That's what I was going to say - Dyson for me is over engineered, over priced mediocre products. The UK Apple where brand matters more than product... Much rather have a Tesla!
I’ll reserve judgement until I see one and the associated pricing.

Dyson EV.... definitive proof that Electric Vehicles really are nothing but a gimmicky money-making exercise!!
There are some already. They're everything you expect and very little that you'd want.
Research wasn't even needed. Hospitals never used to have hand dryers because warm + wet = Bacteria growth. Paper towels are the equivalent of that cool, dry place you always keep your foods in... but nooooo: Hand dryers save money because you're not buying (recycleable) paper towels.... just paying the electric bill, but we won't mention that to the NHS's (expensive external consultant) bean counters, eh!!
I've RMA'd more Dyson vacuums than I care to count. Turns out Samsung make a better one, for a much better price!
Just FYI, it's not warm and wet that's the problem with normal hand driers. If you dry your hands properly with a hand dryer then they're just as good as paper towels as you dry them so fast there's no chance for bugs to grow. The people who don't use the driers properly are most likely the same people who don't use the towels properly and leave their hands damp and so the bugs will grow.
The problem with the Dyson driers is that the water pools in the device (where with a normal hand dryer the drips go on the floor) and the incredibly high velocity air sends the resulting bugs that grow in the moisture flying all over the place, seeding places with bugs that wouldn't normally be exposed. Basically like spraying an MRSA aerosol all over the person using the drier.
"not a cheap car" - well that doesn't sound good. The one thing holding back adoption of electric vehicles (one's that don't look weird - something Tesla realised was a problem) is expense. The company that can get a half decent electric car that is cheap to the masses wins..
The ICNSes at our Trust submitted papers showing that, while it was improper use of the dryers causing the problem, the towels were still more effective, partly from the lack of heat being added into the mix. But the dryers don't just heat your hands either, but the whole area around, which further increased the spread of germs... this combined with inadequate domestic services (again, another cost-saving exercise) led to things like widespread MRSA problems.
Plus, those using the dryers properly also use more electricity in doing so, so even not as cost-effective as imagined, anyway... and the rest of them just complained that "these things never get your hands dry enough".
To our credit, we've stopped using hand dryers here at work, especially in the areas where people clean sewage off themselves!
Innovation is always good. Even if the product isn't great the advancement of battery tech is a positive.
Throwing £2bn at a new product is bold. It's even bolder to expect £1bn to get a big advance in battery tech - samsung alone easily exceeds that every year
Go Dyson! Need some electric competition and British brand = quality. Tesla's feel a little tacky/cheap in my limited experience so far (BMW 3series and Jag IPace serious competition though!). Might need tesla's batteries though, they've done so well with gigafactory
