I was on the West Side today so I stopped by the Arcimoto
factory complex. They have added office space across the street.
I talked to the Lead for Marketing, about the Evergreen Edition vs the Minimum Viable Product. It will be a looong time until the $12.9K price point is reached, but we talked about an intermediate price point so I can plan for deliver next year. The current plan is to put in a zero-miles motor in the SUPERBeetle before it sells and price it at $12-13K.
I stood next to the box van and the fire department model seen above. We talked about radiusing the front and top edges, and having two rear wheels in tandem vs side-by-side. That's a lot of weight high above a single wheel so
I gave him a free tip on the front end aerodynamics, quoting Jay Leno, "Leather, the carbon fiber of it's day."
