SEC filings are there for a reason buy many never read them. Anyway, having been involved with a couple dozen patent infringement lawsuits, this is how it goes. There's a patent out there. Someone makes something similar. Owner of the patent files a lawsuit. Then it gets extended for months...

I still like numbers. For example, in 2019, there were 57 FUV's made, 46 were sold to customers. For Q1, 2020 they delivered another 27 FUV's. They have 4285 reservations as of March 31, 2020 which is an increase of 88 over the end of 2019. Production in Q1 of 2020 went from 1 FUV per day to 2...

I'm an engineer and like numbers. I want to make sure FUV is not making more press releases than FUV's. I hear about how great it is and thus they must be running at full capacity. What is full capacity? With you being the inside guy with this company, you know. So spill the beans. If they are...

When I checked a while back, Hari had stopped Kapeesh but now it looks like it's back in business. When I mean back in business, it has a live website which means you are officially in business. Good to see he is tutoring. He has lots of knowledge and people can now tap into it.

How many Delivernators have they delivered so far?

Here's the site. So if you need a tutor, looks like Hari will help you out. Plus he shows up on the chat. Maybe he could help with a problem I have in school right now. I am starting a business and it needs an ATVM loan. How much money do I need to pay an expert to get this? https://www.kapeesh.io

Correct. That had nothing to do with Elio Motors moving there. Stu needed a favor and Paul is required to do what he wants him to do. If Paul refused, the Elio website would go down and there would be an announcement that the company is out of business. Stu bent over backwards for Paul and gave...

So we are two years into the FUV application and no info at all. It wounds like that the most perfect example for the ATVM loan is struggling and maybe that loan program is a waste of time for Mark to even mention because at least a hundred of other perfect examples never got it to. Why would...

Since they meet all of the criteria, then we can claim they got the $100M. With that, where are they building the East Coast plant? I suggest SC or maybe eastern TN since there's plenty of suppliers there. BMW and VW has massive plants there and it brought in lots of suppliers in the general...

From what Mark said in the August 2018 quarterly report, they just submitted that ATVM loan for $100M which will be for expanded west coast and new east coast manufacturing. They are two years into that application. What's the latest update on that? I found Mark talking about it here at the 3:36...

They paved the way for Vanderhall, Arcimoto and Polaris. As for the rest, they will make plenty of eye candy prototype three wheelers that will never make it to production.

I was thinking this a while back. It's in the same county as Elio Motors and I can see him and Hari helping them out as they have plenty of experience in startups. Maybe take the Nikola tech and turn the Elio into an EV hot rod.

With the 76 week timeline, this means that as of today, we are at December 6, 2021. July 19, 2020 will take us into 2022. Does anyone think there will be an announcement by then or will we have to start another countdown to 2023?

This whole discussion reminds me of going into a plant with a quality control problem and everyone pointing the finger at everyone else as to the cause of it. Then there's the group that have been at the plant for many years and never want to change because they can create the numbers to make it...

The TDI I had does not have a BOV as there would be no way for it to work as there's no throttle in the intake. Thus when you let up on the throttle, it cuts the fuel, that's all. So on my TDI, was a VNT (Variable Nozzle Turbo). It had a vacuum pod on it that changed the nozzle size. That vacuum...

I had a 2000 Jetta TDI and when the exhaust rusted out I replaced the whole thing with one that had just a single small muffler on it and no CAT. It was too loud and I put on another bigger muffler to quiet it down. Even at that it sounded like a truck with the whistle from the turbo.

I asked him and it has a BOV. Fiat calls it a purge valve. We looked at it and it's made by Pierburg. The PN shows it's on all of them and including the non Abarth turbo version. I found out my VW Alltrack has a Pierburg Blow Off valve. My wifes CRV had a blow off valve but it's called an air...

My son used to drive a Mini (I think it was a 2008) and bought a Fiat 500 Abarth a few years ago. The Abarth is a blast to drive but it is pretty loud. Seems that Fiat got away with having no mufflers on it at all. It only has a catalyst right off the turbo. His is a 2014 and one of the first...

In NYC the chewing gum on the handrails is much better and good for you.
