I'm not very familiar with this stuff, but it sounds terrible. When has this happened in the past?

Here's a few. But there's more of these dating back at least to the 70s.
Damn, that's terrible. Thank you for the links (although I'm not going to read them all, to preserve my sanity)
Canoo, Nikola, Bollinger...US EV startups have all been scams. Aptera has been scamming since 2009.
Well, Rivian and Lucid did okay. Tesla is an outlier.
BUT they didn't lead with a selling price. That's where my bullshit alarm goes off.
I'd be happy to be wrong on this one, but... The signs are there.
