Olympian Motors is a new, disruptive automaker creating a new "experience-first" automotive segment. We're building the most aesthetic & minimalistic EVs of the 21st century, prioritizing aesthetics over horsepower, UX over torque and quality over quantity.
@arttuhaho Thank you, Arttu. It's time for people to drive beautiful and exquisite cars, not just gray-rectangular-boxes that the legacy automakers push to customers for decades
Hi Product Hunt people!
I'm the co-founder and CEO of Olympian Motors.
Our dream is to build most aesthetic & minimalistic Electric Vehicles of the 21st century.
We will create a new ‘experience-first’ consumer segment in the automotive industry
Olympian has the first fully ‘fabless’ production model in the U.S.
• No CAPEX, no in-house factory, no front R&D requirement
• We leverage a 'fabless' production model and modular platform architecture.
• An asset-light operation, unlike other staggering EV companies in the U.S.
• Rapid GTM period (<8 months). 300% faster product-dev cycle than the U.S. average
Current Status:
• We are currently building prototypes for Olympian O1 (Sedan) and Model K1 (SUV)
• The first Olympian O1 shipment is scheduled for November, 2022
• Our team is ready to surprise legacy automakers and monopolies
We would love to get your support on this challenging and ambitious journey.
Thank you,
Eren

Has the vehicle been approved by U.S. regulators? If not, why is it being advertised as street-legal? And what process will be used to crash-test the vehicle to bolster the "safety and security" claims?
@jordankrueger Yes, Olympian O1 is fully street-legal in the U.S. as we are planning the first commercial shipment by November 2022. Please feel free to reach out for further details.
Roughly 8 months before shipping the first car, and there is not a single photo of the actual car 🤔 Highly doubtful about the timeline here... Interesting concept though.
@alexaubert That's the core advantage of Olympian's fabless model. Not only you. but all legacy automakers and monopolies will be surprised very soon.
Please reach out for if you're interested in an invitation to the first Olympian O1 reveal event in June.
Hi PH Community,
We’re thrilled to share Olympian Motors with you today.
Eren and I decided to pursue Olympian Motors after realizing there is a certain demand in the market for new car experiences and alternative designs.
Tesla is not cool enough anymore. There are no eye-catching alternatives either – only mere copies of Tesla, or other ‘futuristic’ cars that have been pushed by legacy automakers.

• To date, we booked 132 pre-orders for Olympian Model O1, our flagship vehicle
• We will ship the first Olympian O1 vehicles in November 2022.
• It took 14 years for Lucid and 12+ years for Rivian to make their first commercial shipments.

Our goal is to solve today’s commoditized car experience, elevate low quality/comfort standards, simplify over-complicated cockpit / UX, and create a new ‘experience-first’ consumer segment in automotive.
---
We prioritize:
• Aesthetics over horsepower
• User experience over torque
• Personalization over commoditization
• Silence over noise
• Data privacy over data exchange
• Minimalism over complication
• Simplicity over 30+ buttons switches in the cockpit
• AR HUD over 2D Display screens
• Wood & steel over cheap industrial plastic or veneer
• Sustainable & natural materials over toxic chemicals
---
We have a radically minimalistic cockpit experience
• Powered by the Olympian Operating System (OOS)
• Enabled by augmented reality HUD, voice-assistant, head/eye tracking applications
• No 2D display screens (We already have too many in our lives – cell phones, tablets, laptops)
• Eliminated 80% of redundant buttons, switches, and panels in the cockpit
---
We have a high-caliber and technical founding team: Hardware/software engineers, product managers, and supply-chain specialists from Apple, Qualcomm, Cisco, Google, Tesla, NIO, Ford, and Lamborghini

We are creating the next big story in automotive. Your support will be appreciated!
@jasmine_sungu@rrhoover Hi Ryan, isn't it time to change to a better alternative? We would love to invite you to the first Olympian O1 reveal event in June. I'm confident that you will change your mind!
@jasmine_sungu@rrhoover IMHO they're appealing to a very different segment than Tesla owners, who want the horsepower, like the optionality that comes with complexity. I think they can peacefully co-exist, depending on price point and safety rating.

@jasmine_sungu@eren_canarslan - Congrats on the launch! I love the styling and philosophy behind what you are doing.
I've been looking hard at the EV options, trying to figure out what to get when my Telsa lease runs out this summer - and there just aren't that many other options to begin with, and none really stack up - so seeing what you are doing is very exciting.
Sincere question - It seems a little early to promote a ship date 8 months from now when you are still working on a prototype ( I'd be nervous about that with a complex software project, let alone an EV). Can you provide some background on how you came up with that?
Best of luck with everything!

I love the car's 1940s aesthetic, and the general vision. I hope it's not a tell that the website is built with GoDaddy website builder.
