Thanks for the V-Vehicle update. I like the idea that they are referencing Saturn, even if it's a criticism, because the idea is the same, aka build a compact fuel-efficient car in the USA.
Can they license a "kit of parts" from suppliers? Aren't the parts the intellectual property of the auto companies that contracted with the suppliers to make the parts?!?!?!
I would think they are designing new parts with efficient production processes in mind.
