      Doesn’t inspire much confidence as a buyer when the people who built the product you’re putting your life in the hands of can’t even figure out how to keep track of said product before selling it.

        People put up with a lot of snafus if the product is good.

        I haven’t heard anything about this company’s product though.

        That could be a bad thing, if there’s no hype for a new product.

          They’ve had teething and software problems. The cars are very nice, fast and efficient, but also very expensive and still under developement.

          I want them to succeed but it’s a rich person car for sure.
