CvK is a true inspiration! I’m so thankful I was able to meet him in California a year ago and have a quick chat with him about my go kart build. Not too many car companies where the CEO is so in tune with the design and engineering that he can tell you exactly why a certain bolt or material is used in a particular area of the car. Thank you Christian for showing others it is possible if you work hard!

[@gabethebaeb_5881]

I found this very inspirational. I've always wanted to start a car company from when I was young. I'd love to design cars from the ground up and see how they perform. I want to make a car company that is full on electrification, affordable for everyone, and even fun to drive. I want to be sure that everyone has an car that is environmentally friendly, safe, and even fun to drive! That is my dream as of now. I'd also love to take my dream even further with a ultra luxury electric car brand as well.

[@michaelmerklin9360]

Hallo, I hope you feel good! My name is Michael and I also have this Vision in my mind! I already started slow. My Idea is to create a new car brand for the future ( of course electric! ) Its a very interesting area I think! Maybe, if you would like we can work together and create the ultimate car brand in the future. Best regards, Michael

[@joshpeck5842]

Everyone’s on here in the comments wanting to have their own company but don’t forget Christian went through a lot of heartache and it took years to even come up with a prototype. Not to mention his dad was a business man and so was Christian and he took another path while this dream was on the back burner, so with that said I’m not saying don’t go for your dream but just keep those things in mind when you come across the roadblocks. If you want it bad enough, you’ll have it. Just look at Christian, he did whatever it took and had what it takes to be at his level, he’s a great example of how passion and determination can get you anywhere, look at Enzo and ferrucio, those guys had relatively humble beginnings, and see where they are today and the legacy they left behind

[@galiskatez5767]

People tell me it’s impossible to start a car company Even if I did I would never be up there with Toyota or Ford sales But after seeing this I got more inspired. I will have a car company and nothing will stop me

[@elvpse]

hope you succeed and good luck!

[@TheBunnyDeveloper]

No new car company can really compete with the Detroit three or Toyota, they've got it all set out and a cemented customer base. But- you can find a niche in the car industry which is good for new companies!

Thanks Christian, for sharing your dream. I also started a company from nothing and yes, rock bottom days do make you stronger keeping your head clear, focused and held high. My wife and I now sold our company to employees and they are doing excellent as well. Now my bucket list is to come to Angelholm to see the factory now that I have the time. I love your cars and the technology that you share with the auto industry as they all look to you now for innovative and creative thinking, an inspiration to the industry.

Your my inspiration my man. I am more inspired by people with small to medium companies than large industrials like Toyota. If you can manage to produce something of quality and value to other people its an achievement. It does not matter how many units you produce. There is more to go around for all of us than being obsessed and reliant on few manufacturers.

Bought land in 2019, cleared the gorse forest by myself with just a saw in 2019/2020 and I now need to save for building my garage.

@@Jenniyaasmr I unofficially formed Gillen Motor company on July 7th 2017 and since then I've designed the car (I'm a qualified product designer but not working in my field). I bought the acre in spring 2019 but now need around 20,000 to build a 56x30ft workshop. I'd look for investors but I want to stay in complete control of the project. Ireland's first GT car would certainly get some serious press.. someday.. never give up! 👍😎
