    Huh… how can anyone complain about how the DeLorean was used in Back to the Future? That movie gave that car and its name a mystique it would not have gotten otherwise.

    Well done video

    Really would have preferred a slightly updated version of the delorean we all know and love not this kinda generic look car

    This car will never come out!

    Come on!! How do you do a piece about a DeLorean EV and never talk about it????

    What if Back to the Future had used a different car? I bet 90% of people never would have heard of the DeLorean. And this ev will be crazy expensive and you’ll be lucky to ever see 1

      What if the transistor wasn’t invented with the right inside or the lightbulb without a little vacuum, The Unexpected hits when people’s actions accumulate to it at the right time. and luck has it to be the Delorean cause someone built it for the love of cars.

    So what about the EV version??? Not a word about it!

    Where’s the seconds half of the video, where you tell us about the new DeLorean?

    We knew most of that from the 80s, what a big the NEW ONE this was supposed to be about?!

    Sorry! DeLorean,i can’t fall for your new EV DeLorean design! I kinda prefer Hyundai N74 concept!

    Surely the author of this video realises this is vapourware. There’s a dime a dozen of these start up EVs. How many have made this to delivery? This video won’t age well. Big deal? Nonsense.

    lol What are you talking about? They’re not gonna build this thing. It’s vaporware.

    I kept waiting for actual info about the NEW DeLorean EV… you know, like the title suggested 😐

    Watched the whole video and DOESN’T SHOW THE NEW DELOREAN. Click bait

    Are they still doing that stupid NFT thing with the new one? ‘Cause yuck.

    Is it just me/did I just miss it or was it not mentioned in the video why the EV DeLorean is big news? 🤔
    I think I was just click-baited.

    I knew this would be spineless, disgusting con in the form of clickbait. F U CNET!

    It would have been a big deal if it could really do time travel and ensure you’re never late to your meetings 😗

  30. McLovers

    July 31, 2022 at 5:27 am

    Why is it a big deal now though, you didn’t really explain from what I saw in the video.

  31. EpicConspiracy

    July 31, 2022 at 7:33 am

    This car will be mass produced at the same rate Australians will buy Cybertrucks

    This video literally has nothing to do with the Delorean EV

  34. Francisco Rosero

    July 31, 2022 at 11:04 am

    Looks more like the Thunderhawk from the 80s MASK than a Delorian.

    Wtf is ‘nitch’? It’s ‘niche’ pronounced ‘neesh’ and it’s French, show language at least some respect.

    I’ve heard of the Vega and Pinto. Actually saw both in real life. Man I’m old.😂

    Not good built quality. Are you still talking about the DeLorean or did you change the subject to Tesla.😂

    The DeLorean DMC-12 shares design DNA with the Lotus Esprit, which is plain to see once you realize it.
    Both are beautiful vehicles nonetheless…
    😍😍😍

This Electric Unicycle is Technically a Bi-cycle?

We tried out the InMotion E20 self-balancing vehicle. You could call it a unicycle but it’s actually a 2-in-1. Would you try this? #electric #ev #unicycle #InMotion #electricscooter
