Starting a Car Company

where you going to get the 250 million for R&D?

Self R&D testing my friend. Not expecting to do big tech jumps just yet.

Car manufacturing as an industry has one of the highest fixed costs to entry between regulations you have to comply with and, you know, actually obtaining the materials to make the car, incredibly strong competition from manufacturers, and without massive investment is really difficult to sell a product.

I mean look at Tesla. Tons of talented engineers, gov subsidies, and a ton of investment for cheap because of Elon Musk hype and the tech bubble, yet it STILL can't turn a profit. By the way the only reason Elon Musk could even make that company is because he was already really rich from Paypal.

Think of it this way, what new car manufacturer in the last 10 years other than Tesla have you seen rise up???? Exactly.

That being said, I mean if you have a good idea for a car maybe you could build it, show it off at a track and then offer to sell the design to a manufacturer when you get their attention?. Something like that sounds a lot more viable than making your own car company.

It would make more sense to do something like RUF to subies and Evo's...

Then form there you can build your own custom car.

Firstly.
>instead of just different years of an STI
You know they had versions for the STi, right?

Secondly:
Oh man, you mouth breathing MechE's make other engineers look bad. Have some self control.

Well to be fair Tesla is making a profit now.

But yeah, we're not going to outright start a full on car company. The plan is to make something and basically be something like RUF. And when its viable become a full blown company. (hopefully)

Ah RUF is the perfect example of this idea in reality. Thank you for bringing them to mind.

Yes I know there have been plenty of versions, though the main line names themselves just by the year alone, unlike Evos who have a linear model system.

As for Mecheneers do you have any examples of shitty ones making other engis look bad? Fairly sure aeronautical and astronomical engineers dont give engis a bad name. Though I love them all so I suppose I'm bias and blind in that regard.

Correction to Tesla statement I made, they have made a profit a couple of times. But yes it isnt very steady as of now. Apologies.

If you knew anything about building a car you wouldn't be posting here pitching ideas to absolute retards.
