The claim is that they stole the skateboard idea? That's been around for decades.

Itā€™s so hard to tell who is in the right when these lawsuits happen. The company would obviously prefer that none of their staff go on and work on any competing projects, but they also canā€™t pretend the skateboard in general was unique to Canoo. They would have had to basically copy it part for part for this lawsuit to be successful.

I like following the EV start-up companies and seeing what will come. Canoo has worried me. as i look at their business practices and target markets from the beginning. They started as a car share platform. I love the design but they have been riddled with problems and no real focus. I really think this is the end for canoo. I could be wrongā€¦

Canoo poached a lot of Faraday Future employees.

The future of Canoo may well be determined by the Walton family and associated entities; directly or indirectly.

They do have some pretty cool military and government versions they could sell. Too bad they donā€™t have any way to make enough of them fast enough to deliver those vehicles. If you watch this Munro live video they show them off during the ā€œfactoryā€ tour.

And military uptake. I believe they already sold some to USMil contracts.
Given Congressā€™s propensity to throw bottomless money at anything that is .mil, they may just get bailed out by you and me!

They sold some for concept testing. I doubt theyā€™ll get approved for anything as they are pretty useless from a military perspective.
