It will be very interesting to see their - a British design - solution. Rumour last year had it as a competitor to Tesla. But now which Tesla would that be? And that they've hired a gang of ex-AM people.

Maybe a rival to Tesla, as in a company that is/was not an established auto manufacturer....?

Clive Sinclair created a lot of publicty of his proposed electric vehicle with the result that we had the C5 released to howls of laughter in 1985.

Move on and now the latest generation of innovators has thrown his hat in the ring.

My guess is that it will look like an updated version of Trotters Independen Trading Reliant Robin.
