Thanks for posting that, as it proves my point. With the FUV, you have to sit in traffic just like everyone else. You can't ride down in between the traffic to get ahead. Then you can't park it on a sidewalk, instead have to either double park or find a parking spot just like the JC Transit...

What's the deal with the "city" car? I rarely see them in cities. For example, go to Paris, it's e-bikes, bikes and scooters. Go to London and it's the same. Even Frankfurt is now doing the switch to the same. After 2020, NYC is flooded with scooters and e-bikes. Yet none of the city of cars. I...

I would tell them that at least it's not 18%. Thus they will feel better.........

Interest is nothing. Elio Motors defaulted on their first payment of $25M for the equipment in Shreveport and thus it defaulted to 18%. Take that and the other creative financing, is the reason why the company that does nothing except for paying Paul $250K per year, somehow creates $18M in debt...

Aptera announces the launch edition. My takeaways: - Need $50M more to get to production (have raised $85M so far) - No idea as to when production will finally happen (maybe 12 months) - Sandy Munro has been working with them (just like he did with Arcimoto) - A Pre-IPO (so a way for you to get...

One part of the mission statement that's missing. We need to make money at this. Unless they stop the bleeding, they will be out of money yet again. Volume is not the answer to all of the manufacturing problems. It's efficiency based on realistic projections. With them going to 50K in 2025, I do...

This is how it works in this industry. Xponentialworks sets up a booth at various conferences and trade shows. They also reach out to other companies for business. Xponentialworks is funded by private equity. So it's a group of rich people that are trying to invest in the next big thing. They...

A few things. Dealing with manufacturing for most of my life and everything from automotive to powersports (I consider the FUV on the same level as the powersports offerings). For these changes to the production, then one weekend is all they need. Since they are working 4 days per week, then...

For anyone that gets the Arcimoto newsletters, they came out with a new one. They in fact paused production but did it because of the 2023 model. The 2023 model will have new features, improving overall ride quality, performance and polish. I guess with the $12M check they got, they can now...

With that pink part, this was a perfect example of Mark wasting the money he won from the lottery (aka IPO). I like bleeding edge technology but I also know that when building a cheap consumer product, then you go more basic in your approach. Basic means, easy to manufacture and durable. Instead...

You do realize, Bob was eliminated from Arcimoto back a few months ago. So, seems that TLM (which operates at a loss) was not a good business decision. The amount of equipment they could have bought to get the production cost down, is amazing. Instead, they spent it on a company that makes a...

I agree. When Arcimoto won the lottery (aka an IPO) they went on a spending spree for things that could have been spent for manufacturing equipment and developing the FUV with items like full doors, HVAC, increased range and a steering wheel. Instead, it was spent on buying TMW and developing...

Best part is this. It can be done and in a 6 year timeframe. Vanderhall has made a fully certified 3 wheeler with a nationwide dealer and support network. Plus they offer free test drives. Just like the FUV, it doesn’t fit everyone’s needs. At least it made it across the finish line and done so...

Elio did this and they can sell 250K per year. Problem solved. For 250K per year at $6800 you make money and it feeds the market. Use the Elio research data and go for the funding. It's super simple.

Plus, when a company says they are going to make an $11,900 model but is selling a 17,900 model, why would you want to spend an extra 50% on a product? Mark said that by 2025, they will be able to produce 50k in a year. I suspect that’s enough to offer the $11,900 model. I can wait 2 years...

Here’s a link the KVAL report. So FUV is running normally as told by one employee. I can’t wait to see Mark confirm this. That way the stock price will shoot up and they can raise the money to keep making product. https://kval.com/news/local/arcimoto-halts-production-may-seek-bankruptcy#

There’s a reason why companies like Vanderhall, charge what they do. They build their production around the demand. Not guess what the demand is and try to build production around that. Elio thought they could build a $6800 unit. They thought that funding a plant to build 250k would work. Demand...

It costs too much to make the product. It’s in the SEC filing. In a nutshell, about $60k to sell a $20k unit (this is counting the cost of the labor, energy and parts that goes into each unit). Volume won’t solve that. I already posted that they need to move to the SE and be close to other...

That's a risk statement. If a compant has stopped production and you want to invest in it, then go ahead. This is how SEC filings work.
