Looking at Arcimoto, they are lacking in the automation for the assemble line. So that means more labor costs and with the PWN not being at the lower end of it, they need to start producing something and that needs to be the highest profit items. What that does is offset the inefficiencies for a...
So all they are doing is calling the reservationists and telling them that if they buy the $20K version and put down $5K non refundable, then they get moved to the front of the line. So for the $12K people, they wait until they have all of the more expensive ones built. The more you spend...
The good thing is that Eliocoin prices will not be dependent on tZero. tZero is a startup and Elio is a 9 year old company, so Elio has a much better chance of performing better on the STO market.
Best thing to do is strip a car apart. They never account for insulation yet they do on sealing for water. Technically they could take the doors and spray a layer of foam in them and then do the same for the roof. You have another issue. It's the glass. Look at the percentage of the glass as...
It all depends on what you are using for heat. For example, I live in PA and my house has a heat pump. I hate it but I can't get gas and it would cost a fortune to make it into oil. So I live with it. My house is just like an EV with a heat pump and resistant heat. The heat pump is literally an...
I predict that in about a year or two that Polaris will have their own FUV and it will be cheaper than the Arcimoto. It just seems like such an easy product for them to crank out without a problem. Top it off they have a built in dealer base along with service and they would build it in a plant...
I think one of the issues is that so many people own shares of Elio and bought them for a much higher price that it's not worth it to sell. Just sit on it (like what Fonzie said) and see what happens. If you own 100 shares and bought it at $5, you can wait it out.
I need to let Einstein know that. It would be a good test to take a 2019 Ford F350, hook up a 48ft trailer that is loaded with a couple of racecars and equipment. It should give about 10 mpg on the highway which is probably much lower than what it would give towing nothing. It would make for a...
Good job there Einstein (Paul A. Eisenstein was the author of the article). Who would not think that an EV gets less range the colder it gets. Even if you didn't factor in battery efficiency, you do need heat and you need more heat the colder it gets. Heat is energy and the only place it can...
For me, I never understood why people compare an Arcimoto to an Elio. They only similarity is just the fact both have three wheels, hauls two people and from there it stops. It would be like comparing a Miata to a Ford GT. They both have 4 wheels and haul 2 people. Arcimoto is just making a fun...
The Arcimoto is going to do well in retirement communities. So, SoCal, Florida and Hawaii. The company knows this as they are not planning to make 100K of them per year. A friend of mine that is retired and lives in Hawaii would buy an Arcimoto and would be the guy that calls on the phone and...
If you have watched what companies like Arcimoto and Elio have done over the years, it's that they discovered that they need to raise the front roll center to get the stability as opposed to sticking on a monster sized ARB. The Silver Elio had way too much front roll in it and you could see it...
There's a pretty good amount of stock that is becoming unrestricted (read the SEC filings) and lots have been used for payment. So, I'd think that some of the people that are in the know, are getting ready for the announcement and thus the price goes down before.
Typically Elio stock goes down before good news comes out. So, it's getting the time to look into buying some up and riding the wave of euphoria. With tZero up and running, I could see an Eliocoin announcement this week.
