DeLorean Labs

[ssdelorean]

I received a message from a friend and surprised no one here has posted yet about DeLorean Labs (https://deloreanlabs.com/) and the YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gfg5g3LCnLw) with Doc.
More NFTs and electric delorean stuff from DMCH non-classic company.

[Michael]

People should be jumping all over that especially with all the transparency and good vibes Electric DeLoreans and NFT's have brought us so far.

All designed not just for DeLorean but widespread adoption throughout the sector.

This will provide buyers with future insights into the history and performance of each vehicle with greater accuracy than any traditional platform.

Who knows what paradigm-shifting advancements await, and as Doc Brown might say, "If you're going to build a time machine into a car, why not make it a DeLorean...

Sounds like something AI generated. A lot of words but not a lot of meaning. A "Word Salad".

Just saw this article on gagadget.com (https://gagadget.com/en/518275-delorean-hired-christopher-lloyd-for-a-time-capsule-promo-video-why-this-news-is-only-of-interest-to-the-cryptocurrency-world/).

We must not have learned yet..... Marketing like this is just a PR Stunt. You know Lloyd made a healthy paycheck for that... Wonder what the end theory is here? I dare not call whatever it is an end-goal because goals are usually met.

[TheStoot]

So glad to hear that they're going to take a "holistic" approach to customer service...just like lying kamala Harris has promised!

[Michael]

The more I see stuff like this the more pissed I get. This group of hyenas have done NOTHING but scam their would be customers of their money and betrayed their trust and now they spit in their face with some utter nonsense any 12yr old kid could make with his 3D printer.

This is nothing more than misdirection. Use this f#@king toy as a gimmick to promote something that doesn't work...(block chain to buy and sell your production slot is it?), for a car that you will NEVER RECEIVE!

I can barely fathom the concept. Forget the car, It's like the finished product is the production slot.

DeLorean Reimagined is subleting half an office space to have an address that gives the illusion they are legit. They disconnected their phones, nobody can reach them, but yet their website still allows you to send them more money with the only thing you get in return is empty promises. I think this sad tale is on it's final chapter and I will take great delight in seeing these con artists face the music (if it ever plays).

[Timeless]

Well said Michael .....

[Mark D]

I remember the good ol' days when DMCH's empty promises were for simple things... like Pontiac Solstice-DeLoreans, new binnacles, and lower ball joints that actually worked. Back then, common, everyday folks could get their hopes and dreams raised and then crushed unapologetically by the guys in Texas. Simpler and easier to understand times they were.

These days, old fashioned legacy DeLorean owners like myself are feeling left out in the cold as DMCH has moved on to empty-promising a newer, younger, hipper generation of tech savvy crypto-bros. It's hard for me to get my hopes up even a little bit these days since I don't have an online degree in marketing or computer science to understand what is even being promised. How are you supposed to disappoint me effectively if I don't know what it is that I'm not going to receive?

Does baiting and switching the community of classic DeLorean owners no longer mean anything to you?? What happened to the times when you'd promise a quality part, like a new dashboard, only to deliver injection molded plastic shite? Are those days gone forever? WTF is a block chain NFT? I'm not bussin' on this new rizz, fam. No cap.

We still have automotive hopes and dreams too, and they deserve to be trampled upon just as much, if not more than these new guys. We have been hoodwinked by you through thick and thin with the Stage III, failed EV prototypes, the Low Volume Motor Vehicle Manufacturer's Act of 2015, and the DeLorean GTO. Yet now you refuse to pander to our demographic any longer. What happened to us?

In fact, I hear there are some new left front fenders becoming available in November. Well, they better be terrible because I'm starting to think you don't not-care about our relationship anymore.

[DaraSue]

If these guys could figure out a way to produce a car that looks like a DeLorean but performs like a Vette and/or runs like a Civic they could write their own ticket but I guess selling the same batch of NFTs to a new crop of suckers is the easier money. [rolleyes so big God can't lift it]

[BLWNAWY]

The title of this thread made me think of my beloved Lab, Sammy. She loved to go for a ride and would jump in our other car as soon as the hatchback was opened. One day I backed the DeLorean into the driveway and opened the louver and engine cover to check something. Before I could stop her Sam took a leap and was standing on the hot engine. I quickly scooped her up and got her off of it. Now THAT was a DeLorean Lab!

Still lurking...

DeLorean Labs and Shiba Inu Team Up for Exclusive NFT-Chipped Action Figure Giveaway



DeLorean Labs, in a move that?s revving up excitement in both the automotive and crypto communities, has announced a unique collaboration with the Shiba Inu crypto project.

Two iconic brands collide in an unexpected giveaway. DeLorean and Shiba Inu are offering fans the chance to win exclusive action figure sets, hinting at a deeper collaboration.

The initiative will see the release of 388 rare, custom-designed SHIB X DeLorean action figure sets, exclusively available as part of the DeLorean Time Capsule NFT prize pool. This exciting initiative is made possible through a partnership with ShibaCals, a platform revolutionizing the connection between physical merchandise and digital assets.

?Icons stick together!? proclaimed DeLorean Labs on X, announcing the giveaway and highlighting their friendship with the iconic Shiba Inu community. These aren?t just any action figures; each set will be embedded with an NFC chip, courtesy of ShibaCals, linking the physical collectible to unique on-chain attributes and providing verifiable authenticity.

ShibaCals, a Shiba Inu-driven platform, specializes in transforming digital assets, particularly NFTs, into tangible merchandise. Their innovative use of NFC technology allows users to bridge the gap between the physical and digital worlds, authenticating products and connecting them to online experiences, websites, or even the Metaverse. This collaboration with DeLorean Labs showcases the potential of ShibaCals to elevate the value and utility of NFTs.

The giveaway coincides with the final mint window for DeLorean Labs? highly anticipated Time Capsule NFTs, adding significant value and excitement for collectors. The inclusion of these exclusive, NFC-chipped action figures, powered by ShibaCals, is expected to drive substantial interest and further solidify the Time Capsule?s position as a unique and innovative initiative.

?We want to celebrate our friendship with the iconic Shib,? DeLorean Labs said, emphasizing the strategic partnership with the popular meme coin and its passionate community. By leveraging ShibaCals? technology, DeLorean Labs, beyond offering a unique collectible, is also demonstrating the growing potential of integrating physical merchandise with blockchain technology.

The DeLorean Labs announcement sent ripples of excitement through the Shiba Inu community, with tech wizard Kaal Dhairya leading the charge. On X, he playfully quipped that winning a DeLorean would be his ticket to a time-traveling investment spree, ensuring a ?future secured? with more SHIB. And of course, he?s already picturing those SHIB X DeLorean action figures adorning his dashboard!

DeLorean Labs also hinted at future collaborations and ?more special Treats? to ?be unleashed to our amazing communities!?

I've read all the FAQs and other info (https://deloreanlabs.com/), and it is just a word salad in my head. Maybe I'm too old? Yeah, Get off my lawn!

You give me money. I give you some bits in my database.

Maybe you can sell these bits for more later if you find someone with a higher chump factor.

Maybe you lose your money because it turns out you were the biggest chump.

Not all that long ago, but before cuneiform was all the rage, our species came up with the idea of a ledger economy. This would eventually provide inspiration for the fiat based economies we enjoy today but duplicative manufacturing or even writing something down wasn't quite yet in vogue. With the ledger model, everyone gathered around a large rock, or similarly permanent object, and made marks on it to record who owned what. When transactions were made, stakeholders involved and their witnesses gathered and made new marks to illustrate the adjustments. Everyone in the tribe referenced the ledger to know who owned what whenever that information was needed. None of the marks had any intrinsic value and any value derived was solely from everyone in the tribe acquiescing to the rules.


Outside of subbing in a math equation for a smaller rock scratching a bigger one with an audience, block chain sequencing does not do much outside of its original implementation. Participants all hold a local copy, which is new, but without being able to communicate with the reference server (agreed ledger) and authenticate it isn't actually a transaction that updates the chain of marks on the ledger.

So no new DeLorean then?

Tons of Cybertrucks around my area and the local dealer has a boat load of stock. Tesla is now accepting CT trade-ins + there are many on the used market.

[DaraSue]

It's nice to see they've learned from their past mistakes... and disabled comments :rofl:

So the point of spending however many millions Patrick Stewart charged was to announce... a newer, better platform for their "customers" to trade pictures of cars that will never be produced? Cool :rolleyes1:

Atleast they used a real DeLorean in the commercial

All this talk about buying a reservation for a car...little do the buyers realize the reservation IS the final product. In 10 years, you will STILL have a reservation and nothing else.

Yo dawg, I heard you like reservations, so I reserved your reservation so you can be reserved while you reserve.
