I feel this companies real opportunity with a 2017 launch date would be a mass produced, under 40k EV. That will be right around the time Tesla might release the model 3. This company clearly has some massive funding and talent behind them, sounds like they can afford to start on the mass produced midrange EV right from the get go and be really successful. The market is begging for a 40k EV that is not the Chevy volt... We want a 40k tesla (or FF).

Unlikely, the perils of trying to make a vehicle for the cheapest price possible can easily kill your company.

Tesla started as a niche electric sports car company 4 years before the Model S.
