Please look at the side views. Technically you could get two in it but you'll need to be really small to fit in the back. I suggest you watch the guru of three wheelers as you'll see. There's about 2" of rear legroom. You need to ride spread leg and keep the door open (like in the pic you showed).
Plus they still lose money. To the tune of $1.3M for the first 9 months of 2022. Then $485K for the last 3 months from the last filing (9/30/22). So they average $144K per month of a loss for 9 months and the last 3, just shy of 162K per month. So even TMW is costing Arcimoto money. They sell at...
Nimbus does not fit your needs either. It's a one seater. Yes it has a "jump seat" but look at it and there's no way a 2nd person will be riding in it. So, it's back to the FUV and hopefully they listen to their potential customers, add a full door option and open up to all 50 states.
As for Nimbus, they are looking to pitch a series A for $30M:

They are a Michigan corporation:

According to the SEC, offered securities back in 2019 ($260K)...
Not yet but I will assume that looking at his progress, he needs no help. Plus, he would rather take the funding he has and dump it in the product. That's what I'd do. Maybe great minds think alike.
At least he's transparent on his project and not asking for money. You have to respect that...
Done. Mark BEX reads the forum, so he knows. I also suggest you email Nimbus and Arcimoto. This way you can consult them too on what they need to do. For example, tell Arcimoto to sell in your state and offer full doors. Tell Nimbus to offer free test drives in your town. This way, they will...
Funding is the #1 issue. Maybe they got it but until September 30th to live up to their claim.
I don't have a problem with that. All I ask for are a few simple things:
1. If you are a startup, you pay me up front.
2. I don't take pay in stock.
3. Let me know up front the timeline for that...
Import tariffs end up being a big issue for lots of products. For example, ever wonder why they build Toyota and Nissan trucks in the US? Just look up "Chicken Tax". Since EV's are the current big thing, companies like BMW just completed an all EV plant in China. They will build EV's in the US...
There are lots of people that are underfunded and if they only had Gates just stroke them a check. Paul Elio was one. If Bill sent him a $1B check, we'd all be driving around in Elios. If Bill sent Arcimoto $1B check, they would be selling in all 50 states and ramp up to that 50K per year in...
I would, but Sandy Monroe seems to be the person of choice for that industry. Look what he has done for Arcimoto. He got the cost to build a $20K vehicle down to $60K. Aptera is his new gem and thus he should be able to perform the same magic. I'll let the experts like him handle that arena...
The Covids, supply chain issues and the war in Ukraine have really delayed Apteras production and cost to production. They only needed $21M back in 2019 and were going to be making a profit by 2021. Here we are in 2023 and they only need another $50M with an unknown production date. I really...
The Nimbus only costs $6,420 and came out and deliveries started in mid-2022

Here we go. They delayed production until Q3 2023 but started test drives in July 2022. Plus raised the price to $9,980

Wait.... Another company that is taking reservations...
Better yet, top of the Rocky Mountains and go downhill. It's like the up to 84mpg for Elio. My RV will give 84mpg going downhill.
Then there's that video of the Nikola Truck that they filmed on a hill even though it didn't run.
In general, other companies figured out a way through it. We are past Covid and past the supply chain issues. If you want to keep hanging onto that, then go ahead. Economy is actually doing great and especially for people with disposable income. The FUV is for those people. Just like Vanderhall.
I suggest you read my post again. I said, "launch edition" and thus the 400 mile range for that model. The launch edition is what they will launch with, so that's the mileage you'll get. 1000 mile version is later. Just like the DC fast charging.
Just $50M and they are set. They ut it in print on the internet, thus true. That's how it works.
As for mileage, well, they made those numbers up and thus need to be true.
Physics and engineering is overrated. As a Mechanical Engineer, I really don't know a thing. As for a salesperson and...
Good to see that Arcimoto is not even close to be ing a startup. Now it's just a business. Thanks. Seeing that the company is 15 years old and has crossed the finishline for certification and production, they have passed all stages of operations. They are even to the point where they shut down...
