Arcimoto will sell well in warm coastal areas and especially in retirement communities. Then they will do OK in urban areas but that they really need to do is work out a deal like they have in Europe for urban areas. For example in Paris, they have electric car sharing with things that look like...
Think about it. The Elio goes 672 miles on a tank of gas. So you can make 650 miles without a worry in the world. That would be like going from Elio Global HQ in Phoenix to the Elio Global Manufacturing Campus in Shreveport and only having to stop once for gas. I can't see why you'd need A/C for...
You bring up a good point. I can't find anything where Elio has stated any production number at all and nothing of what they need to do as a minimal number. They give what the cost of an Elio was back in August but nothing as to if they only need to make one or a million. It would be helpful if...
A Citroen 2CV doesn't need AC either. Just pop open the two front vents and open those side windows and you are set. It's like being on the French Riveria (even the seats are like a beach chair).
Actually the challenges are different. For Elio, it's literally building a car like everyone else does but you are trying to do it for your first product. For a company like Arcimoto, they are building a product no different than Yamaha, Polaris, Suzuki etc. It's a much simpler design with less...
How about backdate the technology to the point where no modern hacker would know what to do? I like it because they even include an ice cream maker in the car. I sure loved what we were able to do in 1976.
You comparing apples to oranges. Motorcycle business is different than selling a 3 wheeler. Everyone knows what a motorcycle is, but the Arcimoto does look like an overgrown golf cart. In the end, that will be a hard image to overcome. I suspect that there will be great demand in the beginning...
Well that's good. So around 2000 for 12 months. Looking at 2K per year makes sense and I could see maybe a high of 5K of the economy is right. I can see that as a company like Polaris, Yamaha, Suzuki, or Honda could go from thinking about a three wheeler to production in about 12 months. Even...
You bring up a good point. So, Solo is on #27. and the SRK is at #6. I now want to know, how long has it taken from #1 to #27 for the Solo and then for #1 to #6? Plus, I want to leave out the company cars because that's just an R&D trick to get "customers" to test out your product yet they...
I had to Google the guy because have no idea who he is. You bring up a good point. #1 goes to some sort of famous guy that means, they will literally give him the white glove treatment on anything that goes wrong. As most of these deals go, what he advertised that he paid for and what he paid...
I don't think so at all. I've been proved wrong by other engineers and I want Paul to do it too. What I'd rather see is someone do what they say they can do, especially when they ask for other peoples money to make that vision a reality. So far we have seen the vision but not the reality.
The article referenced was a Chinese company buying fuel sells to use in their own company cars in China. I don't understand what that has to do with California and taxpayers.
I guess if Paul builds a "production" ready car for his neighbor, then they are production ready. If it's that easy, we need to let him know. In the world of manufacturing, there's a big difference from delivering 1 car to some unknown person as opposed to delivering 5000 of them. On the other...
It comes down to is what investors look at as opposed to everyone else. Elio publishes this information for all to see but investors are the only ones that care, thus the specific investors link. It looks like at this point, we really need to see what they are reading and getting as info. As for...
What you are saying is that you can't provide the answers but at least #1 was delivered and that's good enough. What are Arcimoto and Solo yearly production numbers then? Let's say, how many will they produce between January, 1, 2018 to December, 31, 2018. We are already at January 15, 2018 and...
I suggest that since you live in China, you need to take this up with them. As for here in the US, we don't have to worry about that. Only ones spending money on alternative energy has been shifted to the private sector which ends up being the private sector for non US corporations. Best thing...
Please provide the date of Arcimoto and EMV's customer #1 delivery and then how many they have delivered to todays date. I'm just curious as to when they made the first one and what the production rate is.
If you read the article, this is about China and not the US. I really encourage all of you to take a trip to China and get a wake up call. They don't do everything just because of the US market and what we want here. For the US, we only need ICE and everything else is a waste. That's because the...
