Since they meet all of the criteria, then we can claim they got the $100M. With that, where are they building the East Coast plant? I suggest SC or maybe eastern TN since there's plenty of suppliers there. BMW and VW has massive plants there and it brought in lots of suppliers in the general...

From what Mark said in the August 2018 quarterly report, they just submitted that ATVM loan for $100M which will be for expanded west coast and new east coast manufacturing. They are two years into that application. What's the latest update on that? I found Mark talking about it here at the 3:36...

They paved the way for Vanderhall, Arcimoto and Polaris. As for the rest, they will make plenty of eye candy prototype three wheelers that will never make it to production.

I was thinking this a while back. It's in the same county as Elio Motors and I can see him and Hari helping them out as they have plenty of experience in startups. Maybe take the Nikola tech and turn the Elio into an EV hot rod.

With the 76 week timeline, this means that as of today, we are at December 6, 2021. July 19, 2020 will take us into 2022. Does anyone think there will be an announcement by then or will we have to start another countdown to 2023?

This whole discussion reminds me of going into a plant with a quality control problem and everyone pointing the finger at everyone else as to the cause of it. Then there's the group that have been at the plant for many years and never want to change because they can create the numbers to make it...

The TDI I had does not have a BOV as there would be no way for it to work as there's no throttle in the intake. Thus when you let up on the throttle, it cuts the fuel, that's all. So on my TDI, was a VNT (Variable Nozzle Turbo). It had a vacuum pod on it that changed the nozzle size. That vacuum...

I had a 2000 Jetta TDI and when the exhaust rusted out I replaced the whole thing with one that had just a single small muffler on it and no CAT. It was too loud and I put on another bigger muffler to quiet it down. Even at that it sounded like a truck with the whistle from the turbo.

I asked him and it has a BOV. Fiat calls it a purge valve. We looked at it and it's made by Pierburg. The PN shows it's on all of them and including the non Abarth turbo version. I found out my VW Alltrack has a Pierburg Blow Off valve. My wifes CRV had a blow off valve but it's called an air...

My son used to drive a Mini (I think it was a 2008) and bought a Fiat 500 Abarth a few years ago. The Abarth is a blast to drive but it is pretty loud. Seems that Fiat got away with having no mufflers on it at all. It only has a catalyst right off the turbo. His is a 2014 and one of the first...

In NYC the chewing gum on the handrails is much better and good for you.

This is why I didn't put down a deposit on an Elio. Brand new company that has never built anything before will have some major problems. Especially when they were trying to build their own motor from scratch. Just look at the debacle for Hyundai/Kia when it came to the Theta II engine. They...

It's good they got them to production. I was wondering when that was going to happen. I see the company has some sort of agreement with Club Car too. They are having a virtual town hall meeting today.

My office is in the basement, so I'd have to climb some stairs to get to the fridge. At times when nobody else is home and the AC/furnace is not running, it's eerily quiet. It's so quiet that back in 2011 when we had that earthquake (the one that shut down the national monument) it scared me...

I'm thinking something smaller (like micro):

Actually most people can't do math science or statistics. What they do is have already drawn the conclusion and find the numbers that agrees with it. Then when the numbers that do not, they dismiss them as fake, not correct or bring up some conspiracy to justify their conclusion. A good...

That's why they call me stubby.

I have a flesh colored pistol. Blends right in.

I have it tattooed on my rear end.

I go to Costco in the nude because clothing infringes on my constitutional rights.
