Just checked the company website. They seem to be in early stages, but there's a lot of potential
Not sure if announcing the company on Elon Musk's website was a good idea though.

America's First Black-Owned Automaker To Be Honored During Juneteenth Celebration
This upcoming Juneteenth, Atlanta-based Derek Automotive will pay tribute to the former enslaved and trailblazing automaker, C.R. Patterson.
This is now considered ev-xr or xr-ev technology. BYD and other Chinese brands do this. Electric Vehicle eXtended Range or eXtended Range EV......
There is a small Electric generator that charges one battery pack while you drive and drain on the other. So instead of a Tesla with a range of 300 miles, you put 2 gallons of gas in one of these and you can drive in theory over 500.
So you can either stop at a charging station and sit and charge for 30 or so minutes OR stop at a gas station, get a few gallons and keep the car moving
If it has potential Musk will try to buy the company; that has been his modus apprendi.
Not really as of late. I think the twitter acquisition and recent OpenAI bluff offer were wake up calls.
Elon would've had inside knowledge that Lucid was coming...... now aside from it being a massive fraud/ ponzi scheme..... the car gets rave reviews when compared to Tesla, the only caveat is the premium price tag, (which is necessary to keep the fraud/ ponzi scheme going)
Rivians get really good reviews. There was a pretty serious software issue early on, but they have seemed to resolve most of those pretty quickly. And their prices aren't nearly as high as Lucid. They fit a segment Tesla wants/needs, a really good ev truck and a true ev SUV on a truck platform not a glorified lifted car. Rivian even uses Teslas network of chargers and has a contract with Amazon to make most of their anticipated 100,000+ ev delivery trucks....... no Elon in sight..... I don't think his money is what it used to be.
As I explained earlier, his company's are one big robbing Peter to pay Paul, revolving circle of inflated profits. And now that he's fired most of the ppl behind his 12 or so government investigations, the fraud and governmental welfare can continue.
That article is 3 years old... BYD is Tesla’s only real competitor. In the future, Lucid or Rivian might compete because Amazon is a significant backer of Rivian, and the Saudi government owns a substantial portion of Lucid.By the way, I’m tired of hearing the phrase “first black owned.”America's First Black-Owned Automaker To Be Honored During Juneteenth Celebration

Tesla is not even on BYD’s radar. Tesla should focus on MAIC or whatever their fucking name is. That’s their competition.
Did you think this was a real thing? Let me ask you a question: didn’t this forum post a thread about Master P owning an electric car company? Either Master P doesn’t own an electric car company or he’s implying Master P isn’t black, Jack.I searched and all I see is old information about the car and the car company?
Can't speak on openAI, but the Twitter purchase was, and I called this from the beginning, an attempt to spread his influence over one of the world's biggest media outlets.
Only thing I got wrong was thinking he would only use it for crypto trolling.
Yes true, but from a financial aspect I think he bit off more than he wanted. Elon originally only wanted to pay $12 -$15B as loans against his current Tesla stock shares. He ended up having to sell his shares in 2 waves totalling $27B, he then got $13b in loans from 6 different sources and the Saudis added another $5B!
He was $18B short and ultimately the company a year later is not even worth the $18B he had to borrow to get it...... that's a significant hit to take.
But like I said all of his companies are on a financial tightrope......
SpaceX just had 2 rockets explode minutes after takeoff on their last 2 launches (what a coincidence that some of the government agencies/workers that were investigating SpaceX are now gone right?)
Starlink satellites are allegedly starting to fall out of the sky randomly (same coincidence here too)
Neuralink stays in some controversy....
Tesla cars have horrible depreciation that is stalling sales numbers
But he potentially has $10s of Billions of more government welfare coming.... no harm right?
So then when he makes his bluff offer to buy openAI, not only was the money not there, but the financing probably wasn't available as well. OpenAi rejecting his offer was a gift to him and he knows it which is why he hasn't tried to pursue it any further.
Their website is very misleading. A whole lot of weird jargon to say that it is basically a plug in hybrid. Plug in hybrids are very inferior to Electrical Vehicles. Using 2 technologies increase the cost of manufacturing and its more things that can break down. They are using a black face to sell some BS.
Some of the posts in this thread are very ignorant too. It is really frustrating seeing how easily we are manipulated.
As far as Tesla, don’t believe the BS. The key in any investment is to “Buy Low and Sell High”. Tesla is not low because of their business. They make the best EVs on the market and autonomous Robotaxis will be authorized this year. Tesla stock is highly volatile and takes wild swings. They make the best time to accumulate is when it is low.

Maybe he should have trolled more crypto lol.
Seriously though you make some good points. I hadn't thought of it that way before. It would seem that Musk is being too clever for his own good. He finally got rid of the government guard rails and innovated himself off a cliff.
That said, neuralink was already iffy to begin with. I can't see why anybody would want it now.
wish them luck
