- chrismorgan 3y agoLectric have a model XP™ 1.0 (followed by versions 2.0 and 3.0). Hyperion have a model XP-1. Morgan have a prototype named XP-1. There are many other manufacturers that have used the name XP-1 or XP1 for something, and are probably at least one or two more in the transportation industry. (Hyperion sometimes spell theirs XP1, Morgan do at least on the side of the vehicle, and articles about both mix the spellings freely. Ugh.) It’s a pretty bland name and none of the players are particularly notable or in quite the same space so that trademark concerns are negligible. I feel like it’d be about as reasonable to quibble over the name “Lectric” being taken—“electric” has been around for yonks.
- nexus6 3y agoYep, McLaren and Gordon Murray Automotive also use XP for their prototypes.
- renewiltord 3y agoThe whole XP thing is stolen from Microsoft's Windows XP in the first place.
