They are the best company at making cool renderings of EVs that never get made.

Such an odd startup. Its vaporware at best.
They have a functional prototype of their pickup truck that's more than just a rolling chassis, but the suspension looks rather... primitive, to put it nicely.

The Count likes the Grenadier's ladder frame chassis. Reminds him of his old horse and buggy

But at least they paid some models to say it's amazing! (While they bounce around in a smooth parking lot...)

I was thinking about this one they posted quite a while ago. I could probably be convinced it was an RC car.



At least Vanderhall has Brawley production on the verge of starting, even if it's not exactly going well.


I'm not sure I'd be willing to try this with a Rivian.

Yeah, this company deals in unicorn farts. I liked some of their renders, but if you look into it, you see they are associated with some shady characters from another EV scam (I think Nikola, but don't hold me to it) and are fronted by two baristas that are being propped up to act like they're running the whole thing. My guess is they are patent squatters, building a fake company to steal money from "investors", or trying to build a company with "IP" to sell to someone else. I wish they were real, but, like so many things in life (insert inappropriate joke), I'm afraid they aren't.

I just got their latest "newsletter". I thought I'd throw it up here to support the assertion that Alpha Motors is a scam:
