I see it more as the foundation for an aftermarket full of specialist bits 'n pieces. As needed for the Rapid Responder, etc. Range extension would be high on the list.

Remember the 4-wheel FMR_Tg500?



Arcimoto could totally do that. Except 160hp all-wheel drive.
Looking at these drivers leaning into the turn like its a motorcycle just gives me joy. I can feel those thins hard steering wheels, hear little chirpy engines, smell the pre-catalyst exhaust (with leaded), and the wind as they try not to slide off some flat vinyl seat cover in the turn.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
