The Reality Check

What's Going Right:

First commercial deliveries completed in CA (Jul 2025)
Y Combinator backed (W22 batch)
NVIDIA partnership for AI-powered EV platform (Dec 2024)
Foxconn manufacturing partnership for Olympus Platform (May 2025)
Amazon AWS partnership for AI cockpit (Sep 2025)
Unique AR windshield HUD — no screens
Titanium and carbon fiber construction
CEO Eren Canarslan from Qualcomm/Ford, team from Tesla/NVIDIA/Apple
Test drives available in three cities
820+ orders booked, $68M revenue pipeline

Red Flags:

Very limited production so far (two batches in CA)
$70K price point limits the market significantly
Roofless design is impractical for many climates
Not really a truck — it's a luxury SUV (borderline fit for this tracker)
Still fundraising via Wefunder crowdfunding
Limited to NY and CA availability currently
Long-term viability at scale unproven

🔮 Bottom Line

Olympian is one of the more surprising entries on this tracker — a luxury electric SUV startup that has actually started delivering vehicles. The Y Combinator backing, NVIDIA and Foxconn partnerships, and completed customer deliveries in California give it more credibility than most EV startups at this stage.

That said, the Model 84 is a niche product: a $70K roofless titanium-and-carbon-fiber SUV with an AR windshield, limited to 310 units. It's not really a truck, and it's not affordable. But it's real, it's delivering, and the Olympus Platform with Foxconn could enable broader product lines (like the Model 42 van).

Our Recommendation: If you're in CA or NY and have $70K to spend on a head-turning luxury EV with a truly unique screen-free cockpit, Olympian is worth a test drive. For everyone else, this is more interesting as a company to watch than a vehicle to buy. The Foxconn partnership could make their platform play much more significant over time.
