Croatia :: Mate Rimac - Rimac Automobili - Electric Car Startups - Jan 11 2016

[@gurriato]

Huge respect for not selling out to the Emirates and choosing to remain in his home country even if it meant taking the long route towards his goals.

[@therionman52]

Exactly! Employing Croatian people, invest in our own country and economy.

[@gurriato]

+therionman52 As a Spaniard, I grew up watching my country being sold piece by piece to foreign capital and its industry disappearing. It's always the same story: easy money in exchange for losing your sovereignty. As an example, our only mainstream car manufacturer (Seat), founded by the state in the 1950s and formerly a source of national pride, was sold out to the Germans 30 years ago and it's now entirely at their mercy (like them deciding to make the new SUV in the Czech Republic instead, screwing over our workers). So even if it is in a foreign land, I'm happy to see people doing the right thing. It's even better that it was oil money what they refused. I can't stand these billionaire Arab pricks going around with money they never had to work for, buying out whatever they want as a hobby.

[@AntonyLEXUS]

Gurriato Sagaz maybe cauze ur king of Spain is stupido...then poeples likes u are just blame the Arabs who are doesn't do anything with your lovely seat...poor of espana

[@antonioparic1457]

As a Croatian and whats more important, as human, I am very proud of your achievements in this business environment. As a car person I was always very interested in the cars and technology that your company makes. I wish you all the best in the future development of the company and the technology based on electric power. Nice of you to mention Nikola Tesla! I am looking forward to visiting your factory and to witness the future in person!!!

[@Dude31463]

Beautiful words from beginning to end... Puno Pozdrava :)

[@jackero1000]

[@JohnKreeseTactics]

I’m Serbian and I respect Croatians this car that he makes is amazing I hope one day too I can make an electric hyper car in Serbia

[@advandermeer]

Very impressive young man. It will be interesting to see where he can take this company.

[@orahovavucichitlerdacicgoe7223]

Well done good work Mate Rimac..

[@blacksurface7995]

A small company in a country without an serious industry show the big ones, how a innovative and great electric car looks like. Thank you so much Mate, you convenience me, that even in our bad developing world, it is possible to fulfill dreams even with good intentions!

[@kirksdva8310]

Is smol for now but 700 employee is not Smol continue growing neo make campus for 2000 people

[@chillirodrigues]

Amazing work! Congratulations from Brazil.

[@bagi035]

Bravo, bravo, bravo! Mate prekrasan govor. Uživao sam dok sam te slušao.Osječao sam se ponosno kao da sam na tvome mjestu. Bravo , bravo , bravo ! Mate wonderful speech . I enjoyed while I listened . I felt proud as if I were you .

[@flaviuvasiuti8223]

I met the guy today at Hella Day at Timisoara.He's modest,brilliant,etc,etc....Well done Mate!

[@omniconcepts_7275]

It would be great to see Tesla motors and Rimac Automobili working together on a vehicle.

[@theoptimist8110]

Maybe, maybe not. Since Elon is a megaloman. He is going for all or nothing. Mate is satisfied with a company growing enough to be a stable company on the market in the long term. He is not throwing billions away. I understand that Elon had earned those billions by working on his own almost. This guy didn't have anything, couldn't pay the employees but worked together as a team and that's why he cherishes every single one of them. Business tactics are totally different.

[@PedjoGT]

Bravo Mate...vrhunska prezentacija!!! Radim slican posao sa vozilima i placen sam solidno....rado bi radio sa vama i za vas!!!

[@JeremyClay69]

Good lecture. Well done.

[@NenadBach]

Brilliant on many levels. From new technology to reverence for life and sustainable living.

[@dijanamaric8673]

Predivna za nasu zemlji

[@glynemartin]

This guy's view goes way past just building great cars...very inspirational...

[@prodrivebrasil]

I am amazed!! Croatia? Electric car? This good, this fast.... incredible! Really nice to see things changing. :)

[@ledenisb2541]

kralj si svaka čast samo naprijed,želim ti uspjeh!

[@ndeco2]

Prvi put čuh da je neki stranac konačno pročitao tvoje prezime pravilno, Rimac, a ne Rimak

[@dag616]

Impressive!!

[@anthnnunley]

Mate Rimac's done a great job with electric car technology. I wish I could get access to funding for my own electric car company. Going on 14 years now trying to get investors but no success. Good for you Rimac! I won't give up until I build first car to compete.

[@crohammer]

this guy can be proud... respect!

[@wafi0123]

Electric mobility is 100% efficient inside 100% intelligent electric infrastructure example Shanghai meglev

[@AntonyLEXUS]

Riad Ahmed well ...Shanghai maglev build with a German technology...Chinese poeple aren't creative likes Japan or Korea or likes Croatia...

[@plavix2215]

wow..... life saving torque vectoring. E-cars will be incredible.

[@marijopetkovic7253]

So Slovakia which is more east than Croatia is central Europa country and Croatia which is more to the west is eastern country. Interesting this western geography. To Mister Rimac and especially to team of people behind this incredible job all the best in future enterprises. People you make me proud and if any money in future come my way you will be first on my list whom I will give support and where I will invest. God, Croats and Rimac team.

[@kristianhorvat4333]

it is so called political geography

[@Cloxxki]

Has Rimac since changed their motor layout to dual motor? Seems there is very little coverage (allowed) on this car still?

[@NearTheLimits]

Hey Mate, how you're going?

[@jarlingesandvik9883]

Make a DC to Dc charger for Direct solcharge. From a string of solarcelle. No inverter just dc to dc. Then evry in the world can drive EV. Make it in a smal unit one a Ccs contector. And have the charing standars inside. Havent found a charger like dc to dc direct from solar so make on.

[@Cloxxki]

I didn't watch the whole thing. Came here to ask why so many years of development for about as many cars to be sold? Will a next model follow shortyly?

[@barryboyd7973]

Very, very impressive young man indeed! How fitting that he's from the same place as Tesla. Hard to believe he wasn't a good student...I suspect he found school too slow/boring, because he's obviously extremely bright.

[@blacksurface7995]

No, because our school system killing creativity and the ability to think by ourselves. Mate done his progress by the right and natural way, try and fail, so long you achieve something. You catch the goal with discipline and initiative to really work long enough on some subject, to get the true understanding. Also a reason why Mate and his team is so successful, he do not do it primarily for money.

[@profiidiot]

when I earn my first 1 million euros, I will buy a car from you

[@AntonyLEXUS]

profiidiot pro me too
