Manufactured in the USA and available from 2025, this EV signifies luxury and innovation, balancing nature, minimalism, and aesthetics perfectly. ## **1. Retro Glamour with Modern Brawn: Olympian Model 01 Design** Welcome to the electric future with a twist of the 1930s. The Olympian Model 01 ditches sharp angles for flowing curves, combining teardrop tails, chrome highlights, and a military-grade carbon fiber and titanium shell. It’s more vintage Riviera cruise than Silicon Valley spaceship. - Length: 4,960 mm (195.3 in) - Width: 1,889 mm (74.4 in) - Height: 1,637 mm (64.4 in) - Wheelbase: 2,758 mm (108.6 in) - Drag Coefficient: ~0.29 Over 50 color combos and 20-inch alloy wheels complete the package. It’s a bold departure from the clean-sheet minimalism of Tesla’s Model 3 and a refreshing detour from BMW’s techno-futurism. ## **2. Electric Power with a Retro Punch** Underneath the pretty face, the Model 01 packs legitimate muscle: - Motor: 310 hp (228 kW) rear-mounted - Torque: 305 lb-ft (414 Nm) - 0–60 mph: 5.7 seconds - Top Speed: 155–160 mph (250–257 km/h) The 82 kWh lithium-ion battery promises a 305-mile EPA range. Real-world figures should land around 250–280 miles, competitive with Audi’s e-tron and trailing Tesla’s Model 3 Long Range by a hair. - Battery: 82 kWh (400V) - DC Fast Charging: 150 kW (10–80% in ~30 min) - AC Charging: 11 kW (7–8 hours full) And yes, it speaks Tesla’s language—NACS plug included. Supercharger network? No problem. ## **3. Screen-Free Sanctuary: The Model 01’s Interior** Step inside and forget every massive touchscreen you’ve seen. The Olympian Model 01 goes old school, trading glass slabs for exotic woods, silk, cashmere, and brushed steel. - Seating: 4-passenger layout - HUD: AR-enabled (Augmented Reality) - Voice Controls: Olympian Operating System (OOS) No central display. No buttons cluttering your sightlines. Instead, you talk to your car and it listens (hopefully). It’s a tactile return to craftsmanship, not gadgetry. Compared to the Tesla Model 3’s touchscreen palace and the Q6 e-tron’s panoramic panels, the Model 01 feels almost monastic—but in a good way. ## **4. Cutting Through the Hype: Tech and Practicality** Here’s where things get spicy. Olympian promises a privacy-first operating system, free from app store surveillance. Instead, the AR HUD displays critical info while OOS handles your commands. - Infotainment: Voice-first (no screen) - Navigation, Media, Climate: Voice-controlled - Connectivity: NACS compatibility, OTA updates rumored ADAS features like adaptive cruise or emergency braking? Unknown. That’s a red flag when rivals like the Audi e-tron and BMW i4 are practically driving themselves. ## **5. On the Road: Real-World Usability** The Model 01’s 305-mile range makes it ideal for city slickers and weekend adventurers alike. Its 4.96-meter length is manageable for urban life, while NACS access ensures painless long-distance travel. - Daily Range: 250–280 miles (real-world) - Charging Network: Tesla Superchargers (NACS plug) - Comfort: Focused on luxury and noise isolation Families might struggle with the four-seat limit, and cargo space (400–500 liters estimated) won’t replace your crossover. But if you value experience over spreadsheets, you’ll feel right at home. ## **6. How It Stacks Against Rivals** In a world of Tesla tech, Audi luxury, and BMW driving precision, where does Olympian land? - Tesla Model 3 Long Range: 341 miles EPA, $55,000, faster but less luxurious - Audi e-tron: 226 miles EPA, $66,000, tech-heavy, shorter range - BMW i4 eDrive40: 301 miles EPA, $85,000, more power, screen-rich interior Meanwhile, compared to the SUVs like Audi Q6 e-tron or Nio EL8? Different planet. The Olympian Model 01 is carving a niche for buyers who think Tesla’s future looks a little too much like a Best Buy showroom. ## **7. The Math: Pricing and Ownership** Olympian sets the Model 01’s sticker at $80,000. That's a chunk above the Model 3 but still competitive with high-end BMW and Audi sedans. - Price: $80,000 USD - Deposit: $500 refundable (US, Canada, China) - Production: 320 units (2025 goal) Cost of ownership? Expect minimal maintenance, $0.03–$0.05/mile energy costs, and low running costs—if they can deliver reliability. But limited production, unclear warranties, and lack of resale history are real concerns for cautious buyers. ## **8. Final Word: Charm Over Tech Overload** The Olympian Model 01 isn’t here to dominate EV sales charts. It’s a handcrafted counterpoint to the increasingly screen-addled EV market. Retro elegance, premium materials, and voice-first control carve it a unique spot among luxury sedans. If Olympian Motors can turn promises into production reality, this could be the thinking driver’s alternative to Tesla’s Model 3 and BMW’s i4. If they stumble? Well, at least they’ll have gone down swinging—with style. - Best For: Entrepreneurs, creatives, design-first buyers - Not For: Tech addicts, large families, ADAS seekers One thing’s for sure: in a parking lot full of anonymous electric crossovers, the Olympian Model 01 will be the one everyone stares at—and maybe even whispers about. --- **People In This Video** No users are tagged in this video **Tags**- [\#EVs](/community/videos/hashtag/evs) - [\#EV](/community/videos/hashtag/ev) - [\#ElectricVehicle](/community/videos/hashtag/electricvehicle) - [\#ElectricVehicles](/community/videos/hashtag/electricvehicles) - [\#MOTORWATT](/community/videos/hashtag/motorwatt) - [\#EVdatabase](/community/videos/hashtag/evdatabase) No tags available yet --- [ Previous Audi Q6 e-tron Video Review ](/community/videos/audi-q6-e-tron-video-review) [ Next Nio EL8 Video Review ](/community/videos/nio-el8-video-review) --- - [ Share](javascript:void(0);) - [Embed](javascript:void(0);) 0 0 0 0 0 0 (javascript:void(0);) Comments (0) ## Other Videos N/A [$41,400 Humanoid Robot from Chery Now Available for Online Purchase in China](/community/community-groups/humanoids-of-the-future-humanoid-robots/videos/41-400-humanoid-robot-from-chery-now-available-for-online-purchase-in-china?from=listing) 1.
