Three wheelers will never be mainstream. They will be niche and cater toward older guys that have money to spend on toys. That's the bulk of the market. I bet if you did a survey on the people that are interested in three wheelers, most will be retired. For the Slingshot and Spyder, they were...

I disagree. The money is there for both to use. They do not need to be successful either. Just use it up. After that, look elsewhere for money. Zero risk.

This latest thing with Arcimoto has bilking the US taxpayers written all over it. So, you take a tactical gear company and a struggling EV company and mix the two together. What could go wrong? Arcimoto has a sub par battery and charging system. The current CEO was working for a failed EV pickup...

I seen this company at a trade show about 10 years ago. They are stuck in some sort of time warp where they keep pushing the same exact thing over and over again. The problem is that 10-20 years ago they might have had a chance but the world past them by. If you think Liquid piston is a scam...

Now they can work with Liquid Piston. With the tech that Arcimoto has developed for an EV and the Liquid Piston being another great product, I can see them making a Liquid Piston Hybrid using proprietary EV tech and then using NxU for the batteries (the best batteries out there) and that's where...

I disagree. I can see it equipped with grenade launchers and machine guns. All while going through a war zone. The doorless idea from Mark was great as you don't need them because of the easy access in and out. Then after a day of fighting, the guys can blow off some steam by having fun in the...

Big news from Arcimoto. They are now in the defense industry. Looks like it's due to their expertise with EV's.

The HVAC thing can just be a heat pump (which I bet was what they were looking at). Issue is, that would take the perfect 102 miles per charge lower. Then if you were on the highway that 33 miles would be really low. The windscreen will block the airflow and thus, make it hotter as opposed to...

More good news. They only lost $20M in the first 6 months as opposed to $30M last year. Revenue is up too. It shows that shutting down the plant and eliminating 2/3 of your workforce is a good thing. As of now, they need to sell 7100 units in 2025 to be cash positive. That's much better than the...

Good news, Arcimoto sales are up. In this period for last year (first 6 months), they sold 65 but this year 102 (57% increase) . Plus, they have the plant and other properties up for sale, so they can raise more money and then use a Lease buyback program. They are not losing as much money either.

Bring up a good point. Paul will talk to Elon and they will build a gigaplant for these three wheelers. I'm thinking a $10K Elio that has 200 hp along with 500 miles of range. Paul worked out the super cheap price. Elon worked out the great range and power. Problem solved.

I suspect he went back to doing roofing. It made him lots of money to where he could start Elio Motors after Elio Engineering went belly up after the stock market crash. It's hard to update your website when you are doing roofing. Give it time, it'll all work out.

A guy I have been doing work for just bought a VW Jetta. Base model for $18K. It's a 2023 but he got a good price on it because it's a manual and it had been on the lot for a while. I do know that their automatic is not a CVT. I'm amazed at how big it is. I think it's bigger than my Golf Wagon...

As for the start stop. Use it as much as possible while under warranty. If you ever worked with an automotive supplier (especially for a GM product), they test the poop out of stuff and make sure that a good percentage will make it past warranty. Instead of just buying the next level part that...

Just to show how iPetitions woks, look at my above post. Here we are 30 months later and still at 95%. It's at 1797 people yet, still at 95%.

They are aluminum. Stock Fun Beetle EVO2. Tesla Model 3 is front steer. Same for just about every 3 series BMW since the 80's. All Porsche 924 thru 968 are front steer.

Domino's already uses the Deliverator: Plus, Whalburger uses them too: Now with the MUV, I can see Pizza Hut and Papa Johns buying them up.

It’s this from 1997. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fun_Cup

Another article on that full enclosed Deliverator back in 2019. Plus with the modular platform. MUV is such a new idea.......... https://cleantechnica.com/2019/03/20/arcimoto-introduces-a-custom-built-electric-vehicle-for-around-town-deliveries/

Deliverator 2019: MUV 2023 Great progress on a brand new item. Looks slightly different but since it is and a different name 4 years down the road, it's brand new!
