The article says Dyson (a vacuum manufacturer) was working on an electric vehicle until 2019. Did they give up too early?

No, they gave up too late! Instead of chasing trends out of their lane, they should have been working on the robot vacuum everyone wanted them to make. They only released their first robot vacuum this year[1] because they were side tracked making EVs and wireless headphones[2]

It was real estate and subsidies play (extracting money from Singapore).

I feel like Sinclair was ahead of the curve on this one.
