Not sure I get it. 2,000 units at $50k doesn't seem like a model "for the masses". This model should start by building a car like the cheap Tata Nano car.

- replicatorblog 18y agoHaha, I want a horn, here, here, and here! It seems like one of the big issues with crowd sourced design is filtering out the garbage. Go to a site like Zazzle and look at the galleries and there is a ton of amateurish design. Car design is an interesting field cause there is such a grass roots enthusiast community that have really spectacular skills. The signal to noise ratio in this gallery is really high.
- replicatorblog 18y agoTotally agree, I'm not sure how the price figures were calculated. It seems like it would take millions of dollars just to go through the testing to make a car street legal. This is one of the nice barriers to entry the major automakers have. I'm guessing this kind of stuff will end up being more for rich enthusiasts, racing and private track cars.
