That link is not working for me, so I assume that it is https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/10/01/jim-ratcliffe-wanted-to-conquer-car-industry/, (paywall - they have a cheap deal at the moment).

If they are reassessing the market positioning, the break in production could be a blessing in disguise, especially if they are not selling in European markets. (One dealer told me they sold 3 this model year; you cannot build a business on that).

I like her comments and willingness to discuss the initial decisions that might have hurt them straight out the gate. Direct sales and branding.

Honest article. I enjoyed it and I completely agree with her assessment of the strategy choices ahead.

Having said that, the biggest markets are Texas and los Angeles... So can we please turn off that nanny speed warning for the consumer in your biggest markets?
