Import tariffs end up being a big issue for lots of products. For example, ever wonder why they build Toyota and Nissan trucks in the US? Just look up "Chicken Tax". Since EV's are the current big thing, companies like BMW just completed an all EV plant in China. They will build EV's in the US...

Elio is not bust. They still have a website. So, everything is fine.

There are lots of people that are underfunded and if they only had Gates just stroke them a check. Paul Elio was one. If Bill sent him a $1B check, we'd all be driving around in Elios. If Bill sent Arcimoto $1B check, they would be selling in all 50 states and ramp up to that 50K per year in...

I would, but Sandy Monroe seems to be the person of choice for that industry. Look what he has done for Arcimoto. He got the cost to build a $20K vehicle down to $60K. Aptera is his new gem and thus he should be able to perform the same magic. I'll let the experts like him handle that arena...

The Covids, supply chain issues and the war in Ukraine have really delayed Apteras production and cost to production. They only needed $21M back in 2019 and were going to be making a profit by 2021. Here we are in 2023 and they only need another $50M with an unknown production date. I really...

The Nimbus only costs $6,420 and came out and deliveries started in mid-2022 Link from Nimbus website Here we go. They delayed production until Q3 2023 but started test drives in July 2022. Plus raised the price to $9,980 Another article Wait.... Another company that is taking reservations...

There's room for a small dog. So they should market it as small dog friendly.

Better yet, top of the Rocky Mountains and go downhill. It's like the up to 84mpg for Elio. My RV will give 84mpg going downhill. Then there's that video of the Nikola Truck that they filmed on a hill even though it didn't run.

In general, other companies figured out a way through it. We are past Covid and past the supply chain issues. If you want to keep hanging onto that, then go ahead. Economy is actually doing great and especially for people with disposable income. The FUV is for those people. Just like Vanderhall.

I suggest you read my post again. I said, "launch edition" and thus the 400 mile range for that model. The launch edition is what they will launch with, so that's the mileage you'll get. 1000 mile version is later. Just like the DC fast charging.

Just $50M and they are set. They ut it in print on the internet, thus true. That's how it works. As for mileage, well, they made those numbers up and thus need to be true. Physics and engineering is overrated. As a Mechanical Engineer, I really don't know a thing. As for a salesperson and...

Good to see that Arcimoto is not even close to be ing a startup. Now it's just a business. Thanks. Seeing that the company is 15 years old and has crossed the finishline for certification and production, they have passed all stages of operations. They are even to the point where they shut down...

Interesting. So Vanderhall is not a new startup yet has been in business for fewer years than Arcimoto. Maybe it's just if you spend twelve years in R&D with eight iterations of the product, then when you finally go into production, add three years, you are still a new startup. When does it...

Would you consider Vanderhall a new startup then? They did everything you said and did it by selling their product in half the time, then three years sooner than FUV. Plus sell in all 50 states and internationally. If I start a company today, make a website , start doing social media, sit for...

Here's a link. It'll show you the timeline. The fully enclosed one was launched in September 2009. Literally 10 years before they went with their current production. This was approximately 3 years before Elio started taking reservations for their enclosed autocycle. https://www.arcimoto.com/history

Company was founded 15 years ago. At what year does it not becomes a new startup? They launched production 12 years later I agree. When they decided to go public (10 years after founded and 2 years before production). Here we are 3 years later and they are still struggling. Incorrect. Elio...

I think that Elio Motors takes the prize of making positive PR posts all while the company was sinking. The discussions here were interesting. I specifically remember when the SEC filing had that they furloughed everyone except for two at the end of 2016, people were going after the definition...

Some more good information: - 89 units sold for Q4 2022 (a new record) - 228 units sold for all of 2022 (sold 190 in 2021, thus 2022 is a new record) - More than 500 FUV's on the road today - Over 5000 "butts in seats" with the rental program

This is what they do in Paris. Thus much less space than a FUV. Thus a better solution. If you notice, there's a three wheeler in there. It's much more narrow.

Then buy one. As of 1/1/23, you can get a 1998 or older Kei car. For example, an hour from me is this place and thus the reason why I see a number of Kei cars in NJ and Eastern PA. https://minitrucksdealer.com/ With federal law, anything 1998 or older can be imported in the US without any...
