You're In Business

Olympian Motors is a legitimate Y Combinator-backed (W22) electric vehicle company developing retro-styled modular EVs (Model O1, Model 84). While the project has verifiable existence, media coverage, and approximately 500-800 pre-orders (representing a potential revenue backlog), the submission itself contains significant inaccuracies. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is objectively false, as the company is in the prototype/pre-production phase with no significant customer deliveries. The financial claim of '17000000' appears to be a valuation or backlog figure rather than monthly revenue. The project scores positively for its tangible prototypes and design innovation but is heavily penalized for delusional reach claims and poor submission quality.

We are reinventing the car manufacturing and bringing agility, speed and cost-efficiency back to the U.S. automotive industry. Olympian engineered a new modular vehicle + modular manufacturing model. We target 80% reduction in tooling and labor expenses and ~60% faster production lead time. We challenge the status-quo in automotive. Olympian rejects today's standardized and banal car experience. We prioritize aesthetic, nature and minimalism. We use steel and wood in Olympian cars, not cheap plastic and toxic chemicals. We developed a minimalistic and intuitive cockpit UX, powered by Operating System (OOS) Olympian Motors developed a disruptive manufacturing model. We minimized tooling, fitment and labor costs. We radically shortened design-to-production period from 4+ years to 8 months and built ~50% faster production lead time. We will change the manufacturing inertia and disrupt the monopolies of the American automotive industry.
