There is a very good chance it will bounce, and after such a long downtrend, it'll probably be sooner than later.

it's like when the roulette comes up red five times in a row, it pretty much has to be black next time. it's just statistics.

it turns out engines are impossible, sorry guys.

so wait, what are they actually proposing?

wikispeed posted:

0) sink this project and kill the company.
1) Drain all remaining funds to switch to a Front engine, Front wheel drive design, and incorporate the entire drive-train un-modified from used vehicles (must be used as new FF drive trains are not sold complete and running). est $5,000 per engine module but many sprints to convert all modules to accept FF without modification to the drive train.
2) Raise funds and switch to a Chevrolet LS3 “connect and cruise” crate engine. This is the only crate engine currently on the market that is delivered with all electronics connected and a matching key. We don’t have enough money left to do this without raising funds. There is risk in that we’d have to learn how to work with the LS3. est $15,000 per engine module.
3) Raise funds and deliver each car in turn to an electric vehicle conversion shop, at a price higher than the LS3. We don’t have enough money left to do this without raising funds. Lowest risk, needs the most money. est $20,000 by the time they are done, turn-key, per engine module if ~100mi range.
4) Raise funds and hire an ASE certified master mechanic, and appoint them head of engine module fabrication. We likely don’t have enough funds to make a tempting offer without raising funds. Actual amount unknown.
5) Write in an idea here, folks.

so basically they hosed themselves and are now too poor to do anything remotely intelligent
