Arcimoto questions:
1. When is the $11,900 model coming out?
2. When are the full doors coming out?
3. When will they allow residents of PA to buy one?
Please do not answer "soon". That's too much like an elioism.
I need to clarify. A company (Vanderhall) started in 2010 and had a consumer product in 2016. It took them six years to get to production for three wheeler. Arcimoto took twelve years to do the same exact thing. Last time I checked, to get fully certified takes the same effort whether you have a...
We also need to remember that Tesla started the S project in 2006 and released it in 2012. Six years for a startup to a fully certified car (much harder than a three wheeler) that went on for sale to the general public nationwide. I know these wre super expensive products but they have to abide...
Let's not forget, Vanderhall did the same thing in half the time of Arcimoto. Then didn't do it with selling stock or reservations. Plus, 12 years into their business, Vanderhall sells all over the US and Austrailia with a dealer, parts and service system in place.
Looks like they are still in the R&D stage as opposed to a final signed off design ready for production. Good thing is, you can fool the general public into thinking it's ready to go (make the outside look slick and an interior but not cover the nitty gritty of the undercarriage). If you get...
What I have found out is that three wheeled startups promise big things and deliver with the key word "soon". They are happy to take your reservation money too. Only oddball is Vanderhall. Private funded and they didn't ask for your money up front. Plus they did it in record time. So the issue...
The Aptera building is 77,147 sq ft.
Here's it's listing from a few years ago: https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/5818-El-Camino-Real-Carlsbad-CA/19689339/
Vanderhall broke ground on a 1,000,000 sq ft factory over a year ago where they can build up to 25K per year...
So you now own one as we are well into Q2 of 2022. How are the half doors? What’s the real world mileage? Will the let you return the half doors and get the full ones? When do the full doors come out. I’m looking for a date as that’s much better than just glossing over the details.
Also, Road...
Why pay 50% more for a product today? Plus, they need to crank through 5600+ reservations first and then if you live in a banned area like where I live, then it's a complete mystery as to when it'll ever be available.
For you on the other hand, can buy one today yet you refuse to do so because...
I can't find any information that is current when it comes to this $11,900 model. I did find this:
498 FUV's sold to customers since the release in Q3 2019
5,662 pre orders (they lost 112 pre orders in 2021)
Base price is $17,900
Avg price is $20,229
773 pre orders of the MLM
Sales volume needs...
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...
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...
