Designer of lightyear one?[edit]

There seems to be a company account and anonymous user changing the designer. To my best knowledge the one responsible for the design is C. Klok (former student of delft university of technology), see also pal-v. I spoke with him in Katwijk. The company indeed made use of GranStudio Turin. The designer should mention an individual, not a company. Martenhamm (talk) 20:22, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have not found a reference for an individual, but I see no problem for the design company to be included in the infobox, so I have updated that [1] Warren (talk) 12:04, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Renamed from Lightyear One to Lightyear 0[edit]

According to this source the vehicle has been renamed to Lightyear 0. (That's a zero, not an "o"). --SVTCobra 20:52, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sound good to me. Here's the company's version of the renaming - although it's almost all PR spin. https://lightyear.one/articles/bound-by-nature-discover-the-story-behind-our-new-company-logo-and-the-naming-of-lightyear-0 Stepho talk 00:07, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"with the first cars reaching their drivers in November."

Well? Anyone know what's up? cernese (talk) 17:54, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The same sentence mentioned "fall" and I had to work out in my head that the northern hemisphere "fall" is my spring, which is Sept-Nov and that "fall" is an American expression and Lightyear is not American, so already I'm a bit annoyed given that they could have just mentioned a month. Besides that, it's a straight forward prediction that deliveries will begin in November. But they didn't specify early November or late November and car manufacturer's predictions are so often wrong and plans often change. So, we do the wait-and-see game for a bit longer.

Lightyear O[edit]

Lightyear O / lightyear o should redirect here, both as a simple mistyping where "o" and "0" are right next to each other on a QWERTY keyboard, and as a typographic mistake due to the similarity of O with 0 -- 67.70.25.80 (talk) 04:21, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done I have just created both of them. Stepho talk 10:05, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lightyear Two[edit]

So, there is now a stub of a draft up; see Draft:Lightyear 2 -- 67.70.25.80 (talk) 04:57, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
