What I take away is that it would take 10x the money they have to reach production.

Grant-53 -- Agreed. But then there's Edison and Aptera.
Things are only as complex as a company wants to make it, they could be selling them a couple years back if they had the chinese make it for them or if they sold "kits"

Aptera was much of the same, there was not the will to just get the damn thing selling low volume and ramp up but I have a feeling they know that price and QTY targets will fall very short using low volume approach.

heck, I know a few here that could build an elio in their back yard much faster.

But ah well, nice drama
