V-Vehicles, founded by former Oracle executive and funded in part by T. Boone Pickens, will build cars at former headlight plant bringing jobs to small Louisiana town.



NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- A largely unknown car company is planning to open its first factory in what used be a headlight plant in a small town in northern Louisiana, state officials announced on Wednesday.



Louisiana economic development officials are enthusiastic about the endeavor which they say will create thousands of jobs. But for now, executives with California-based V-Vehicles, which has backing from activist billionaire T. Boone Pickens and the venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, are not saying exactly what type of vehicle the company plans to build.



Pickens has been active in promoting natural gas for use in automobiles, but it isn't clear what form of energy will fuel these cars.

 

lol



very convincing, get your orders in now





On a more realistic note, VW is building a ground up factory in Tennessee.





An actual factory. that will produce cars. real cars.

 

when they start selling cars then come talk to me

 

LOL they don't need to sell cars to be a startup, I was told that it was impossible there to be a new player in the auto game.



Anyhow, GM was part of the discussion and they didn't have to sell cars to be able to be a contender LOL

 

gloat if they sell more cars than Delorean.





They're not in the auto game, they're in the IPO game, same bullshit that fucked the economy of the whole world.





It's not a coincidence they chose Louisiana. There is no more politically correct or sympathetic location to scam government and idiot investors than to claim you're going to bring jobs to hurricane survivors.

 

they have not even stated what kind of car they will build, but you are calling them a car company?



ok- how about when they actually build a single car come talk to me, lol



**** it- tomoroww I am starting to build boats, I dont know what kind, how long they will be, what will power them, but **** it im starting up the company in a vacant shop across town.

 

you can't build boats, you actually know how boats are built.





make TVs

 

yea thats one of the most persuasive arguments i've ever had posed against me.

 

I wish to buy one of these cars, where do I sign?



I suppose I could start building televisions in my office at night, I think I will build 250" televisions that will also bake a cake for you!

 

I have a feeling that T. Boone may be a little better funded than John Z. was. He may not have to sell drugs to make cars.
