Thank you for your questions and the kind words. Here's a bit more detail on the points you raised: 1) The base MSRP for the Model O1 and Model 84 is $80,000 in the U.S. and Canada. Our new Olympus EV platform is priced at $50,000. 2) Olympian's fully modular EV architecture is the answer. We've taken a radically different approach across manufacturing, operations and company culture. In the past, those failed \"first-gen\" EV players followed a traditional vehicle development approach, which often took at least 3-5 years to bring a vehicle to market. They faced high cash burn rates, invested in lavish offices and facilities, and built large, bureaucratic organizations. Unfortunately, most of these companies failed before ever delivering a vehicle to customers. We've simplified the electro-mechanical system, reduced sensor, actuator and harness complexity, and fully modularized our drivetrain, chassis, upper vehicle body and cockpit components. We've also combined our infotainment and diagnostics software into a single, efficient application. We maintain a lean team with 10X engineers and prioritize co-development with our strategic partners, rather than attempting to build everything in-house. 3) We scheduled our first customer deliveries in December 2024, which will mark one of the fastest go-to-market launches ever by an automaker. 4) Regarding autonomous driving, we currently have no plans to pursue L2/L3 autonomy development in-house, as it's a completely different business line that requires distinct technical expertise. Our core focus remains on building exceptional vehicles. That said, when the market matures and it's the right time for Olympian Motors, we intend to integrate an existing solution, or even potentially license it from Tesla when/if it becomes available to other automakers.","author_name":"Jasmine Sungu","votes":1,"created_at":"2024-10-23T20:57:33Z"}]},{"id":273103,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:273103","question":"Could you please respond to the questions people posted here in the past few months?????!!!","author_name":"Samuel Wein","votes":7,"created_at":"2024-01-04T19:21:18Z","canonical_url":"https://wefunder.com/olympianmotors#question-273103","answers":[{"id":294786,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:294786","answer":"Hi Samuel, thank you for your patience!

I’m considering investing but have a few questions regarding the technological direction of your vehicles. I appreciate the minimalist approach, but modern consumers often look for more than just design—they value connectivity, customization, and innovation. With that in mind: 1. How will Olympian Motors integrate smartphone connectivity? Will there be a way for users to remotely access or update their vehicles through a mobile app or other platform? 2. Are the dials and instrumentation in the vehicle completely fixed, or is there any digital adaptability, like customizable gauges or display options? 3. Many buyers choose Tesla or Rivian not just for the EV aspect but for their evolving software and tech-forward experience. What features set Olympian apart in terms of digital functionality beyond the classic aesthetic? 4. Some brands, like Bugatti, have chosen to go fully mechanical, while others focus on software-driven experiences. Where does Olympian Motors position itself between timeless minimalism and modern digital enhancements? I’d love to hear more about the company’s vision for balancing simplicity with innovation.
