Well if you think a big empty shed is a finished factory?
I've suspected for a while that Dyson has Musk envy, this just sounds like a one-upmanship thing on the tent to me

isn't as good as ..
Anybody else think a Dyson car is going to be a glorified mobility scooter rather than a car we'd recognise as a car?

It'll be expensive, flimsy, pricey to repair and perform barely half as well as the marketing department will claim.
Still, if you can convince people to pay £500 for a fan heater...
Don't knock it, in many respects he'd just be following the Tesla rule book.Still, if you can convince people to pay £500 for a fan heater...
(And before the Tesla fanboys wade in, expensive - prices start at double that of any other EV and no, you can't buy an M3 yet over here, flimsy - well the build quality isn't great, expensive to repair- accident damage for a new front bumper costing £10k and add in a hire car for 3 months while you wait for parts, and marketing department - lets talk FSD,,, - its a tongue in cheek joke but like the best jokes, there's an element of truth in them)

Perhaps someone can tell me approximately how many cars Dyson will need to build before any environmental benefits are actually seen?
The health benefits for each ICE taken off the road are pretty obvious, especially in cities. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/oct/1...

So if Dyson sold one car that would be a benefit?
In the city it was driven in, yes.But in the grander scheme Dyson will have to recover all the energy used to build the factory and cars, if he follows Tesla and tries to build a carbon neutral factory (ie solar panels, wind turbines and storage power it) it won't take very long in comparison to a standard car factory.
