Gosh price of a 4 room flat in many regions. This thing is only for uber rich people which is maybe 1% of 100% of global population and i bet most of them will buy a sportscar like Porsche or Buggatti or Bentley and for electric option Tesla.

The HiPhi X - the first car from HH - has been on sale from last year and you can find plenty of video reviews on YT, some even in English. The HiPhi Z is a production car with sales starting next month. I agree - the tone of the presentation is a bit high but let it not distract us from the fact that this is quite an interesting car. Maybe not from 20 years in the future but still ahead of the rest of the field.

Those are renders, not photos. The concept of vaporware is as old as technology itself. When the car is photographed and reviewed and has actually been delivered to the first set of customers, that's when it switches from vaporware to concretely existing. History has a long track record of demonstrating that the most cogent approach is to take wild claims without any concrete basis with a grain of salt.

Incidentally, I should mention, there have been similar, wild claims for e.g. EV tractor trailers in recent years, with actual physical vehicles shown to live audiences. What was never shown, however, was that the vehicle was incapable of moving under its own power and had to be hauled into the studio. Showing a stationary mock-up is quite frankly the oldest trick in the book.

BTW I do enjoy those renders of what are presumably futuristic housing units. The architecture for those angles is highly inefficient and would likely receive failing grades in any architecture school. I think the unlivable barren wasteland with high atmospheric pollution depicted must be the Gobi desert in China. If so. the depiction is accurate -- nobody lives there.

And lastly, apropos "Human Horizons" -- a bit needlessly pompous, for a company that hasn't produced a single product, innit.
