    My Elio Alternate Project Is Underway.

    So, it doesn't show the latest potholes then? No idea on the instruments at the moment, brain is full currently, regardless of how "empty" my wife says it is.

    Aptera SOL

    LOL, fur real! Yep, the Aptera is a down-town-city-boy car, born and bred! There are even a number of 'cross-over's that can't take too many 6" pot-holes.

    Aptera SOL

    No way those wheel covers would ever survive the roads up here, from loose crushed 1 1/2" stone roads to 6" deep potholes, they would have to be bobbed a fair amount (which wouldnt look so bad). Plus the usual dead deer and bear in the roads as obstacles, pieces of exploded tires, etc. Now...

    Regional Fuel Prices

    We are well into pothole, city street, and state highway road improvement and new construction season in my City. I will be driving through a maze of orange construction cones daily until late Fall. My State, County, and City leadership appear to be using the “infrastructure investment“ funding...

    ...repair infrastructure around here. Just a slush fund for the states. 3.5 Trillion in "infrastructure investment" hasnt brought any either. Potholes are worse than I ever remember, making cars swerve around the roads to avoid them and being severely damaged if they hit one. We have bridges...

    ...are on it. I suspect it could be slightly out of alignment... although I don't "feel" it being out of alignment. I do my best to miss potholes or avoid hitting curbs, etc. (My wife is not so much concerned with scarring rims on curbs and has a history to back up that claim.) Around here...

    Solo

    Thanks for the review. I was impressed by the FUV’s performance and handling on the early Beta test drive and improvements were made in the production model. It’s quick, stable (passed the moose test), similar driver comfort of my SUV, and just plain fun to drive. If or when it’s enclosed I’ll...

    Solo

    How long ago was your test drive in Portland? Because chances are you've test driven the one made in Canada. The ones assembled at their China assembly plant is the most updated version but EMV has not announced even a single unit sold out of their China plant. Thanks for posting your review of...

    Solo

    ...hoping to get one to go along with my Arcimoto, as it seemed like it would be a better "commuter" - but I just can't imagine commuting over potholes and speed bumps every day in the Solo, not without major improvements. Now hoping the Aptera Sol holds up to its promise… (Yes, I have...

    How Another Company Is Dealing With Constantly Slipping Target Dates

    If you think Americans are bad, the Chinese are 10X worse. They are part of the travel boom in Europe and thus the reason why 50K people land in Venice each day and leave by the evening. Most of them are Chinese and they have their phone out almost 100% of the time. Plus they are over the top...

    Two Out Of Three Americans Say They Will Not Buy A Self Driving Car

    ...in the northeast. Can they prevent a deer from broadsiding you (this happened to me once , stopped in the road), what about axlebraking potholes which we have scads of throughout the winter and spring? Can't avoid those without driving off the road or into the other lane... I was hit by a...

    Tesla Sales Are Rapidly Increasing

    Tesla Sales Are Rapidly Increasing

    ...out of alignment twice. All of this on a Model 3. He blamed the state because they don't plow the roads good enough and there are too many potholes. His wifes X5 is a piece of junk. A week after they bought it, it needed and optional update to the NAV (which was free and you can do it at any...

    The Uniti website says this has a target 149mi range, 26kWh battery, 78mph speed and 1980lb. weight. The Uniti One looks extremely low to the ground. It doesn't mention a target price. ???

    Best of luck on your journey with Sondors and Uniti! How much is the projected price of UNITI 1? I stay away from getting into these crowdfunding schemes to raise money and then the waiting begins if they will ever make or not! Did you just test driven the SOLO? If so, you know they're the test...
