It was ~2005-ish, I was just out of highschool, I saw a short documentary talking about a (different) electric car company working on revolutionary electric vehicles that had their working components in the form of a "skateboard" with changable chassis on top. It's been decades now, I don't know what happened to them.
It was 2017, Canoo was founded, I actually bought some stock in them. A "little bird on my shoulder" told me to get out of that mess. Glad I did.
Moral of the story for car startups with pipe dreams. Release SOMETHING as quickly as possible, get money flowing as quickly as possible. Even if it's not a car, JESUS CHRIST make electric scooters FIRST and then move up slowly towards gold carts, then motorcycles, then eventually Electric Cars. Whatever you do, DO NOT spend decades without releasing a single product.
