Also, if you ever owned a Jeep and took the doors off, then drove it in the rain, you still get wet. When that other guy going the other way hits a puddle and it splashes you from the side, you get wet. Like here yesterday, rain and 30mph winds. Thus getting wet. Plus, many do not want to put on...

So, at $25K, it's affordable? Why not just buy something else for that price? We know that the Elio was never going to sell at that price and then Sondors was another pie in the sky idea that the CEO figured it out pretty quick, thus ditched the project. Even Vanderhall stopped making their EV...

You can go 1000 miles in the Aptera between recharges. Just parking it for a day not plugged in, gives you 40 miles. Then it's faster than a Lambo and you can camp out of it. Much better than any Tesla.

So, now onto production? When is that going to happen?

I agree. The cheapest things here in the US come with lots of bells and whistles. Thus people use that as the benchmark for what they want to buy. Price point does play into the factor because if you make something cheap enough, you can accept less. Thus the reason why back in the day, they made...

So the aftermarket created full doors yet the CEO of Arcimoto says they need to do a redesign of the chassis? That confirms that the company spent money on side projects and not on the full doors. Where do you buy these full doors and what's the cost? That's a deal changer for many.

Remember, interest is one thing, actual sales is another. What I find is that when you get into the details, then the interest becomes less when it comes to a FUV. Limited sales/service area, the price, the door situation, charging and then the range. It's obvious by the company numbers, they...

Yes. The issue is, what is the demand for the product. It's a play toy. Not an everyday vehicle. There are people that will use them everyday and force the issue for things like, "You don't need doors" but as we all know, many want them no matter what the handful say. Even with the supply chain...

Arcimoto is along the lines of a Polaris Ranger. Basic. The Tesla and Rivian are full blown crash tested vehicles that have been certified (Tesla has an excellent crash rating). Full hardshell cockpit, full HVAC and pretty much like a real car/pickup. Then they both can be bought in all 50...

Arcimoto was to be selling a fully enclosed model and if you look at the SEC filings when they were asking for public money, that's what they were going to do (as you know, I have documented this before). Yet, they failed. They even were talking about an $11,900 model when they were asking for...

Even if that product after 4 years of production, costs 200% more than it's made for? That would be like a Pizza joint making a $2 pizza but to costs them $6 to make it.

I notice no mention of Vanderhall. Why? We sould be celebrating that company that made it across the production and certification line with a three wheeler faster than any other startup? Yet we don't as $30K is too expensive. Or it's not enclosed or it's not easy to get into due to pics on the...

Educated guessing is different than just guessing. When companies go public, then it's much easier to guess as to what they are doing. In the case of Arcimoto, what they proposed for the IPO and what they did were two different things. Same for Elio. It's that Arcimoto started selling product in...

I'd say, Eliocoin

It's called educated guessing. Company provides the data and then you have to work through that. Elio was no different. If either company never went public and kept the info to themselves, then it's guessing.

You can even buy new a 2023 version of that Atlas. I have one I keep in the RV. Roads do change. As for dashes, when I helped my friend do his Cobra Kit car, we used an AIM dash. Since the engine had a CAN-BUS (Ford Coyote) that was super easy. Then I just set up the rest of it with a few other...

Arcimoto loses $40K on every unit sold. They are in year 4 of production. This article is year 3 of production of the model S. Rivian loses money too but they have the cash to keep it going. I'd think that by year 4 of production, you'd maybe be losing $1K on a $20K unit since the FUV is a very...

Arcimoto had a plan. Just look at the SEC filings. They explain it in great detail. Thing is, just like Elio, the plan laid forth, was not followed. Thus Arcimoto finally made it to selling a production unit yet is losing their shirt on every product that goes out the door. They are not to the...

The specs are excellent: Starts at $23K 204hp 0-60 in 5 seconds 250mi range The other model: Starts at $150K 449hp 0-60 in 1.8 seconds 300 mile range They talked about how it mines cryptocurrency too. So that means it pays for itself over the long haul. Plus it comes out this year.

So, we just call companies a "new startup" no matter how long they have been making a product. Tesla is a new startup then. Then when Arcimoto decided to go public, their specs of the 130 mile battery, full HVAC and hard shell enclosure, were never really going to happen, it was just a dream of...
