Olympian Motors (YC W22) - Creating electric James-Bond vehicles

Hi PH Community, We’re thrilled to share Olympian Motors with you today. Eren and I decided to pursue Olympian Motors after realizing there is a certain demand in the market for new car experiences and alternative designs. Tesla is not cool enough anymore. There are no eye-catching alternatives either – only mere copies of Tesla, or other ‘futuristic’ cars that have been pushed by legacy automakers. --- • To date, we booked 132 pre-orders for Olympian Model O1, our flagship vehicle • We will ship the first Olympian O1 vehicles in November 2022. • It took 14 years for Lucid and 12+ years for Rivian to make their first commercial shipments. --- Our goal is to solve today’s commoditized car experience, elevate low quality/comfort standards, simplify over-complicated cockpit / UX, and create a new ‘experience-first’ consumer segment in automotive. --- We prioritize: • Aesthetics over horsepower • User experience over torque • Personalization over commoditization • Silence over noise • Data privacy over data exchange • Minimalism over complication • Simplicity over 30+ buttons switches in the cockpit • AR HUD over 2D Display screens • Wood & steel over cheap industrial plastic or veneer • Sustainable & natural materials over toxic chemicals --- We have a radically minimalistic cockpit experience • Powered by the Olympian Operating System (OOS) • Enabled by augmented reality HUD, voice-assistant, head/eye tracking applications • No 2D display screens (We already have too many in our lives – cell phones, tablets, laptops) • Eliminated 80% of redundant buttons, switches, and panels in the cockpit --- We have a high-caliber and technical founding team: Hardware/software engineers, product managers, and supply-chain specialists from Apple, Qualcomm, Cisco, Google, Tesla, NIO, Ford, and Lamborghini --- You can pre-order Olympian Model O1. Use "OLYMPIAN30" for 30% off. https://olympianmotors.com/ --- We are creating the next big story in automotive. Your support will be appreciated!

Not a single picture from the interior? I'd love to see the "Natural and minimalistic cockpit".

>"prioritizing aesthetics over horsepower, user experience over torque, and simplicity." seems to contradict with >"swapping out tons of button and switches for an augmented reality HUD (heads up display) with voice-assistant and head/eye-tracking applications." I want a car that doesn't have a HUD, but has analog buttons. That doesn't have a voice-assistant, and that doesn't have eye-tracking.

Roughly 8 months before shipping the first car, and there is not a single photo of the actual car 🤔 Highly doubtful about the timeline here... Interesting concept though.

Wow! The design is really breathtaking! Keep up the work Jasmine and Eren. Now I want it!!😅

Hi Product Hunt people! I'm the co-founder and CEO of Olympian Motors. Our dream is to build most aesthetic & minimalistic Electric Vehicles of the 21st century. We will create a new ‘experience-first’ consumer segment in the automotive industry Olympian has the first fully ‘fabless’ production model in the U.S. • No CAPEX, no in-house factory, no front R&D requirement • We leverage a 'fabless' production model and modular platform architecture. • An asset-light operation, unlike other staggering EV companies in the U.S. • Rapid GTM period (<8 months). 300% faster product-dev cycle than the U.S. average Current Status: • We are currently building prototypes for Olympian O1 (Sedan) and Model K1 (SUV) • The first Olympian O1 shipment is scheduled for November, 2022 • Our team is ready to surprise legacy automakers and monopolies We would love to get your support on this challenging and ambitious journey. Thank you, Eren

These are so awesome looking.

Love the look of these!

I don't drive, but I LOVE your designs. Great work. Super beautiful

Congrats on launching something different than typical product hunt launch! Looks really good! ?makers
