Electra Meccanica (three Wheel Electric) Email-11/2/15

It looks really roomy inside just basing on how this guy sits. Legs bent just a bit and the door opening is wide. I just hope there's an armrest built in on both sides then I'm all set.

Yes, arm rests on both sides, the added cup holder for my coffee, and it's looking like 2 functioning doors on the production models. We are both set!

I think you can see the 2 arm rests in these photos. Nice dash!

Why Has No Production Car Hit 300 MPH?

Because 3 wheels are better than 4.

Unless it has wings and can outrun police cars below and police helicopters above, please tell me what's the mentality and really the point of a 300 mph car???

Very nice shot right there Elio Amazed! You just answered my question about the armrest and a cup holder to boot! I'm happy.

Compliments of Rick. It does look like there will be armrests on both sides.
Notice that the speaker placement has changed from the Silver Solo #2.
I'm not sure I like the change. Looks like they crowd the buttons a bit.
Also, the interior above the armrests are no longer ozite carpeting.
Nor are the top of the armrests. Ozite is rough against the skin.

The cup holder looks to be removable.

I wouldn't bet on both doors being functional on the production models.
While the original configuration may not be an MC compliance thing...
I think the NHTSA is going to require it because of the seat belt.

Heeehaaw! It's getting better and better! Really liking these shots Rickb! Very simple dash layout. radio, cup holder, nice simple round vents on both sides and of course, the nice digital screen, brilliant!

I wouldn't bet on both doors being functional though.
It's a compliance thing.

Yes! That red dash make it look like kinda toyish to me! That gray dash is perfect!

I'm just sayin' if you're an owner of a Veyron and all you do is hold back on the throttle because of possibly getting a speeding ticket, then you'll be better off buying a SOLO!

I agree. Better start contacting EMV now with those sentiments to make sure they'll offer optional dash colors.

Seems the dash is color matched to Solo's Body Color. Simple and likely makes production costs as efficient as possible.

Better if I leave them alone, EMV has to be working feverishly to get to production and get those initial units on the road! Hey I'll be happy just to see that! A lot easier to wait when you can actually see them on the road!
