Things keep changing at EVDirect to the extent that one has to wonder whether enough planning went into the whole thing prior to the release of the ATTO 3 back in February. And one will probably never know given the lack of information shared to date by the company. Who ever looks after PR in the company has not made much of an effort to make the behind-the-scene goings-on public. The whole process has tended to create an environment in which clients/customers can have a whole lot of confidence in the company, regardless of its name.
While they have released several of the following type of messages, those of us who deposited $1000 back in February still don’t know when our cars will be delivered.While this is not too much of a hardship for us, it is just an inconvenience, For those who have arranged their business around the promise of vehicle delivery in June/July, for example a financing program arranged that date, things become a little more inconvenient.
So here is the press release sent out on the eighteenth of August, 2022. While it was probably good to know about the change in business name, it was not what most on the mailing list would have appreciated hearing most.
