Totally agree. It’s a bump in the road, not the end of it. This could even be an opportunity for new players to step in.

I’m still hopeful someone will pick up their tech. Too good to go to waste!

Maybe we’re just fine with what we got.

Saietta’s ideas were cool, but not all innovations make it big, sadly.

The technology is still sound and promising.

Advances in electric vehicle technology can’t go unnoticed.

maybe it’s all about timing? Like, were they too early in the market when folks weren’t ready to switch to EVs?

Haha, just kidding. But seriously, seeing Saietta go under is a wake-up call for the EV industry. Let’s hope someone saves the day.

Guess the challenge was scaling up to meet global demand. It’s a common issue in the EV world.
