    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.

    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).

    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.

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.

    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.

  • @sesvecan

    @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.

    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?

    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.

    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.)

    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.

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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

  • @Nord_Mann
    @Nord_Mann 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    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.

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.

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.
