Imagine having a $2.4 million electric hypercar that makes people's heads turn at an event, but you can't show them the vehicle's butterfly doors because they won't open. One Rimac Nevera owner faced a similar issue, which appeared to be resolved after he called the company's CEO, Mate Rimac, over the phone.A video posted on Instagram shows the owner of a black-and-red Rimac Nevera struggling to open its door. He made several attempts to get the left-side door open and even tried using the key fob, but nothing seemed to work. Meanwhile, two people standing nearby pointed toward the owner as he tried different ways to unlock the Nevera, watching the unusual situation unfold.Initially shared by The Supercar Blog, the video eventually shows the door opening, with on-screen text claiming that the owner called CEO Mate Rimac directly, who helped resolve the issue. The owner then gets inside the hypercar, and both doors eventually close. However, the exact cause of the problem remains unclear, and there is no confirmation that the owner actually contacted Mate Rimac to resolve it.AdvertisementAdvertisementBeyond the door incident, Mate Rimac recently opened up about the automotive market, as the industry navigates the shift toward EVs and rising fuel prices, which are pushing more consumers to consider alternatives. Rimac compared the evolving market to the luxury watch industry, suggesting that wealthy buyers may increasingly favor the mechanical driving experience of internal combustion engines, while the masses transition to EVs.Motorbiscuit reported that with several automakers shifting toward producing low-cost EVs in a bid to compete with Chinese manufacturers, Rimac suggested that luxury auto manufacturers will continue to make internal combustion engines. That could be true, considering that Porsche and Lamborghini have continued to focus on gas-powered engines and hybrids. He said:"For normal cars, normal people, the vast majority will be electric. The upper segment, like sports cars and upwards, are going to stay combustion for a very long time, exactly like watches. Only like 5% of watches are made in Switzerland, but that's where 90% of profits are made. An Apple Watch or any kind of smart watch can do so many more things. But no one will pay $200,000 for it."Rimac is witnessing this firsthand, as Bugatti builds its 16-cylinder internal-combustion engines alongside Rimac's electric cars, such as the Nevera R, which produces more than 2,000 hp. He said:AdvertisementAdvertisement"It's kind of ironic that I'm now making the world's biggest combustion engine. You have the crazy situation now at our facility in Croatia. On the same production line, you have the world's most powerful electric car being built right next to the world's biggest combustion engine. Life is strange sometimes."
