I think these are neat little vehicles, but 20k for a brand-new Arcimoto FUV is a lot of money. The brand is unproven and who knows if in 10 years it will still be around. In Q3 of 2022 they only delivered 74 vehicles, which was "the highest quarter of customer deliveries in Arcimoto’s history" What happens if I need replacement parts for my vehicle and Arcimoto is no longer around? There may not even be another FUV in my entire province...

A brand new Mitsubishi Mirage, whilst not an EV, gets 36 combined with a 5spd, and 39 combined with a CVT. Not close to the efficiency of an electric car, but the company isn't likely going anywhere, and if it does, there were almost 16,000 sold last year in the US alone. Not to mention a 10yr / 100,000mi warranty. Mitsubishi also doesn't charge an extra $40 for cupholders...
