Dyson, yes he of the vacuum cleaners and other clever things, will launch an electric car in 2020, it was announced today!

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2017/09/26/dyson-build-first-electric-car-uk-2020/

Based on Dyson's past products it will be clever, well designed and expensive.

I hope it is more successful than the washing machine....

That reminds me we saw a Sinclair C5 in the Swansea docks museum last week thinking.

His hairdryer retails for £300, so I hate to think how much a car would cost?

I think the best Dyson product has been the Airblade handdryer

I've had and continue to have Dyson vacuums and I really don't think they are brilliant

From a energy saving feature, the quality of the rechargeable batteries, lack of loss of suction through not having to suck through a dust bag are all good but some of the plastic parts are very flimsy and prone to breakages and sometimes I wish it did have a dust bag when fine dust clouds up from the bin when tipping it out

The washing machine was too expensive and too deep in terms of depth - it stuck out from a normal 600mm depth too much and a twin drum wasn't revolutionary enough to excite

He's had more than a few misses

Agreed, but it is his money and he is willing to take a risk. I like that.

Automotive JV with MMC, perhaps?

JV with MMC.

There might be a few good jokes buried there I suspect!

I cannot imagine the design blend of plastic clip together with Morgan. Clip on wings, headlamps, doors made out of grey plastic.

I agree re the hand dryer - the new smaller Blade V one is excellent.

The price is going to be interesting.


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
