Honestly so they can deliver amazon packages.
i dont think he has anything to do with the company, he just funded them hoping for a return. the broker people are, the more they need a cheap car with cheap operating costs. thats the gamble i suspect.
do you think the heaviest investor has some saying in the business decisions?
who am i to argue with a certified expert?

To the bigger focus of the post, not paying above $18k for the stripped down tin can. Many differences, but Mexico's go kart is targeting about $8k. Slate can do much better.
Mexico's "go kart" has a top speed of 31 mph and a range "up to" 62 miles ... at 31 mph. It's an electric UTV with a nicer passenger compartment.
They're not really comparable.
Haha you're coming dangerously close to admitting that capitalism works
