    Shocking… I told you so.

    Arcimoto needs to stop bleeding cash and stop with all of the new models. Concentrate on the core brand. The company is going to run into a problem because the sales are in the toilet. Plus the production is at 632 for the life of the product. Even if they could ramp up production, the sales are...

    Regional Fuel Prices

    Just got back from Germany. When I was there in the beginning of June, the gas station down the street from where I was in Frankfurt was $9.35/gal. Now it's $6.80/gal. US elections must change the price of gas in Germany too. Pricing for fuel has remained pretty consistent in Iceland though.

    Arcimoto

    It just seems odd that Arcimoto can't make full doors. Yet they keep introducing new items like that electric bike, half doors, Electric Can Am, Delivinator and the Emergency response thing. Why is it taking so long for them to just make full doors on the flagship product? I think that Arcimto...

    Three years and no FUV. They refuse to sell you one and the promised full doors are six years away. I’d call Mark and have him correct this issue. Pronto.

    Arcimoto

    Buy one now and have the full doors retrofitted. Should be easy. As for service, then use Road America as they are nationwide. Just call Mark, and tell him to make yours with half doors but the provision he will have Road America come out and install the full doors when they come out. You have...

    Since you have a reservation and there’s no need for full doors, when are you getting yours?

    Arcimoto

    Found out you don't need doors for a FUV. When it rains you stay dry and with the heated handle grips, you stay warm. For people waiting for doors, it's not necessary for the FUV experience.

    Arcimoto

    Arcimoto questions: 1. When is the $11,900 model coming out? 2. When are the full doors coming out? 3. When will they allow residents of PA to buy one? Please do not answer "soon". That's too much like an elioism.

    My Elio Alternate Project Is Underway.

    I need to clarify. A company (Vanderhall) started in 2010 and had a consumer product in 2016. It took them six years to get to production for three wheeler. Arcimoto took twelve years to do the same exact thing. Last time I checked, to get fully certified takes the same effort whether you have a...

    My Elio Alternate Project Is Underway.

    We also need to remember that Tesla started the S project in 2006 and released it in 2012. Six years for a startup to a fully certified car (much harder than a three wheeler) that went on for sale to the general public nationwide. I know these wre super expensive products but they have to abide...

    My Elio Alternate Project Is Underway.

    Let's not forget, Vanderhall did the same thing in half the time of Arcimoto. Then didn't do it with selling stock or reservations. Plus, 12 years into their business, Vanderhall sells all over the US and Austrailia with a dealer, parts and service system in place.

    Aptera SOL

    Looks like they are still in the R&D stage as opposed to a final signed off design ready for production. Good thing is, you can fool the general public into thinking it's ready to go (make the outside look slick and an interior but not cover the nitty gritty of the undercarriage). If you get...

    Aptera SOL

    What I have found out is that three wheeled startups promise big things and deliver with the key word "soon". They are happy to take your reservation money too. Only oddball is Vanderhall. Private funded and they didn't ask for your money up front. Plus they did it in record time. So the issue...

    So you now own one as we are well into Q2 of 2022. How are the half doors? What’s the real world mileage? Will the let you return the half doors and get the full ones? When do the full doors come out. I’m looking for a date as that’s much better than just glossing over the details. Also, Road...

    Why pay 50% more for a product today? Plus, they need to crank through 5600+ reservations first and then if you live in a banned area like where I live, then it's a complete mystery as to when it'll ever be available. For you on the other hand, can buy one today yet you refuse to do so because...
