    Look up Edison Motors. A literal logger in Canada is beating out every truck company with investors. People are excited and lining up to buy them (logging companies anyway).

    What he’s doing with logging trucks can be done with tractors.

        What is it? 90% of companies fail in under 3 years?

        I get it. Still cool to see someone try and try well.

      Wow, that’s a cool little company. Also, “Stealing Tesla’s Ideas”, ha.

      Related to the sibling comment, good ideas are rarely the whole story to a company’s success. Execution (and luck) matter.

      I’m going to need to read up more on them. The jump from “regular truck drivers who do repairs” to “so we put a locomotive drivetrain in our truck” is too big and I think it’s really the key to them getting off the ground.
