..If it actually make it to the market and reasonably priced... O0:



Having famously killed off its electric car project back in October, Dyson’s automobile remained a mystery to most, with insiders telling Engadget that only a handful of engineers had seen a working prototype somewhere in Wiltshire. But yesterday, the company chose to finally show off its scrapped electric car for an interview about Sir James Dyson — now worth £16.2 billion — topping the Sunday Times Rich List for the first time.

According to The Times, Dyson revealed that his electric vehicle, codenamed “N526,” would have been a seven-seater with a whopping 600-mile range per charge. This was largely thanks to the company’s proprietary solid-state batteries, which could apparently sustain such performance “even on a freezing February night, on the naughty side of 70 mph on the motorway, with the heater on and the radio at full blast.” Assuming that 600-mile figure is based on Europe’s WLTP standards, it’s an impressive jump from Tesla Model S' 379 miles and almost doubling the long-range Model X's 314 miles (the latter also a seven-seater).

Despite its 2.6-ton weight, Dyson’s aluminum car could go from zero to 62MPH in 4.8 seconds (about half a second more than the long-range Model X), with its top speed apparently reaching 125MPH (30MPH shy of the Model X’s). This is all coming from the twin 200kW electric motors rated with 536BHP and 480lb/ft of torque. And yes, Dyson himself had driven the prototype, albeit “secretly in a screened-off compound.”

I don't like my Dyson.  It's good the first few months, after that it broke and I had to send it in for repair.  After a few years, it lost it's suction.  Too much plastic.  I clean it all the time too, make sure there is no blockage.

Got rid of it and got a Kirby.  Thing is heavy but all metal and sucks so strong.  Best vac ever.

I've never own a Kirby but heard good things about it. The best vac I've ever owned was a Miele but it was very outdated so I replaced it with the Dyson.

Dude the Kirby is awesome man.  The thing just literally sucks so good.  It's amazing, I love using it everyday because I'm a neat freak!  My house gotta be spotless like in the magazine.

I heard good things about Miele too but never tried it.  I wanted the best suction power, and Kirby fit the bill.

Dude, all you got to say is "no I don't want it" and they go away.  No need to lie and have them keep calling you.

The guy came and did a demo for me.  I loved it but he wanted $1800.  I said no but thanks for the demo. 
He pressured me a bit and came down to $1000 but I kept saying no thanks.

Next day, I went on online and bought one from a local seller for $200.  Looks and works like new, came with all the hoses and rug cleaner.

Best vacuum ever and I wouldn't know how good it is if the guy didn't come demo for me.
