I hope the car will be better than its vacuum cleaners as they are very cheaply made and of very low quality. I know this from repairing a number of them. To be frank you are better off throwing them away and buying a better quality make.

Re: Vacuum-maker Dyson is reportedly working on an electric car
#22This is great news. The car industry could really benefit from completely fresh competitors beyond Tesla. And whatever some people say, Dyson did pioneer the bagless vacuum cleaners, and their technology works. It would be cool if they could come up with some completely new how a "car" is made/designed. Beyond the environmental benefits, electric cars allow companies to completely rethink car design as all the constr…

Had one for 10 years now. When will I notice the lack of quality?

On the contrary. Dyson has not won any independent vacuum tests but usually ranks in the bottom half. Dyson is high price, mainly marketing with gimmicks not results. Dyson is the self marketing part of Jobs without the genius.

That's a sort of inverted survivorship bias - you've seen "a number" break, presumably from similar usage if they're yours, or at least similar temperature/humidity/etc if they're from around where you live if they're from your friends or customers, and you feel that translates to all Dysons everywhere. The reality is that you've seen at most a few thousand if you're repairing them professionally. That probably isn't…
Re: Vacuum-maker Dyson is reportedly working on an electric car
#27Dyson do actually know a thing or two about making lightweight, high-performance electric motors plus they do actually sell product in volume. There was uproar a few years ago when Dyson moved their manufacturing out of the UK to Malaysia. I imagine that they will use their Malaysian factories too, further down the line, should the electric car product prove to be successful. I imagine that the styling and colours th…
Not meant to be negative, just another take on some of your points: * Dyson has a factory in a country with low wages. * Dyson uses modern styling in their product lines. * Dyson has a strong brand. (* Dyson knows about electrics) It sounds like you can replace Dyson with quite a lot of names. One of the human brain's strengths is pattern recognition. Wether true or not, we see patterns everywhere. But that applies t…

They are expensive. But they work fine and they are ingeniously made. Each little bit can be taken off and cleaned. It's a very 'open' design for the user.
My comment was about
"Dyson did pioneer the bagless vacuum cleaners, and their technology works"
It's louder then any other and cleaning results are worse. It's not remarkable tech.
