To be fair: 1. Rimac quote was: “We’ve already **delivered** more than 50 cars out of a total of 150” . Delivered and sold isn't the same. 2. Nevera isn't realy chasing Lamborghini Urus/Ferrari FF supercar numbers. Its market competitor is more Pagani Zonda hypercar. There ARE Ferraris and Lamborghinis priced more than Nevera at that level of performance. 3. At end of curve there is no such thing as price/demand curve. Price isn't large factor here as cars at that level aren't really subject to deprecation etc., nor are they bought by people constrained by money.
Well the truth might be somewhere between those two. Most people buy supercars to get noticed....V16 does way better job of that then electric motors. However, spending 2.4 million for Nevera is insane no matter how you look at it. I would say both sides are half-correct...

Rich people buy these supercars mostly for ego. They can go 300 km per hour, but you cannot drive them that fast on regular highways most days because of traffic congestion. Most of the time they are driven between 5 km - 50 km per hour when you are stuck on traffic .
Both of these comments are trash😂 first off, financially wealthy individuals buy cars like this for the simple fact that they appreciate over the course of 2 decades or so. When there is only 150 in the world, well I think a monkey could figure that one out. Also to say a car like this has a washing machine engine is crazy😂 it produces 1914hp and goes over 250mph in record breaking time. Sure there will be better and is a couple of cars that are “better”, but this is literally the beginning of something phenomenal.
@@FlyWithTyy An investment? Most of the people who have made money overnight from rags to riches the first thing they buy is a super car to boost their ego. And when they loose their fortunes for overspending they sell these super cars for peanuts.

Sam's mentality is being called "prosjački mentalitet" in Croatia - you want the best...but then you realize that you aren't really rich...and therefore get a poor man's illusion to be rich instead.
Yes, and that line "pleb is 97% of what Rimac is"- I mean...how wrong can you get? This video is nothing but pathetic attempt to shame someone who is clearly much smarter then he is.
The Hamilton Collection just took delivery of 69 out of 150. For a FACT I know there is 24 shells on the line at the moment( 13/05/2024) in the factory( I am from Zagreb and Rimac is displaying them in the factory, you can see them from the street).

Its not weird, its just the reality, Alfa had the same problem with the 33 stradale and Bugatti has no problem selling its ICE cars for more than 2 million.
@@B0obJunior Bugatti's last bankruptcy was in 1995, and no Bugatti didn't go bankrupt it was introduced in a joint venture between Volkswagen and Rimac, and for the record all Bugatti's are sold before they are produced so Bugatti sells all its cars without any problems, even if it still doesn't sell them cheaply enough. It's unbelievable that you're talking nonsense when all the information can be found on google.
in just 48 hour the $3.5M Gordon Murray T50 LOUD V12 ( ICE ) was sold out ( 100 of them were sold in 48 hour for $3.5M ) while rimca ev which is much cheaper only managed to sell 50
I don't buy "selling in a year 50 of the planned 150 cars for the lifetine of the Nevera" as as failure: the Chiron had 500 units planed and were produced sold in 7 years (from 2016 to 2023), which is around 70 cars a year (most of them small series of 1 to 10 units made almost ad hoc to drive sales). Selling 50 units in a year given Rimac has much less a name is a quitre good number. Mate is now also the CEO of Bugatti, being the woner of half of the company. The next Bugatti was also comfirmed: it will be an hybrid, as the latest Koeningsegg (in which some parts are from Rimac). The only delusional dude in the EV industry is Musk.
Correction, the Nevera has only been out for 2 years, or since mid 2022. Edit: also, the Plaid has nowhere near 97% of the performance of the Nevera, unless you think that 0-60mph times are the only thing that matters. The Nevera handles miles better than the Plaid around corners, has far more high-end acceleration, and has no overheating issues unlike the Plaid and most other performance EVs. Most of those rich people who’ve bought a Nevera have driven a plaid too, and they’ll tell you that the experience is very different between the two cars.
Pleb: 2,4 sec 0-60 Nevera: 1,8 sec 0-60 Nevera can do that till 5% of its battery, Pleb can do it 3 times( if it is lucky) then battery is saying NOPE. I have no idea where 97% is coming from. well. I do- his ass.
Gordon Murray T50 LOUD V12 ( ICE ) managed to sell 100 of them in just 48 hour for $3.5M ( while rimca EV which is much cheaper ($2m) only managed to sell 50 ) .
I agree. The T50 is cheap at $5m usd as if it increases in price like the Mclaren F1 also designed by GM it will be worth $20m in a decede or 2. The Rimac? Who can say but my guess is less then $1m usd, a 50% loss. The T50 was designed to be the last ultimate NA-ICE. GM products can fetch these prices because he knows what car fanatics most desire and his company designs and executes it to perfection. GM himself has said that the future is EV.
Stop and think about what you are saying. This guy has cars that he cannot sell. Surely he is asking people why they don't want to buy them. Is he therefore just repeating what they are telling him. I don't understand why you have to get personal with people you don't agree with.
He may be right. You can't charge a lot for a digital watch but you can get any amount for an analog one with a famous brand name even if it doesn't do much or even keep time well. Gas cars may become like that, simply a display of wealth. It says "I can afford the gas and repairs" not just that I have a cool car.
i agree with the rimac owner. Think of why people buy EVs ...low running costs and speed and maybe 1% to save the planet 😂 So,if you have a boat load of money.... why buy an EV? id get a Aventador too if i didnt care that a new clutch is 50,000$
in just 48 hour the $3.5M Gordon Murray T50 ( ICE ) was sold out ( 100 of them were sold in 48 hour for $3.5M ) while rimca ev which is much cheaper $2M only managed to sell 50
Actually he sell more then 150 units... just people make decision after they have to wait so long to cancel the order... and purchase Chinese supercar...
Sam you are deluded if you think rich people are going to pay 2 million for an electric car. Only ice cars command this kind of price tag. Put simply electric cars are soulless, character less, utterly uninspiring utility vehicles that will never rival the character of real cars.
Ice super cars have souls like high end mechanical watches and can be collectibles. EVs, regardless of how fast they are, wreck disposable gadgets. That’s the problem.
I don't often disagree with Sam but this time I can see why Mate is right, don't forget, he did buy Bugatti, not a Bugatti... Bugatti itself, and is about to reveal a V16 for the new model. People spending millions on a car aren't bothered about running costs and are buying more of an "experience" than just a fast car. If I had $2mil to spend on a car I probably would lean toward a Chiron than a Rimac but then have a Model S for the daily.
You're over-complicating the situation. The best way to grasp what's happened is to look at the watch industry and the quartz crisis. The Nevera is akin to Casio releasing an ultra-expensive quartz watch and touting it's unparalleled accuracy and a boutique purchasing experience versus Patek Phillipe offering a manual wind watch with a visible caseback and an artistic underpinning. The Rimac is the best performing car in its class yet people don't care because performance has been democratized thanks to powerful EV technology. People now, as with that's happened in the luxury watch market, seek craftsmanship, pedigree, and tacile feedback which EVs simply cannot offer. The fact that the Rimac is extremely bland looking (borderline ugly) doesn't help its cause. Want proof of this theory? Look no further than the gauge cluster and motor of the Tourbillion and the decision of Koenigsegg to switch the Gemera's instrument cluster from digital to analog. Again, this isn't complicated if you take a step back and think critically.
@Electric Viking. If you say that they've failed, I think like many others you don't fully grasp their business model. They are a supplier for car components. The Nevera as well as the Verne are technological showcases that might turn out to be positive or negative. In any case they are brand ambassadors for what's possible with them as a partner. Other than that, as you can see in the comments bellow that the production runs towards 100/150 cars. Rimac won't publish their strategy whether they limit those numbers, introduce a facelift for the other 50 or anything else. The point is that they've build an entire industry for motors, batteries, infotainment systems, mechanical elements, autonomous drive, even bikes, etc. around this showcase and supplying major OEMs around the world.
Why would someone want to pay $2.2m for a hypercar that does essentially the same thing as a $100k Tesla. Electric cars have no soul and this is big proof of that. Even Koenigsegg removed their powerful 3 cylinder techical marvel and swapped a V8 back because hypercar customers don’t want a car that goes fast if it doesn’t have the emotion that only V8, V10, V12, V16 can give.
Doesn't he own Bugatti now tho? He makes money selling EVs or gas powered hypercars. But if i his more money than Sand id get someone with mechanical parts it's NOT all about speed Viking. That watch analogy is spot on. It's not about the model s plaid. I promise you with absolute certainly no one is cross shopping a model s with the Rimac while price is definitely a Factor he's right. I would 100% get a Bugatti over the rimac and if the rimac is 500000 id get the saffire for half as much but if I'm getting the saffire for 250k id get a Bentley or Lamborghini. But that's just me
Christian Von Köningsegg sayed that the problem with EV's is that motors must be made in big companies. So, the speed of supercars will not be spesial.
When I heard the first sentence: Journalists and Rima'sch The guy said: My view of Mate fell Dude he's telling you: You just need to hear the sound, IF You want a greener country or your air not be poluted - but you want to have 20 thousand dollars EV cars from China and everyone in your neighborhood could drive one... How can someone your age can be so naive. Go look at Chinese people, who bought their EV ( flagship car of this companies), ask them
Beside your assumptions on the Nivera are completely wrong... you can't put a marketing pitch of a chinese car over the Nivera or the discussions of Rimac. Are you paid by the chinese?
1) I would buy a Nevara if I had their typical customer’s net worth. 2) Luxury cars, like Bugatti, sell at premiums despite other less expensive cars being nearly as quick or fast. 3) I want Rimac to succeed because it develops its own technology. Chinese companies don’t. They copy others. Let’s reward the innovators and not the copycats.
I think it’s charging experience. I’ve seen rich guys getting porsche taycans, audi gt. Electric vehicles that came from known vehicle companies. They hated the charging issues for non-teslas. CCS charging in the USA is a joke. 5+ companies, 5+ apps, they show their working because it’s a metric they report to the government, but when you show up, you’ll be lucky if you can charge. Would you buy a gas car if half the gas stations didn’t have gas,but you wouldn’t know until you pulled in and got the nozzle in and had to futz with the app to get the pump started, only to find even if the gas station had gas that you couldn’t get it in your car? It’s why I still have a gas Turbo S.
I recommend renting ev before buying. I rented ID buzz for 8 days in Norway, returned after 1 day. 17 different apps, slow charging, low range, charge is more expensive than gas car to fill, and could not charge paying in cash.
You think these super rich guys are going on road trips with their hypercars? They will charge their Nevera in their expensive garage and take it to a drag strip or a spin around town.
It’s a lot faster than the plaid and any other car , what are you talking about ? It looks incredible . Stop talking stupid shit about great cars just because you haven’t invested in them .
I believe there are two types of rich people. One that buy expensive things just for standing out of the crowd. They don’t care if it is for example a 1st generation iPad covered with diamonds. The message is “look how rich I am”. The other one is formed by the ones who know they are rich and don’t have the need to show it to the world. They don’t need validation. As for me, I don’t aspire to have things that other people can’t afford, I just want to be immensely rich. So Rimac is partially right. A ridiculously expensive car needs to be something that says out loud “Look how rich I am!!”. That is not possible without strident noises from a well known luxury car brand.
Makes sense. People love Porsche gt3. They sell used for 300k usd. Then they have gts and base ones sitting on the lot. Fossil performance cars now are all turbo. Hybrid. Awd. Heavy. Might as well get an EV. Petrolheads want analog experience
Rimac Nevera is not their main business its a showcase what they are capable of Their main business is to provide ev technology battery motors and much more to other car companies like Kia aston martin …
I’ve seen one on the street in Beverly Hills. Has the presence of a Lotus. As in “oh some weird $85k obscure sports car”. In 5 years it’ll be obsolete, not particularly interesting to anyone. Even with such limited production it’s doubtful these will be setting any auction records in years to come. IMO it’s just a seven-figure Tesla roadster built a decade later. (an actual lotus, ironically). If these were built at scale and priced under $400k they’d be selling like McLarens. No disrespect meant to the owners down here in the comments 😆
I think the CEO is correct. 1. Rich people wants ICE. 2. Rich people have no problem with the oil price. 3. Rich people preferred to the famous luxury brands. (Rimac using the Bugatti brand may helps.) The thumbnail said "No, it's just insanely expensive" If Yangwang U9 doesn't fail in sales, I think the thumbnail is correct. I don't think so. Yangwang U9 will also fail.
Here’s the thing. If you’re rich and have options you’ll buy an ice supercar because it’s about emotion. The noise, the shifting, the barking of the exhaust. I’d buy a classic ICE over EV ALWAYS! On the side I’d have a quick EV as a daily driver. Now you have both. I think Musk knows this. That’s why the Roadster is still not there.
This is why the Tesla Plaid was such a success. It wasn't just a slightly better car than the competition, it completely tore up the record books. People were taking them down to drag strips and destroying everybody else. Type "plaid reaction" into TH-cam and it's full of drivers and their passengers giggling like school--children every time the driver puts his or her foot down. It put super-cars into a definitely non-super-car price bracket. The Plaid does 0-60mph in 1.9s and the Rimac Nevera does it in 1.8s. Yes Musk knows putting out the Roadster doing 1.7s is not going to drive sales. This is why he gives the outrageous 1s time. He's in no rush to put it out because he needs to develop something outrageous that will attract attention. This year he did that with the Cybertruck. The "barking of the exhaust" is purely to get attention, it serves no practical purpose, and wealthy people with the compulsion to show off REALLY need that. Phillip.
The barking of the exhaust is not for getting attention. For some, maybe. I personally just love it. An ICE supercar for the thrills. EV for the daily practicality and I’m game.
@@micheldeen9479 For many it is. I live next door to Monaco which is littered with super-cars and you can't drive more than 50km/h there. You have to look deeper into why that sound makes you feel the way you do. If people in the street enjoyed that noise instead of giving you disapproving looks, would you still feel that same thrill? You don't have to answer :-). I'm not saying don't enjoy it. Of course you should!! I don't want to be a killjoy. However I suspect we are both a product of our generation rather than there being something intrinsic about that noise and human beings. Phillip.
Billionaire supercar purchases tend to stick only to known marques that are expected to retain or appreciate in value over decades. EVs are believed to only depreciate.
You've said it, band prestige. The price they set is so delusional. Also, most people that buy super cars want to showoff their wealth with cars that not only look loud but also sound loud. On top of that the car looks so mundane. Why would anyone pick it over an Aston Martin Valkyrie. At least they are probably profitable just by the 50 they've sold. Profit margin must be insanely high, no way the cost of each car would be anywhere near the $2mil asking price.
@@Blento0404otnelB You must know that the Valkyrie comes with a high RPM V12 which is the show piece. Simply search and you'll see how many articles or videos you can find on the V12 and how many you can find on the electric system. Also it has aerodynamics designed by Red Bull F1.
He simply stated the obvious. Nobody is prepared to waste money on too expensive electric cars. It’s so basic. How can you say you lost respect for him?!? People who undestand cars can only stick to what makes sense. And expensive non-sense electric cars are indeed…non-sense.
He says he lost respect because the owner is blaming the market rather than the strategy of the company. He thinks there is a value proposition problem rather than an abandoning of EVs. If Ferrari comes out with an EV that can plug into the Tesla Superchargers from the start then let's see how many they will sell. Lots I suspect. Ferrari spend millions on marketing making their brand "cool" which Rimac has never done. Phillip.
I’ve been saying for awhile now that ICE engines will increasingly be for the wealthy and long haul trucking. The Horsepower wars are pretty much over at this point with $40k EVs faster than $100k + super luxury gas engine cars as well as super exotic cars from just 10 years ago. Now the wealthy pivot is towards “the driving experience” and leaving the horsepower wars largely to increasingly cheap EVs. Pretty soon the bottom of the barrel ICE car will top $100k probably by 2030 while EVs will fall below $20k brand new. The ICe market will be tiny because the cost to build and service gas engines will be getting more and more expensive and limited every year. Already ICE dealers and mechanics shops close or increasingly settle for worse and worse tech talent. Young people do not want to work on ICE cars. If they want to work on cars at all, they want to learn EV tech.
The hign price used to be an incentive regardless of superiority. It was a "status symbol" to pay 10 x more for a product with little more value. I judge that as a public expression of the need for attention, mistaking wealth for self worth.
Nevera Perfected Dream Electric Hyper Sports cars !!! Love the Chinese Electric Super Sports cars, too. Also much more affordable for the Wealthy Rich People to buy and with newer technologies !

Did you expect him to answer "because they are insanely expensive"? Of course he gives whatever answer which puts him and his product in the best light. Better to say it is some flaw in the buyer's thinking and hopefully shame them into re-considering buying his product. Everything an executive says is marketing on some level. They are not in the business of being totally honest about the quality of their product.
You can say everything you said was the problem with Nevera about essentially all EVs. Pricing. They’re all too expensive compared to their ICE counterparts. Performance. All EVs are fast in a straight line. EVs have leveled the playing field and made it just boring as no one is able to stand out, like Bugatti did when they launched the Veyron for instance. EVs have on e and for all destroyed performance as a luxury item and that will never return as shown with the Nevera. 2M dollars isn’t buying you top trumps as cars at a 1/10th of the price essentially are equally fast. Watch Kyle Conneors latest video thrashing a Cayman on Angeles crest. He states the obvious. There are so much missing from the interaction with the car driving an EV that he (of all people) most definitely are going to buy a manual ICE sports car for weekend fun. EVs can’t get you that. Alyssa said it so true. I like noise! I like being engaged and working for the progress.
Products that are so exclusive can have any reason for high or low sales. It could be because it doesn’t go vroom vroom. Motorcycles have a hard transition to electric because of this. Usually there is more to it. I wonder if they will build the other 100 cars and just wait for them to sell?
Sam really like your content and really enjoy your videos. The problem with EVs is they are tomorrow’s E waste. As an electronics engineer when I see teardown videos on Monro live it fills me with dread. looking at battery packs with for a cheap Chinese components which are completely unserviceable is the reason EVS will ultimately fail. I recently paid a visit to the York Railway Museum in the UK which is filled with old steam engines which are over 100 years old but still work. unfortunately, electric cars are not machines but disposable consumer electronics and which Is the main reason they never gonna take off properly
People that have the kind of money to buy these toys need to feel special and unique... The Rimac has the numbers but not the personality... Yes it is a disadvantage at this point, not to have an engine sound to attract that kind of crowd... but they could have also done a better job with the design wow factor inside and out ... Pagani's and Koenigsegg's of this world were able to make it in that market without the brand/race heritage of Ferrari or Porsche but they are very unique and very "artsy" products
File this one in the sad but true section. If Rimac had done a tie-in to be the latest James Bond car in the last movie then they would have boosted sales. If the USP is fastest 0-100km/h then it needs to be more than 0.1s to have any real bragging rights. When Tesla Plaid launched, all the enthusiasts were taking it to drag strips and absolutely destroying the competition. This gave a cool aura to what is an average looking family saloon car. Phillip.
I dont find his comments crazy. If I had $2M to spend I would want a screaming beast. not a fast Tesla. And then his choice of press colour for the car was a disaster, the design is already bland, it needed something bold.
hi viking, fair coments, but also understand his a balkan, mentality is very unique compared to standard world, price true was very edgy, my key thought what causes the non sell out would be design, missed opptunity it should of pushed limits of the supercar world and craeted its identity thew some crazy polarizing design, example cyber truck, as it stands its basicly mutant generic super car design wich in no shape of form creates a brand image to remeber, the generic ever super car approach and 0 brand hertiage is a big miss, the company should of paid more attention to this, but is was soaly focust on performance numbers wich in todays world really are pushing limits to useless numbers
Well that surprises no one ! Performance cars nowadays are all fast so clearly speed alone can't be the only selling point. Unfortunately that's all EV's bring to the table...Silent speed as well. Boring.
Many of these people already have a Tesla, likely a plaid in their car collections and maybe they are waiting for their Tesla Roadsters with fricken rocket thrusters. Can I come out and say it, the Rimac cars don't look that good. They are cool, but they don't look like a Zonda, a SF90 a Chiron or a Aventador. Tesla has already saturated the market for speed. It's also interesting how there's a bunch of cars that all get close to the same performance - EV gives you all the straight line performance you ever dreamed of, right up to the limits of tyre technology.
Obviously if you're looking at an investment like a hyper car you want it to full of emotions that others will want, who wants this one trick pony that is essentially just transport, and if you watch car wow you'll see an rc car is faster over the standing quarter of a mile
I think Rimac as a company have been over priced and I think will soon be in trouble as they have massive debt after expanding quickly with just one model and also purchasing Bugatti. VW group will be able to buy back Bugatti for a fraction of the cost they sold it.
Thats the price that Mate has to pay he dont understand you will be rich selling to the mid class not the rich his car could be a hit in price ranging 150 us dollars and at the time he distroy the ego of the rich but he is so poor to make its own tesla giga factory 😢😂😂😂
Social benchmarks oh geez. This is why a lot of people go into car manufacturing 😂 the cool factor. Lotta political and ALSO fossil fuel propaganda at work I do believe 😏
Posters habe already pointed out, super expensive cars sell to flatter the buyer. There is a big backlash against EVs going on at the moment, rich people are just buying whatever will get them the most attention. If Lewis Hamilton and a few other racing celebs bought one, they'd sell fine.
To be fair:
1. Rimac quote was: “We’ve already **delivered** more than 50 cars out of a total of 150” . Delivered and sold isn't the same.
2. Nevera isn't realy chasing Lamborghini Urus/Ferrari FF supercar numbers. Its market competitor is more Pagani Zonda hypercar. There ARE Ferraris and Lamborghinis priced more than Nevera at that level of performance.

200k/4680 Roadster = GAME OVER BABY! ⚡️🇺🇸
@@larryc1616 yes... game over... Roadster only exist in ''L''-on fanboys imagination.
Reports say he didn't sold more than 5 if even that xd
I don't buy "selling in a year 50 of the planned 150 cars for the lifetine of the Nevera" as as failure: the Chiron had 500 units planed and were produced sold in 7 years (from 2016 to 2023), which is around 70 cars a year (most of them small series of 1 to 10 units made almost ad hoc to drive sales). Selling 50 units in a year given Rimac has much less a name is a quitre good number. Mate is now also the CEO of Bugatti, being the woner of half of the company. The next Bugatti was also comfirmed: it will be an hybrid, as the latest Koeningsegg (in which some parts are from Rimac).
The only delusional dude in the EV industry is Musk.
Correction, the Nevera has only been out for 2 years, or since mid 2022.
Edit: also, the Plaid has nowhere near 97% of the performance of the Nevera, unless you think that 0-60mph times are the only thing that matters. The Nevera handles miles better than the Plaid around corners, has far more high-end acceleration, and has no overheating issues unlike the Plaid and most other performance EVs. Most of those rich people who’ve bought a Nevera have driven a plaid too, and they’ll tell you that the experience is very different between the two cars.
Pleb: 2,4 sec 0-60
Nevera: 1,8 sec 0-60
Nevera can do that till 5% of its battery, Pleb can do it 3 times( if it is lucky) then battery is saying NOPE.
I have no idea where 97% is coming from. well. I do- his ass.
Gordon Murray T50 LOUD V12 ( ICE ) managed to sell 100 of them in just 48 hour for $3.5M ( while rimca EV which is much cheaper ($2m) only managed to sell 50 ) .
It's not a like-for-like comparison. If the T50 wasn't designed by Murray it would be a
I agree. The T50 is cheap at $5m usd as if it increases in price like the Mclaren F1 also designed by GM it will be worth $20m in a decede or 2. The Rimac? Who can say but my guess is less then $1m usd, a 50% loss. The T50 was designed to be the last ultimate NA-ICE. GM products can fetch these prices because he knows what car fanatics most desire and his company designs and executes it to perfection. GM himself has said that the future is EV.
@@pauldamiandumais Did you just call Mclaren a USA company? Lol, you americans do not know what a woman is, so keep it quiet kiddo.
Stop and think about what you are saying. This guy has cars that he cannot sell. Surely he is asking people why they don't want to buy them. Is he therefore just repeating what they are telling him. I don't understand why you have to get personal with people you don't agree with.
Because his a wanka, how petty can someone be to discard what Mate has achieved and find something so petty to criticize him .
I thought you said that you were going to stop posting videos if Tesla fired 14,000 workers little fella, what happened? LOL! 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡
He may be right. You can't charge a lot for a digital watch but you can get any amount for an analog one with a famous brand name even if it doesn't do much or even keep time well. Gas cars may become like that, simply a display of wealth. It says "I can afford the gas and repairs" not just that I have a cool car.
i agree with the rimac owner.
Think of why people buy EVs
...low running costs and speed and maybe 1% to save the planet 😂
So,if you have a boat load of money.... why buy an EV? id get a Aventador too if i didnt care that a new clutch is 50,000$
"Tesla has 97% performance of Nevera" . This dude is type of dude who would buy cybertruck and test new trunk update with his finger.
This man super liar b4 he go live (recording TH-cam ) he should do he’s home working n facts correctly :(:(:(
I’m surprised they even sold that many (50) for that much ($2M).
in just 48 hour the $3.5M Gordon Murray T50 ( ICE ) was sold out ( 100 of them were sold in 48 hour for $3.5M ) while rimca ev which is much cheaper $2M only managed to sell 50
Actually he sell more then 150 units... just people make decision after they have to wait so long to cancel the order... and purchase Chinese supercar...
@@FS-eh4dj Well Gordon Murray is one of few auto-engineers who are known by name...
„Rimats“ - not sounds „Rimatch / Rimutch“.
Guy talking about subject he thinks he has relevant opinion on but doesnt have a clue how to pronounce the thing he is talking about
Sam you are deluded if you think rich people are going to pay 2 million for an electric car. Only ice cars command this kind of price tag. Put simply electric cars are soulless, character less, utterly uninspiring utility vehicles that will never rival the character of real cars.
It's RimaTS not RematCH. And no, it's not insanely expensive. It's an EV and it's a hypercar, it supposed to be expensive just for the latter.
Ice super cars have souls like high end mechanical watches and can be collectibles. EVs, regardless of how fast they are, wreck disposable gadgets. That’s the problem.
I don't often disagree with Sam but this time I can see why Mate is right, don't forget, he did buy Bugatti, not a Bugatti... Bugatti itself, and is about to reveal a V16 for the new model. People spending millions on a car aren't bothered about running costs and are buying more of an "experience" than just a fast car. If I had $2mil to spend on a car I probably would lean toward a Chiron than a Rimac but then have a Model S for the daily.
Pininfarina Batista is sold 150/150 for same money and its basically Rimac Nevera with diferent design. What tells you that?
Who told you that 😂?
An ICE is way more cool than an EV. Noise, smell, light weight,...
Steam > ICE
Leno agrees!
Dishwashers for the masses
ICEs for the elite
Sorry, wash machines (much heavier) is better
You're over-complicating the situation. The best way to grasp what's happened is to look at the watch industry and the quartz crisis. The Nevera is akin to Casio releasing an ultra-expensive quartz watch and touting it's unparalleled accuracy and a boutique purchasing experience versus Patek Phillipe offering a manual wind watch with a visible caseback and an artistic underpinning. The Rimac is the best performing car in its class yet people don't care because performance has been democratized thanks to powerful EV technology. People now, as with that's happened in the luxury watch market, seek craftsmanship, pedigree, and tacile feedback which EVs simply cannot offer. The fact that the Rimac is extremely bland looking (borderline ugly) doesn't help its cause. Want proof of this theory? Look no further than the gauge cluster and motor of the Tourbillion and the decision of Koenigsegg to switch the Gemera's instrument cluster from digital to analog. Again, this isn't complicated if you take a step back and think critically.
@Electric Viking. If you say that they've failed, I think like many others you don't fully grasp their business model. They are a supplier for car components. The Nevera as well as the Verne are technological showcases that might turn out to be positive or negative. In any case they are brand ambassadors for what's possible with them as a partner. Other than that, as you can see in the comments bellow that the production runs towards 100/150 cars. Rimac won't publish their strategy whether they limit those numbers, introduce a facelift for the other 50 or anything else. The point is that they've build an entire industry for motors, batteries, infotainment systems, mechanical elements, autonomous drive, even bikes, etc. around this showcase and supplying major OEMs around the world.
Why would someone want to pay $2.2m for a hypercar that does essentially the same thing as a $100k Tesla.
Electric cars have no soul and this is big proof of that.
Even Koenigsegg removed their powerful 3 cylinder techical marvel and swapped a V8 back because hypercar customers don’t want a car that goes fast if it doesn’t have the emotion that only V8, V10, V12, V16 can give.
First of all, it’s not Rimatch; it’s Rimac. They own Bugatti in a joint partnership with Porsche.
So if someone does not think like you... than you lose respect? Really?
Doesn't he own Bugatti now tho? He makes money selling EVs or gas powered hypercars. But if i his more money than Sand id get someone with mechanical parts it's NOT all about speed Viking. That watch analogy is spot on. It's not about the model s plaid. I promise you with absolute certainly no one is cross shopping a model s with the Rimac while price is definitely a Factor he's right. I would 100% get a Bugatti over the rimac and if the rimac is 500000 id get the saffire for half as much but if I'm getting the saffire for 250k id get a Bentley or Lamborghini. But that's just me
Christian Von Köningsegg sayed that the problem with EV's is that motors must be made in big companies. So, the speed of supercars will not be spesial.
That is why he bought the tech from Rimac.
When I heard the first sentence: Journalists and Rima'sch
The guy said: My view of Mate fell
Dude he's telling you: You just need to hear the sound, IF You want a greener country or your air not be poluted - but you want to have 20 thousand dollars EV cars from China
and everyone in your neighborhood could drive one... How can someone your age can be so naive.
Go look at Chinese people, who bought their EV ( flagship car of this companies), ask them
Beside your assumptions on the Nivera are completely wrong... you can't put a marketing pitch of a chinese car over the Nivera or the discussions of Rimac. Are you paid by the chinese?
The guy mingles with superrich supercar owners. You really think he has no idea what they think or want?
That’s it…I’m canceling my order!😂
1) I would buy a Nevara if I had their typical customer’s net worth.
2) Luxury cars, like Bugatti, sell at premiums despite other less expensive cars being nearly as quick or fast.
3) I want Rimac to succeed because it develops its own technology. Chinese companies don’t. They copy others. Let’s reward the innovators and not the copycats.
I think it’s charging experience. I’ve seen rich guys getting porsche taycans, audi gt. Electric vehicles that came from known vehicle companies. They hated the charging issues for non-teslas. CCS charging in the USA is a joke. 5+ companies, 5+ apps, they show their working because it’s a metric they report to the government, but when you show up, you’ll be lucky if you can charge. Would you buy a gas car if half the gas stations didn’t have gas,but you wouldn’t know until you pulled in and got the nozzle in and had to futz with the app to get the pump started, only to find even if the gas station had gas that you couldn’t get it in your car? It’s why I still have a gas Turbo S.
I recommend renting ev before buying. I rented ID buzz for 8 days in Norway, returned after 1 day. 17 different apps, slow charging, low range, charge is more expensive than gas car to fill, and could not charge paying in cash.
You think these super rich guys are going on road trips with their hypercars? They will charge their Nevera in their expensive garage and take it to a drag strip or a spin around town.
The plaid doesn’t have “97%” of the neveras performance what 😂😂😂 these two cars are worlds apart and it isn’t even close
It’s a lot faster than the plaid and any other car , what are you talking about ? It looks incredible . Stop talking stupid shit about great cars just because you haven’t invested in them .
pronounced: Re MATs not Re Match
His problem is the visual design of hos car. For that kind of money, and it ben EV, that car needed to look amazing. But it doesnt, at all.
I believe there are two types of rich people. One that buy expensive things just for standing out of the crowd. They don’t care if it is for example a 1st generation iPad covered with diamonds. The message is “look how rich I am”. The other one is formed by the ones who know they are rich and don’t have the need to show it to the world. They don’t need validation. As for me, I don’t aspire to have things that other people can’t afford, I just want to be immensely rich. So Rimac is partially right. A ridiculously expensive car needs to be something that says out loud “Look how rich I am!!”. That is not possible without strident noises from a well known luxury car brand.
His challenge is branding.
He also need to take care about Bugatti future, his narration is no suprise to me ;)
"Rimach"... Honestly if you cant pronounce such simple name than lets not talk about given subject.
Makes sense. People love Porsche gt3. They sell used for 300k usd. Then they have gts and base ones sitting on the lot. Fossil performance cars now are all turbo. Hybrid. Awd. Heavy. Might as well get an EV. Petrolheads want analog experience
Rimac Nevera is not their main business its a showcase what they are capable of
Their main business is to provide ev technology battery motors and much more to other car companies like Kia aston martin …
I’ve seen one on the street in Beverly Hills. Has the presence of a Lotus. As in “oh some weird $85k obscure sports car”. In 5 years it’ll be obsolete, not particularly interesting to anyone. Even with such limited production it’s doubtful these will be setting any auction records in years to come. IMO it’s just a seven-figure Tesla roadster built a decade later. (an actual lotus, ironically). If these were built at scale and priced under $400k they’d be selling like McLarens.
No disrespect meant to the owners down here in the comments 😆
I think the CEO is correct. 1. Rich people wants ICE. 2. Rich people have no problem with the oil price. 3. Rich people preferred to the famous luxury brands. (Rimac using the Bugatti brand may helps.)
The thumbnail said "No, it's just insanely expensive"
If Yangwang U9 doesn't fail in sales, I think the thumbnail is correct. I don't think so. Yangwang U9 will also fail.
Here’s the thing. If you’re rich and have options you’ll buy an ice supercar because it’s about emotion. The noise, the shifting, the barking of the exhaust. I’d buy a classic ICE over EV ALWAYS! On the side I’d have a quick EV as a daily driver. Now you have both. I think Musk knows this. That’s why the Roadster is still not there.
This is why the Tesla Plaid was such a success. It wasn't just a slightly better car than the competition, it completely tore up the record books. People were taking them down to drag strips and destroying everybody else. Type "plaid reaction" into TH-cam and it's full of drivers and their passengers giggling like school--children every time the driver puts his or her foot down. It put super-cars into a definitely non-super-car price bracket.
The Plaid does 0-60mph in 1.9s and the Rimac Nevera does it in 1.8s. Yes Musk knows putting out the Roadster doing 1.7s is not going to drive sales. This is why he gives the outrageous 1s time. He's in no rush to put it out because he needs to develop something outrageous that will attract attention. This year he did that with the Cybertruck. The "barking of the exhaust" is purely to get attention, it serves no practical purpose, and wealthy people with the compulsion to show off REALLY need that.
Phillip.
The barking of the exhaust is not for getting attention. For some, maybe. I personally just love it. An ICE supercar for the thrills. EV for the daily practicality and I’m game.
@@micheldeen9479 For many it is. I live next door to Monaco which is littered with super-cars and you can't drive more than 50km/h there. You have to look deeper into why that sound makes you feel the way you do. If people in the street enjoyed that noise instead of giving you disapproving looks, would you still feel that same thrill? You don't have to answer :-). I'm not saying don't enjoy it. Of course you should!! I don't want to be a killjoy. However I suspect we are both a product of our generation rather than there being something intrinsic about that noise and human beings.
Phillip.
Billionaire supercar purchases tend to stick only to known marques that are expected to retain or appreciate in value over decades. EVs are believed to only depreciate.
Lost respect for him when he decided to join the VW group.
Nevera is also just not very good looking IMHO. Looks abnormally bland for a hypercar
You've said it, band prestige. The price they set is so delusional. Also, most people that buy super cars want to showoff their wealth with cars that not only look loud but also sound loud. On top of that the car looks so mundane. Why would anyone pick it over an Aston Martin Valkyrie. At least they are probably profitable just by the 50 they've sold. Profit margin must be insanely high, no way the cost of each car would be anywhere near the $2mil asking price.
Valkyrie is powered by Rimac Tech, engine, battery and software.
So yes, why would anyone buy original is beyond you.
@@Blento0404otnelB You must know that the Valkyrie comes with a high RPM V12 which is the show piece. Simply search and you'll see how many articles or videos you can find on the V12 and how many you can find on the electric system. Also it has aerodynamics designed by Red Bull F1.
The EV market in general is flooded... I imagine it is difficult to standout as a brand.
He simply stated the obvious. Nobody is prepared to waste money on too expensive electric cars. It’s so basic. How can you say you lost respect for him?!? People who undestand cars can only stick to what makes sense. And expensive non-sense electric cars are indeed…non-sense.
He says he lost respect because the owner is blaming the market rather than the strategy of the company. He thinks there is a value proposition problem rather than an abandoning of EVs. If Ferrari comes out with an EV that can plug into the Tesla Superchargers from the start then let's see how many they will sell. Lots I suspect. Ferrari spend millions on marketing making their brand "cool" which Rimac has never done.
Phillip.
This guy is talking nonsens from as$.
I’ve been saying for awhile now that ICE engines will increasingly be for the wealthy and long haul trucking. The Horsepower wars are pretty much over at this point with $40k EVs faster than $100k + super luxury gas engine cars as well as super exotic cars from just 10 years ago. Now the wealthy pivot is towards “the driving experience” and leaving the horsepower wars largely to increasingly cheap EVs. Pretty soon the bottom of the barrel ICE car will top $100k probably by 2030 while EVs will fall below $20k brand new. The ICe market will be tiny because the cost to build and service gas engines will be getting more and more expensive and limited every year. Already ICE dealers and mechanics shops close or increasingly settle for worse and worse tech talent. Young people do not want to work on ICE cars. If they want to work on cars at all, they want to learn EV tech.
The hign price used to be an incentive regardless of superiority. It was a "status symbol" to pay 10 x more for a product with little more value. I judge that as a public expression of the need for attention, mistaking wealth for self worth.
Pricing DEBACLE…
The correct price for that car could have been $1.2m
They would have sold like 300 of them
Nevera Perfected Dream Electric Hyper Sports cars !!!
Love the Chinese Electric Super Sports cars, too. Also much more affordable for the Wealthy Rich People to buy and with newer technologies !
Can't wait to see what the new TESLA ROADSTER can do.!, that is, if ELON ever do decides to productions, the new ROADSTER?
Love to see who will win around on the tracks !!!
😍💖⚡️🏎⚡️💖🏁💯👌
Although my car is only a little Renault Zoe, I feel like a cool dude when at the wheel!! Give me electric cars every time!!
Did you expect him to answer "because they are insanely expensive"? Of course he gives whatever answer which puts him and his product in the best light. Better to say it is some flaw in the buyer's thinking and hopefully shame them into re-considering buying his product. Everything an executive says is marketing on some level. They are not in the business of being totally honest about the quality of their product.
You can say everything you said was the problem with Nevera about essentially all EVs. Pricing. They’re all too expensive compared to their ICE counterparts. Performance. All EVs are fast in a straight line. EVs have leveled the playing field and made it just boring as no one is able to stand out, like Bugatti did when they launched the Veyron for instance. EVs have on e and for all destroyed performance as a luxury item and that will never return as shown with the Nevera. 2M dollars isn’t buying you top trumps as cars at a 1/10th of the price essentially are equally fast.
Watch Kyle Conneors latest video thrashing a Cayman on Angeles crest. He states the obvious. There are so much missing from the interaction with the car driving an EV that he (of all people) most definitely are going to buy a manual ICE sports car for weekend fun. EVs can’t get you that. Alyssa said it so true. I like noise! I like being engaged and working for the progress.
All EV's are super car. Some more than others.
Price, of course
Products that are so exclusive can have any reason for high or low sales. It could be because it doesn’t go vroom vroom. Motorcycles have a hard transition to electric because of this. Usually there is more to it. I wonder if they will build the other 100 cars and just wait for them to sell?
Motorbikes won't be doing an EV transition anytime soon. Weight, range and charging all count against ev motorbikes
I would love to see the rimac nevera race the regera ghost edition someday
Sam really like your content and really enjoy your videos. The problem with EVs is they are tomorrow’s E waste. As an electronics engineer when I see teardown videos on Monro live it fills me with dread. looking at battery packs with for a cheap Chinese components which are completely unserviceable is the reason EVS will ultimately fail. I recently paid a visit to the York Railway Museum in the UK which is filled with old steam engines which are over 100 years old but still work. unfortunately, electric cars are not machines but disposable consumer electronics and which Is the main reason they never gonna take off properly
EVs have already taken off in China.
People that have the kind of money to buy these toys need to feel special and unique... The Rimac has the numbers but not the personality... Yes it is a disadvantage at this point, not to have an engine sound to attract that kind of crowd... but they could have also done a better job with the design wow factor inside and out ... Pagani's and Koenigsegg's of this world were able to make it in that market without the brand/race heritage of Ferrari or Porsche but they are very unique and very "artsy" products
File this one in the sad but true section. If Rimac had done a tie-in to be the latest James Bond car in the last movie then they would have boosted sales. If the USP is fastest 0-100km/h then it needs to be more than 0.1s to have any real bragging rights. When Tesla Plaid launched, all the enthusiasts were taking it to drag strips and absolutely destroying the competition. This gave a cool aura to what is an average looking family saloon car.
Phillip.
I dont find his comments crazy. If I had $2M to spend I would want a screaming beast. not a fast Tesla.
And then his choice of press colour for the car was a disaster, the design is already bland, it needed something bold.
It pronounced Matty, i dont think your respect counts for didly squat.
hi viking, fair coments, but also understand his a balkan, mentality is very unique compared to standard world, price true was very edgy, my key thought what causes the non sell out would be design, missed opptunity it should of pushed limits of the supercar world and craeted its identity thew some crazy polarizing design, example cyber truck, as it stands its basicly mutant generic super car design wich in no shape of form creates a brand image to remeber, the generic ever super car approach and 0 brand hertiage is a big miss, the company should of paid more attention to this, but is was soaly focust on performance numbers wich in todays world really are pushing limits to useless numbers
Also add that anyone wanting a high performance EV will wait for the Roadster, which is about 1/9th the cost of the Rimac.
lol
What's the roadster?
Ur right man bravo:))
It’s not about the price…it’s the visceral sound of controlled explosions!
Rimac didn't expect to get near comparable competition so soon.
Well that surprises no one ! Performance cars nowadays are all fast so clearly speed alone can't be the only selling point. Unfortunately that's all EV's bring to the table...Silent speed as well. Boring.
So it's the faster car but it has no prestige. Andt a Chinese car has? Where is the credibility in that?
I would like to buy a Rimac someday, after i manage to buy a Bugatti first.
Many of these people already have a Tesla, likely a plaid in their car collections and maybe they are waiting for their Tesla Roadsters with fricken rocket thrusters. Can I come out and say it, the Rimac cars don't look that good. They are cool, but they don't look like a Zonda, a SF90 a Chiron or a Aventador. Tesla has already saturated the market for speed. It's also interesting how there's a bunch of cars that all get close to the same performance - EV gives you all the straight line performance you ever dreamed of, right up to the limits of tyre technology.
Rob Mourer started his own company?
Its pronounced more like Rimats. Mate is pronounced like Martay.
American English 💯
Styling is a bit meh...battery tech and control systems are interesting but the pricing of the car is a bit high so agree with you there for sure
Its pronounced Rimak ❤
It isn't but its'ok.. C in Rimac is spoken as C in Pronounciation... Or as ts in "iT'S ok".
Obviously if you're looking at an investment like a hyper car you want it to full of emotions that others will want, who wants this one trick pony that is essentially just transport, and if you watch car wow you'll see an rc car is faster over the standing quarter of a mile
I think Rimac as a company have been over priced and I think will soon be in trouble as they have massive debt after expanding quickly with just one model and also purchasing Bugatti. VW group will be able to buy back Bugatti for a fraction of the cost they sold it.
Rimac is Bugatti Player ( VW group 😢
I’ll take the Tesla Plaid and invest the other $2.2 million in Tesla stock instead of the Rimac!
+Roadster for 200k will smoke the 2M nevera
Thats the price that Mate has to pay he dont understand you will be rich selling to the mid class not the rich his car could be a hit in price ranging 150 us dollars and at the time he distroy the ego of the rich but he is so poor to make its own tesla giga factory 😢😂😂😂
$2M with close to 2,000 hp and a lap time of 7:05 on the Nurburgring? No wonder it was a sales failure.
Cheers mate
An internal combustion engine pumps out much more pollutants than those with an electric motor. Personally, I think it’s much cooler to go electric.
Soon loud will mean annoying old slow poison mobile.
Social benchmarks oh geez. This is why a lot of people go into car manufacturing 😂 the cool factor.
Lotta political and ALSO fossil fuel propaganda at work I do believe 😏
Ree mack. Not rematch. Lol :-)
No reemack and no rematch it is Rimac or in English rematz
Posters habe already pointed out, super expensive cars sell to flatter the buyer. There is a big backlash against EVs going on at the moment, rich people are just buying whatever will get them the most attention. If Lewis Hamilton and a few other racing celebs bought one, they'd sell fine.
A plaid is close to sped also the new Porsche taycan is almost at fast for 10% the price
And this "almost" is tue big difference. Neither Tesla nor Porsche could create a car with the same speed for such a low price.
Both are definitely not close at all. Nevera is in another League.
