Virgin may build electric vehicle to compete with Tesla - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Zeke129;47383814]He should just take the name of a dead scientist and name the car after that, despite having nothing to do with the person. I'd drive a Fermi. Wait no that's worse[/QUOTE] And then GE unveils the Edison.

[QUOTE=laserpanda;47383889]What kind of car is that? It's a Curie! My bones hurt...[/QUOTE] And then your jaw comes off.

This is fantastic! Hopefully if Virgin and Tesla go head to head, other auto makers will try and create more affordable electric vehicles.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;47383761]I can see Virgin being a branding issue in North America, honestly. Nobody wants a car with Virgin written on it.[/QUOTE] I'd buy a Virginmobile just for the name.

[QUOTE=OvB;47383978]And then GE unveils the Edison.[/QUOTE] It only travels in one direction and has bucket seats made of concrete.

The phone company or the airline or a different company? I assume the airline because it mentioned airplanes, and airplanes are slightly closer to cars than phones but you never know, I mean Samsung makes heavy artillery and real-life sentry guns :v:

[QUOTE=counterpo0;47382286]I hope the interior is as chill as their planes. -image-[/QUOTE] All cars can only be purchased in one colour, purple.

[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;47383992]I'd buy a Virginmobile just for the name.[/QUOTE] Wish I knew enough about cars to make a joke about how there's already a virginmobile.

[QUOTE=counterpo0;47382286]I hope the interior is as chill as their planes. [IMG]http://www.insidethemagic.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/virgin-america.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] That just looks like a standard interior, I flew on an Emirates A380 last summer and the lighting was pretty much identical

[QUOTE=Zeke129;47383761]I can see Virgin being a branding issue in North America, honestly. Nobody wants a car with Virgin written on it.[/QUOTE] This is what you think :D It is quite cute to ride pimp / rich car then claim that you are virgin (to the prostitutes)

[QUOTE=OvB;47383978]And then GE unveils the Edison.[/QUOTE] Total ripoff of the Tesla tbh.

[QUOTE=Banhfunbags;47381774]This is exactly what Elon Musk wants.[/QUOTE] Its what everyone who wants electric cars to improve wants.

Are we able to tell if it's a female virgin when we turn the ignition key for the first time and power steering fluid spurts out under the car?

[QUOTE=Chrisordie;47381885]This is great, competition is good of consumers[/QUOTE] but is this good for bitcoin?

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;47383839]Haven't seen any issues with Virgin branding for their flights for America as Virgin America. I mean there's a different audience when it comes to cars tho and driving in a "Virgin Car" would be roast material Bransons probably aware of it[/QUOTE] Yeah, a lot of people see cars as status symbols so name means a lot. People hate airlines in the first place so the name doesn't matter as much there.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;47387375]Yeah, a lot of people see cars as status symbols so name means a lot.

Maybe the hood ornament will be a girl similar to the old Rolls Royce ones, and what's on Bransons planes.

future is looking bright
