Oh, I met the Zume guy last year. His whole thing was to sell the idealized future without worrying about whether it was feasible in the present or even the medium term - if he could just convince people to keep funding it, he’d make it happen. If an engineer said - real example here - you can’t charge an electric delivery truck in 5 minutes without melting the charge plug, he’s say “then we’ll refrigerate the charge plug,” they say you’d need more than refrigeration you’d need to pump liquid nitrogen through it, he’s say “great, we’ll pump liquid nitrogen through it” Sort of like the Fyre Festival of startups, really Someone must have said “pizza delivery isn’t green because of all those boxes” and his response to was have someone invent a new box. And then ship the first attempt without worrying about whether it’s food safe! Well, it sounded great as a slide in a pitch deck. (exit to fix typo)
