> CEO Joost de Vries, previously a high-ranking official at Tesla and Karma [...] has taken the helm from Brit Stephen Wynne, who had run DeLorean as an aftermarket support service since 1995, when he acquired the brand rights following the high-profile demise of the original company. ...to me that sounds like de Vries has taken over the company just so he can use the name, so what the previous owner did with it is not relevant. As to when something will actually roll off the line, that remains to be seen. Personally, I think they should have resurrected the original DeLorean (or something more closely resembling it) as an electric car, rather than this pretty interchangeable sportscar design...
