Watching you development process is my favorite part. I am tempering my expectations but enjoying watching your progress. I get frustrated with the crazy crap people say in the Facebook group so I prefer to see it over here.
I dunno man, technically it's not my business but you are putting it up here for all of us to see, so I'll comment. What you are saying it that the dealer lied to you about ordering a motor to initiate a repair. They have basically punted on supporting you and put it off on the manufacturer. I'd...
It's my personal opinion (for whatever it's worth) that you have been swindled. After this much time it's obvious they don't care if it gets fixed. Basically they are daring you to do something about it. Trying to replace cheap electronics to repair an obvious mechanical issue is just a way to...
I'd like to get my hands on either the P4, P5, or one of the completed (or mostly completed) E series vehicles, wherever they might be hiding. I believe I could make myself a reliable and highway capable vehicle out of one of those.
So, I am wading in here to this surprisingly contentious thread. Pulling numbers from the MSN Covid tracking page.
I'm not good at math but out of the known and reported 2,008,728 cases in the US, we've had 113,099 deaths. Isn't that in the neighborhood of like 5.6%? Worldwide of the 7,121,700...
In my experience with small electric motors, about the only thing that fails mechanically is the bearings. I guess the rotor could break but it seems like that would be unlikely.
The success of this project always relied on gas being $4.00+ per gallon combined with with the general unavailability of good and affordable electric vehicles. The ship has sailed on both of those issues. Gas is low and even if it does go back up to that range any time soon, there's going to be...
I could take a short test drive in an FUV and have a blast doing it, but at the same time realize the vehicle doesn't meet my part time or full time commuting needs.
I like both the FUV and Vanderhall, but would not buy either as a primary means of transport because of the open design of both...
