Shocked!
This is akin to if a bicycle company tried to build cars, thinking their engineers can simply shift from bicycles to cars...

#17I'm pretty surprised to find that Dyson even had an electric car project. The business similarity between vacuums and vehicles seems pretty low to me. Is it just the electric motors and Li-ion batteries?
Toyota and Honda are, perhaps, notable exceptions to this.

From their pre-cancellation PR, that seems to have been exactly the bet, that their existing expertise in electric motors and batteries would carry over as a competitive advantage.

#20Earlier quoted context omitted.
He was very pro-Brexit, then left the country and moved to Singapore.
I don't see how exactly that makes him a terrible human being.
I am not British so I could be viewing it wrong, but I imagine they are calling Dyson a terrible person because he advocated for Brexit, and now that it is happening, he packed up and moved to another country and won't feel any repercussions for something he advocated for.
