The idea to take away from this topic is that we are getting ever closer to EVs. While not everyone is in favor of change, if EVs have been given the exact same R&D that combustible engines have currently, we would all be running around in Zero Emission EVs.

However, it's obvious by their stock debut that people want to see the type of vehicle this company offers. They are not close to competing with gasoline engines, but what makes this such a great opportunity for mankind is that it is allowing the "market" to grow.

If the sales of these vehicles begins to turn heads (Toyota already has a large stock-interest in Tesla) then it will unwillingly force the entire automotive industry to shift heads and invest research into magnetic engines and transmissions.

Perhaps even more importantly, this will allow R&D money to feed heavily into the battery field. Or maybe we'll even go as far as Fusion power plants as mentioned earlier.
