The kind of people this world needs....Absolutely amazing guy! Perseverance at its best...

[@tengokcni]

It’s great to see how he really want to build the car in Croatia and being independent from government fund, a true passion for cars and his country

[@jaram0071986]

Why should croatian government invest in Rimac Automobili or any other similar project if they can just keep the money for themselves... Giant band of thieves...

[@ivan-Croatian]

Rimac is a thieve also. Sells nothing but we, the people must pay for his little toys. Plus his father stole 40 million euro's from the Croatian people during the criminal privatization of the country after the war in the 90's.

[@tomislav2494]

@@ivan-Croatian not true he sells a lot becuse he is not selling only cars.he is selling technologies has hyundai and VW invest in him so he can make technologies for them and they pay for everything including the manufacturing of final products. I dont know if his father stole but he was not sentenced for anything and even if he did that doesnt make Mate a criminal directly.According to you Everybody whoose dad maybe killed or did something wrong is killer or criminal. P.S.He doesnt make you pay anything especially now when they are super sucessful examples: first line production car Nevera, taking over Bugatti and a multi million dollar company. You are just envious and jelaous of other people success cause you will never reach that level.

[@thagoff]

lmao independent. this guy is sucking up EU money (200 million euros) while promising autonomous taxis that don't exist.

[@thagoff]

@@tomislav2494 he was not sentenced because he's a member of the convicted "criminal organization" political party in croatia, HDZ, who control the judicial system.

[@SgtStinger]

Looking forward to the other three episodes, this was great! Rimac is such an interesting company, so getting a deeper look in to them is quite exciting!

[@louicoleman2910]

I like Rimac, both as a company and Mate himself, the same with Bollinger. Mate and Robert Bollinger (of Bollinger Motors) are both highly respectful of Tesla and Elon for driving the electric revolution whilst complementing the industry as a whole. It’s good that a greatly innovative car company can spring up seemingly out of nowhere. Huge respect to Mate and his company!

[@OddisProductions]

Incredibly inspiring to listen to their story. Bootstrapping and willpower can lift mountains, slowly but steady.

[@aurora2319]
