At one point in the video you can see the Faction self-driving deliverator with it's gull wing door. I still don't see why they don't use the Eagle door. It's still a four-bar linkage, but the door lofts over the roof for more headroom standing next to it.
Production numbers are from the 2Q2022 quarterly report. Those are the latest official numbers and we aren't likely to see 3Q2022 numbers for another month. From the last SEC report:

Hi. My name is Doug Campoli. I'm Arcimoto's chief financial officer and treasurer. 102 FUVs were produced in the second quarter of 2022, an almost 16% increase over our previous quarterly record.

41 were sold at an average sales price of $21,658, four were deployed in the marketing or other company use, and 20 were deployed into rental operations. And the balance will be moved into rental or fixed assets. Tilting Motor Works sold a quarterly record of 35 units with an average sales price of $12,296. As of June 30, 2022, there are 400 happy customers on the road as brand ambassadors.

We now have 98 FUVs in our growing rental fleet available for revenue generation, along with a total of 79 FUVs allocated to marketing, R&D and internal fleet use.



Does any of that sound like company with a large backlog of orders to fill? They made 102 vehicles - 41 were sold to customers and they kept the rest. And now they are laying off workers. (Oregon Live says they laid off 50 and furloughed 66 employees.)
