Funnily enough, he did a very detailed build log of his "lambo".
Anyways, I can't help but wonder exactly what he is expecting to accomplish in a couple days time considering he was supposedly planning on unveiling it last year.

I think that's a pretty competitive & somewhat deadly market to break into for your first go-around. With supercars, it's easy to outsource the performance; a twin-turbo LS Block tuned to push 1,200-1,500Hp seems to be popular & doesn't break the bank for a new company. After that, you can market the car as a performance hyper car to distract from however you choose to do the interior or ride comfort.
Luxury sedans though, don't give you the same leeway. Depending on what price you're after, the fit & finish has to match. Cheap V8s won't pass the satisfactory level for the people who buy these cars, so you have to source something that's going to run the development bill a bit/lot more. Then, you'll have to test it & make sure it runs like a luxury car whilst the supercar marques will just shoot for performance numbers. Consider the amount of competition you then have to face; Jaguar, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Lexus, Maserati, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Cadillac, etc. Even Hyundai's Equus is out there. A very broad market that's already been taken over, & I don't think many people have the ingenuity of Elon Musk. The only way I could see someone succeeding is either go all out & try to top Rolls-Royce/Maybach, or undercut Hyundai/Cadillac. That's a tall order both ways to make profitable.

Except those actually look better done, even if they don't work.

And they had millions of dollars to fund their development, and were built by professionals.

Well, I guess that leaves all of us doubters with egg on our faces.
Also, I've never noticed it before, but unless the seat position is higher up, visibility must suck.
Edit: Say what you will about Youabian, but at least when that monstrosity was unveiled it was at least a finished product and has since been driven on public roads.

I'm just looking at it again and it literally looks like as if it came from the container store
Cut the top off and stick a mattress on it!
And those wheels... They honestly look so aftermarket and... er, generic.
