The Challenges of Building a Hypercar | Mondays with Mate E02

[@Cloxxki]

Hi Mate, I'm a long time fan of your work. A Hyundai Rimac edition car would be the bomb. Like Renault Clio Williams. Mercedes SLR McLaren. Be it a humble AWD hatchback that clubbers the Nurburgring records or more of a Kia Stinger kind of car, decked out, taken to a level it would not be expected to go. But I'm sure in the mean time you're having a lot to do with the better developments in affordable BEVs. Hopefully not the slower charging new Ioniq :-D

[@gabimoura100]

Wow, destroying 15 to 17 cars that costs over 1 million on crash tests is something made out of giant corporations. it's crazy. Congrats Mate.

[@gabimoura100]

Really dude ?? Only that Carbon fiber chassis Costs more than 50k !!! Please

[@kevinwiltshire2217]

They should have just wactched the crash video of Richard Hammond and realized its a safe car

[@gabimoura100]

Mr11ESSE111 we’re talking about an electric hypercar that has more tecnology and performance than anything else in the market

[@mrtee3477]

$250K Tesla Roster will destroy this over price piece of carbon . Wonder this LG chem battery is warranty over 50K km.

[@miroslavgardilcic6179]

@@Mr11ESSE111 Aj se ti okani komentiranja, vidiš da te ama baš nitko ne doživljava.....Rimac je GENIJ !!!!!

[@michaelvassilopanagos4462]

Hi Mate! I'd like to know how Hyundai and Porsche was interested for Rimac. Do you have patents that played huge role in a high performance vehicle ? Give us some backround! Greetings from Greece! :-))

[@ntokozomasilela4259]

Thank you for getting my question 🔥

[@sreekanthsreekumar4470]

Firstly, you’re an Inspiration! Have been following Rimac for a long time now. I do have a few questions: 1) How many hours did the team take to get the perfect aerodynamic design with cD 0.28 with those mobile flaps and rear wing? 2) Do you have any plans in changing to solid state battery? 3) Do you have any plans for Formula E? Hope to work at Rimac in future!

[@houstonjones1950]

I was wondering what qualifications are required to work at your company. Do you need more electrical or mechanical engineers, what are the chances of me joining your company after I finish FER Zagreb. Btw. love this new series, keep it up!

[@266JOHN]

Would you trust Richard Hammond with the C Two? 🙃

[@DRCrimeCircle]

Bro his corpral crash

[@kreiseltower]

Richard is a gold asset for testing rapid unscheduled disassembly.

[@ramaanomuravha8575]

Love the approach, democratizing this technology, transparency

[@DreamCarsPro]

Mate, tell us about your BMW E30 Electric story!

[@orvvro]

That's already on this channel somewhere.

[@shannons1886]

Yes, this is well documented already.

[@felipevi8554]

Thank you so much for everything, Mate, you're an example to follow.

[@yashyp24]

What is the biggest Aha! moment for you that you might think as an advantage over other OEMs?

[@ndeco2]

Upravo na TV- u gledam neki dokumentarac o amerima i njihovim čuvenim UFO-ima i vanzemaljcima, pa malo udjoh i na KZbin jer mi stiže obaveštenje. Videh da je od Rimac automobila, firme iz Hrvatske koja btw nije svesna da poseduje vanzemaljca, koji je uspeo da od mešavine podsmeha i usisivača napravi najbolji usisivač na svetu. Sretno šmekeru i follow iz Beograda :)

[@MateRimacAuto]

I like your style :) Hvala susjed!

[@adithyagolwalkar7896]

I have read that data is the key for development of AI that enables self driving . From where are you planning to get that data ?

[@MartinK1991]

They are making the data for self driving.

[@fazilmuhammed5410]

Hello, fazil here. I am the biggest fan of mate and the company since 2016. Since, you are the best in high performance electric motors and batteries and related stuffs, i am wondering that, will you supply this stuffs for racing, i mean, for like Formula-E ? Or can we expect a Rimac formula e racing team?. Right now the Formula 1 is way better than formula e, but i believe formula e going to be the future. So, whats your take on racing? Thank you. :)

[@vrayn3870]

I will watch this as soon as I am back at home! Just got the notification and now I am hyped :) Btw: when will you pick the winner for the Instagram giveaway? Edit: ohh I saw that u showed the winner's comment :( I thought u only need to write something and not a specific question. But hey, at least Mate liked my comment :)

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Rimac is one of the most inspiring companies to me, so this show is making Monday my favorite day of the week :-) I completely agree that car ownership will be rare in the future. The Model Y I expect to get this year will likely be the last car I own.

[@rockyjordy3271]

Pro tip: watch movies on Flixzone. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies lately.

[@jaxtynzachary5825]

@Rocky Jordy definitely, I've been using flixzone for years myself =)

[@kanehenry1247]

@Rocky Jordy Yup, have been watching on Flixzone for months myself =)

[@KaushikBala333]

When is the Rimac c2 vs chiron race!!

[@kallevespa]

15-17 cars for regulations crash test plus 1 for the final "Hamster"-test ;-)

[@lijuvaidhyan6477]

Really inspiring, wish I could do something like that.

[@darkoskrak7859]

Impresioniran sam. Moj naklon. Lik je jednostavno legenda.

[@Corollakongen]

Hi, Rimac I believe I still have your card somewhere, after your visit to Bergen, Norway a few years back. Your achievement back then was impressive enough. To see that you still strive to make great cars is good. I will put you in the same league as Koenigsegg just as pure electric performance cars. Really really impressive that you have achieved all this. I am looking forward to seeing what the future brings from your end. :)

[@MrEuropeanTv]

Dear brother. Congratulations on your success and proving people wrong in our country I couldn’t be happier to hear this. I am in USA and following the same dream, making a hyper car since 2008. Hopefully one day we can work together. Much move god bless

[@AbcD-td4ml]

I hate electric cars, but for you guys i have so much respect. Being the underdog and building such a great compagnie. You are realy puting Kroatie on the “car” map. Thanks for sharing this on KZbin. I am a big fan. RESPECT and grtz from the netherlands😃

[@huzygaming7216]

Why do you hate electric cars? Whats the reason?

[@Mexxx65]

Thats Mr Rimac yeah?

[@thepanzymancan]

Would you ever consider entering a motorsport series (through a partnership deal with a big car company) such as Formula E or supply tech to Formula 1 teams?

Do you think that super cars and hyper cars are becoming too fast for the road? 1.9 sec to 100km/h seems kinda dangerous, how fast will the cars be in 10-15 years?

[@acky91]

How do u charge the battery best? And what are the methods of charging to maintain lifespan of the battery?

@@aephspore3341 thx for the kind words, but it was kind of a joke in that what they are doing is such a high level of amazing.

[@sigmaxi7822]

I really like the concept of developing literally everything from ground-up. Many times this will cost a lot more than just buying existing parts, but then again the company has full control of every single part. I wonder: Does Rimac also do ASICs (application specific integrated circuits) themself? Like engineering individual chips for ECUs and such.

[@Spazik86]

I wonder how exactly he started the company - where he got the money before Porsche and Hyundai came along with money... It is pretty expensive to start developement and production of electric drivetrains etc.

[@TheUkvinit]

One of the biggest consideration, when you look into autonomous driving that people generally don't think about is that there are more than just cars and trucks on the road commuting. For instance, how can vehicles like a motorcycle or a bicycle which predominantly depends on the rider for control co-exist on the road? What do you think will be a solution?

[@DaveBoxBG]

Dude, great video. What you said is 100% correct. You have a new subscriber.

Unbelievable that no one believed in you ,I think you are the best Hypercar out there well my favorite ♡ Rimac...

[@tominotopia]

What products are you exactly selling? We all know about the car and electric motors, but there surely is more if you came to be profitable in 2019.

[@klemenpetric74]

Mate what about Slovenian hyper car producer Tushek? Are some similarities? Compare please your begining with his. Tnx pozdrav iz Slovenije.

[@rkaid7]

Honestly fucking amazing. Im a ICE nut, 400kw GTR owner but am planning my EV ownership. Im not Croatian but am so proud of what you guys are doing! Keep up these candid videos for as long as you can!!

[@sybermatrix1609]

Agreed autonomous car are the way of the future...

[@MrAlRats]

Even if the future of the automotive industry mainly involves mass production of autonomous vehicles; this is a sector that Rimac could come to excel at. There is a lot of room for innovation in the vehicle manufacturing space. Much of the automotive industry has outsourced most of the vehicle parts. There is an opportunity to significantly reduce the cost of manufacturing autonomous electric vehicles by designing vehicles from the ground up to be used as part of a commercial autonomous vehicle fleet. Rimac should partner with companies such as Foxconn (who are looking to develop expertise in advanced robotics and electric vehicles) to start manufacturing vehicles in higher volume. Rimac should also try to attract investments from companies such as Apple/Google, Amazon, Ford, Groupe PSA, etc.

[@rudik5496]

I miss the look/design of the C1. I’m sure the C2 will look good, but the C1 was so original and classy!

[@Milen4u]

Continuing the topic of autonomous cars and ownership of cars, the concept of cars as mobility service is plausible for big cities in developed countries. However still billions of people live in rural areas, villages and small towns. Or the urban areas are very spread-out like in North America. Vehicles for commercial use would also be used for a long time. In my opinion mobility service would coexist with traditional ownership for a long time. But the world doesn't need so many new cars and the corporations know it. Cheap cars would be a thing of the past as the corporations increase the margins in order to increase their revenues, when the sales drop. It's already happening in Europe with the VW UP, Citroen C1 and their variants from the other brands in the groups.

[@sudharshansuresh7578]

Mr. Rimac. Can you explain why electric cars are so heavy? They have less parts compared to IC engined cars.

[@renemarusevec4459]

Why did you decide to use Lidar for ADAS? Do you think it is a key component or will you continue in the future without a Lidar? Are you planning on participating in Roboraces or you will focus only on ADAS? And yes, autonomous driving is here and it will improve our lives in all aspects.

[@xts392]

How renewable is the c2. Like battery replacement, monocoque and motors? Feel like there will be ev battery grave yards all over by the time I'm old.

[@dariomijacx]

Tesla is not struggling anymore + autonomous car from Tesla is comeing this year. it's already fichter completed and it's in shadow mode testing. So, no decades for autonomous future, it's already here.

[@francop2666]

How does your electric motor compare to Tesla? Which is most efficient? I understand and agree with the battery. However, why not make a wall to the roof. I understand your car has power to all 4 wheels and independent. You have motors in the center of the vehicle. Why not use in wheel motors in each wheel? That may give you more space in the center for battery capacity.

[@x3Cay]

what key tochnologie makes other car companys partner up with rimac ? Greetings from Germany !

[@Uploaderable]

Mate can you finally tell to the public that your company's name pronounces like Rimats and not Rimak. I hate when they say Rimak.

Back in 2011, when I got into Faculty of electrical engineering in Belgrade, I wrote to Rimac asking what kind of engineer they need. They said to call them when I finish. After faculty I sent several applications, I got no replies. Now I am designing railway systems.

[@andrazbosilj9437]

Hi Mate I have a couple of questions. 1) How and where are you testing aerodynamic and chassis performance of the C2 car? 2) Do you consider Tesla motors as a rival in the future or a partner? 3) What traits do you think a good CEO of the company should have? 4) How do you think cars of the future will look like? ( flying cars maybe?) Wishing you best of luck

[@DjordjeNovkovic11]

Hello RimacAutomobili, I was wondering what is the estimated battery life in total, for how many years they are usable? What will happen to them after their lifespan is ended? I guess they are partially recyclable but what is the percentage of non recyclable material and what is the impact on the environment of that material? Consequently, are the batteries good choice for mass production like Tesla cars? (i am aware you are not interested in mass production) Uzgred, auto je terapija za oči. Pozrdav i velika podrška za ceo tim

[@utkarshanand9706]

I do believe that companies like Uber and Tesla are competitors, because of the fact that those interested in an Affordable electric car right now (when they're not so good with their charging speed and range) are the ones that are concerned about the environment and that group is generally reluctant to use it's own vehicles, for the reasons you mentioned (The customer base for ride sharing services is bigger than that though). In my opinion, it shouldn't even have been a market, as of yet, because quite frankly, tech isn't there yet. So, the real innovation which is economically sustainable is going to come in the market where Rimac is currently operating and it will slowly trickle down as batteries becomes more energy dense and their mass production becomes easier. However, predicting the future of owned vehicles isn't that simple. It depends on the market sentiment. As opposed to people in most of Europe and half of America, people aren't really concerned about the impact on the environment in most of South East Asia. To be honest, climate change theories aren't even scientific and the contribution of humans to it is unknown. It's merely a speculation and the data models have all been completely wrong until now. So, owning a car is still like a dream come true for most people in South East Asia and that's something people are willing to work extra for. It also uplifts your status in your family and I don't see that going anywhere soon, because of the fact that younger generation generally buys vehicles to roam around (at places where ride sharing won't take you, or pick you up or at least be readily available as and when you want, i.e. it gives you much more flexibility with where you want to go) with friends and the joy that it brings more than overshadows any concerns about environmental impacts. People aren't as paranoid here as they are in Europe. Owned cars are still going to be a thing at least for a generation or two. Another reason is the infrastructure, which isn't going to come, unless the demand crosses a certain threshold due to some drastic change, like batteries becoming way too efficient, gasoline prices skyrocketing etc. One scenario in which owned cars could become a history is that a disruptive model is introduced which makes it incredibly cheap for people to use ride sharing. That isn't likely either, because, currently, all of them are taking a loss and don't have a path to profitability. Besides, they compete with Auto-rickshaws in South East Asia, which are dirt cheap because of the fact that that's the only price most people can afford. As for autonomous cars, it's impossible that they're going to make any impact in India in the next decade or two, even at the higher end, because of the roads and the way people drive and walk. Overall, it's going to take something really disruptive on the tech side and not just market sentiment, to make that future possible and it can only happen if you do things in the right order, i.e. with a sustainable business model. Simply throwing money at it, like Tesla, has very less chances of working. You have to be lucky enough for that to work.

[@jamesbruce1183]

Congratulations on your company and its success. I would like to own a Rimac someday but I'll not ever have $1M to spend. Do you think Rimac will ever make a $100K or so car? Kind of like the Model S or X? I'm sure it would be special. BTW I'm buying my own Tshirt.

[@shivamkhandait7972]

Can you discuss about 1. how you maintain the cash flow and management as Rimac automobile is startup based company ?. 2. Are you working on futuristic view and technology development for hyper cars ?. 3. Are you going to build any luxurious car like maybach ?

[@ardonjr]

If I ever become a miljonair.. I won't buy a Ferrari, Lamborghini or Aston Martin.. I'd buy a Rimac.. for sure. What a legend!

[@yuriiivanchuk1556]

Hello Mate! First of all, a great job setting up the company! I am a fan of yours, like Cristian von Koenigsegg. I wanted to ask you, how much money in total, approximately of course, it costs you to build a supercar from scratch, so using parts from other manufacturers and/or building them yourself as for example the integrated circuits, buttons, steering column indicator switch, electric motors and bateries as you did in Concept 1, and how much money, including facilities, engineer salaries, hardware and software, it cost you to build your first Concept 1, as you did yourself. Which are the most important steps you can advise in the early stages and the strategy. What software you need to build que design and then digital 3D car model. How much does it cost and, ones more, in your second video you said than with Concept 1 you didn´t do the crash testes and the complete homologation, how can it posible to sale the car if it haven´t hologated it? It would be nice to explaining everything in a video, specifying all those first steps when it comes to building a Concept 1 from scratch, at the business as at the car building levels, and the most important advises and of course the approximate cost, if possible please. Waiting your answer. Best regards!

[@AnthonyGriz]

An inspiring story Mate, and congratulations on being able to get past all the naysayers, and create an incredible electric vehicle and technology company. My own journey with the system I am developing at hybridaire.com.au, has also been filled with plenty of rejections and naysayers for years as well. It's a slow and long road developing something by yourself, but it brings its own rewards. Keep up the amazing work, I'm looking forward to next weeks Mondays with Mate episode!

[@atanasdimitrov785]

Hey, Mate. I have two questions: 1. Do you use super capacitors in the Concept 2? 2. You mentioned you're producing the batteries in house- do you make the cells on your own and what type of Li ion are you using- Li Titanate, Li Co oxide, etc? Thanks a lot

[@valerian2805]

Hi Mate, I got a question for you. What do you think of wirelessly charging electric cars. Is there even and option for that to become a thing. Greetings from Osijek :)

[@Teklic97]

Hy Mate, can you tell us more about and where is disappeared Concept S "Evil twin"? There is too little information/videos/picture about him.
