If they had gone with MEB, what would they be bringing to the table? Dyson's bread & butter is electric motor design and you're suggesting they outsource that and instead build a shell around someone else's platform? Arguably that's their weakness.
Tesla started out with retrofitting their electric drive train into a Lotus Elise, that approach would have allowed Dyson to do what it does best.

- cptskippy 6y agoSo what would be the point?
- clouddrover 6y agoThe point would be to get their EV business started at the lowest cost. MEB is a platform, not a car. There's plenty to do beyond the platform. Ford will be making an MEB car. Here are some of Volkswagen's planned MEB cars so far: - VW ID.3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPjvgXWA78E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPjvgXWA78E - VW ID.4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dh00utug10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dh00utug10 - VW Space Vizzion: https://jalopnik.com/the-volkswagen-space-vizzion-brings-the-wagon-into-the-1840032227 https://jalopnik.com/the-volkswagen-space-vizzion-brings-the... - VW Buzz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfKYr9sgxnw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfKYr9sgxnw - SEAT el-Born: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Evr55WN5XWo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Evr55WN5XWo - Skoda Enyaq: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLTBHGAv5aw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLTBHGAv5aw - Audi Q4 e-tron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiwevzHsCbU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiwevzHsCbU MEB is flexible enough to work with many makes and models of car. MEB is exactly the sort of platform a company new to the car business would want to start with.
