be the core that funds the rest of the business in the long term. Now, I don't realistically think you'll ever see a VW eGolf with a "Rimac Inside" sticker on the side, but I also don't think it necessarily needs to go that low to be an effective catalyst for electric and electrified vehicle development, and to be a source of significant on-going income, at least for a while.
That said, I also don't think Rimac wants to be the next Ford, either. There is plenty of opportunity in the marketplace without needing to scale to Huge.
I thought only the Porsche Taycan had a turbo? (turbo S)Advanced engine mapping, kinetic recovery technology, traction/stability control, turbo technology....
It may not be as obvious as things like abs and electronic ignition from days past, but high end production vehicles have always been a showcase for the latest and greatest.
