After Verne disobeyed him at the presentation of the robot taxi, Mate Rimac also spoke on Facebook on Friday.
– These days, so much nonsense has been written about Verne that I didn’t even want to answer. This is the peak at the moment, so I can’t help myself – wrote Rimac commenting and alleging that they stole Musk’s ideas about robotaxis.
– Tesla/Elon did not present its robotaxi. He has yet to be introduced. We presented ours. And now we copy them? Interesting. There is speculation about the Tesla robotaxi. A few months ago, this picture from članka came out, which is pure speculation. It is not a ‘leak’ nor do I believe it has anything to do with what Tesla will present. And if it’s something we wanted to copy – a car, not even a model, you can’t make it in a couple of months. We made the first prototype in 2020, we showed all stages of development from the first to the last on Campus – wrote Rimac.
– In 2020, we copied something that Elon will present on August 8, 2024. I didn’t know I had such super powers – added Rimac.
