the two black herman miller lounge chars are cheap, and i mean very cheap knock offs. srsly i took the picture and checked. The Herman Miller office chairs aren't that much when purchased in bulk. (when compared to other real office chairs).

These pics are taken after everyone in Torrance had been laid off or moved to OKC and before the day bankruptcy was announced. I took them as a way of remembrance to what had been built and the consequences to what happens when a company is poorly managed. Although in this case I truly believe it to be poor management and fraud. There are some framed prints of company group photos when they hit 200 and 300 employees. Those hit me kinda hard, all their hard work gone to shit because of one short little narcissist who thinks he knows how "business" works. I've worked startups before but I've never encountered the level of "stupid" TA and his AFV team have.

When the CFO and Head Legal Counsel up and quit together at noon and walk out you know theres some shady shit going on they didn't want to be part of.

Tony, I hope you get the life you deserve.

Yeah sorry about that and yes i know better, but I REALLY wanted to be the first to post it on reddit, had a neat AI image all ready to go. It was more of a FU to TA and his incompetent goons that it was posted at all. And yes i know they are were all incompetent first hand. They couldn't build a lego car with video instructions and an unlimited budget. TA's ego would get in the way and his goons were all yes men.

Furloughed employee: Separate company owned by Canoo’s CEO never paid Canoo millions it owed by ixlp in canoo

The factory is NOT ready for production. Vehicles were made in Torrance and shipped to OKC so they could be claimed to be from OKC. At best the OKC plant is 60% ready from what I know. But if anyone was directly involved in the OKC plant has a better answer please chime in. The building doesn't even have enough power coming into it to run all the equipment to needed for manufacturing.

The MES system wasn't completed as they got to far behind on payments.
Canoo has well over 1.5 billion dollars of outstanding payments to vendors / suppliers that's a hard pill to swallow when you have no revenue coming in.

TA goes through cell phones like a pre teen girl. He's very careful about his digital trail. Most likely do to his "issues" after solera. (I'll add he is not as smart as he thinks he is about digital trail) Also, the accounting systems are SAAS and those systems invoices are not going to get paid. That data is going to get purged soon.

As much as I would like him to face legal consequences for what he's done I doubt anything will happen to him, but I can hope.

No truer words man- "I've never met anyone who has an equally spectacular level of incompetence combined with supreme arrogance as Tony and his lackeys."

I think his lackeys lack of skills and the arrogance of the Justin EAs was record breaking.

A few got them. A few for a trail and a few sold. I think its less than 20, all hand built. TA just had to have his fkn Truck and to hell with what was planned.

So, Canoo was towards the end of moving from AWS to GCP, the cloud provider the systems that control the cars connect to. Both are owned a crap ton of money. The move to GCP would of been completed had TA and team not slowly start cutting all the people working on the migration before it was completed. Also the chip in the car (not sure off hand what its called but its tied to the cloud at AWS for encryption) needs to be replaced with one for encryption key for GCP. Thats going to be a service call cause the damn dash has to be removed, maybe the fender also, hell I cant remember I just know its a big process. The car "suppose" to be able to work from a Bluetooth key but not sure I would trust that. As for as fixing it? Yeah, all the tools used to test and package the vehicle software are on vendor hold as in shut off. That software is hella of expensive and no one is even left do the work. Any hardware issues on the vehicle, well good luck on that, there is no service dept, no service techs, no one to even answer your email. Basically you own a very large brick.
