Many early reservationists checked the available AC option box. I'm not exactly sure what would you like to update your reservation to include AC means.......certainly doesn't mean you are going to get it based on what came straight from the opposite end of the horses mouth, "the SOLO doesn't need AC, it's like putting AC in a motorcycle."

It "should not" affect your Signature Series Plate........or will not? Mark West, EMV's VP of Sales works hard to make Sales and EMV's P takes them away.
Rick, I call it insider BS. I will wait for the SRK,Sondors, Ampere, who knows maybe an Elio might fall from the sky!:p

Henry Reisner indicated that the Solo will have air conditioning and power steering in an interview/review today on Fox Business News. "This will do everything that your regular commuter car will do. Air conditioning, power brakes, power steering. Everything you need except no more gas bills ever again." He also said, "This is a certified, ready to go vehicle that will be on the streets by the third quarter of this year."

Here's the link to the video...

Henry would have to show me, not tell me what the tiny SOLOW will have, after Kroll’s comments regarding A/C, power brakes, and delayed delivery dates.

My wife just said that it was Fugly, after I told her what Fugly meant:p
I’d like to meet your wife someday. Maybe at a three wheeler motorcycle rally in Sturgis, SD, my home State. That would mean you would have to buy a 2 or 3 seater unless she attended solo. :)

Yeah, well... It wasn't all that long ago that Jerry was telling folks that the Solo did not, and would not, need regenerative braking.
As it turned out, regenerative braking was most likely already integrated into the Solo's control system.

The Solo will lack serious market acceptance without A/C. Especially at that price point.

I know it, you know it, Henry (J.K. may be CEO, but Henry is a major partner) knows it and Jerry knows it.
