From day one, Paul wanted major investors. When Elio Motors was founded back in 2008 to the end of 2012, those major investors never came about. After his failed attempt with Pontiac, MI, he went the route of a desperate town of Shreveport that was in panic mode due to the beloved GM plant...

Expand upon this as I'd like to know why this is a much better idea.

That's a Gen 6 FUV. As documented here: https://www.arcimoto.com/history Video of it from 2013.

It starts at $15K USD. Has 4 wheels and only 56 miles of range. Will never be sold in the US.

Spent the last two weeks in Germany. The gas station down the street from me in Frankfurt was at $9.20/gal for regular. $9.35/gal for diesel. Typically diesel is cheaper than gasoline as it's taxed less there but since the demand for diesel is high, it has flip flopped on the price. Back in 2020...

There you go. I noticed on Sunday that they issued another SEC filing (which I got this from). Just search it and you'll see. Company is a train wreck. They are done but just only keeping it going so Paul and the other employee can get a paycheck until they declare bankruptcy. They literally are...

None of this matters until we see real world numbers and according to an accepted spec. I guess what bothers me is I have to live by a different standard. I sell a piece of equipment I designed and built, it must get the numbers that the customer asks for. Paul never did that. It's easy to make...

How far did you have to drive to jump in a FUV? Plus, the FUV has not crossed the finish line according to your specs as you still won't buy one until they make full doors. I'm confused as to why this has taken so long for them to do. They have half doors. Why not finish the other half? What I...

That would be Vanderhall, then Lucid and Rivian (the last two went through a much more rigorous certification process). At least Vanderhall did it really fast, set up a nationwide dealer and service network. Now they are selling them in Australia. We should be celebrating that as it's a three...

Elio was full of interesting wording. The "up to 84 MPG" is a tough one because, what is that? How do you calculate MPG? Is it the Elio standard? Maybe the UK standard? As we all know, in the UK, they use a different standard and calculate it with the Imperial Gallon, yet they say "MPG". I can...

Have you had to load up and get out the Davey Crockett Grill yet? I'm wondering how it works for ease of loading and unloading. In July, we will be in NH and ME for three weeks, so I'm considering it for that trip. I'm also going to Watkins Glen in June and that might be a trial too.

I ask this, "Half as wide as what?" Width means nothing, frontal area is a whole different story. For example, when we talk about full width, the Elio was wider than a C6 Corvette. The way I see it, Paul was talking to people that are not engineers and thus know nothing about things like fluid...

I really want to see how it works for the pizza.

One company literally built and got their three wheeler on the road with NHTSA and EPA certification (which is not easy) in 6 years. Then they set out to form a dealer network for warranty and service along with parts. They did what no startup has ever done when it comes to three wheelers. Yes...

Just remember to use the word "hangry".

I'd call FexEx and tell them that you are hungry.

It's handy for when I go in the RV. A while back, I took ribs that I had done a few months ago and took out one of the bags and set them on a tree stump to defrost. Threw them afterwards on the Blackstone for a few minutes and has that part of a meal. I honestly think it's better than right off...

Just run another frame rail across the back and then run it up to the one on the left side. If needed, make that bolt on as to allow for rear wheel service. Look at how a hitch works for a recent Jeep Wrangler. It's super simple and bolts to the existing frame rail in the vehicle.

I look forward to the BEX. I do ask you, since you can get a free test drive in a Vanderhall, when are you going to do that? You are a three wheeler fan and wouldn't it be nice to drive one. I'd love to test drive a FUV but I can't as I'm not allowed as I live in a state that they will not sell...

This is big news. On the other hand, when Elon farts, the world knows it within a minute. I can't find any information that he is interested in Elio and it sure is not on his Twitter feed. As we all know, he announces everything on that platform before telling anyone else. Then, we should be...
