Arcimoto Q1 2022 Stakeholder Webinar

edit:
Full doors firstly on the Deliverator. makes sense, there's half the problem.

The 1.x platform has revised 'upper chassis' mounting points. Aptera look out, the big gov't bucks are in a fully enclosed body.

The first bit is on the stock price, then statements by department heads, then Q&A where Mr. Frohnmayer withholds his comment on short sellers.

Obligatory words, from the sound of it, except withholding comment on shorts is the higher ground.

When my brain hears MLM, it immediately thinks "scam".

VERY neat machine though! Reminiscent in a way of the Bug-E from the founder's way back when times.

It's no better when it's spelt out. Mean Lean Machine sounds like a barbecue grill. I'd like Hypertrike better.

The other day, on South A Street, I saw a black Roadster with a rider in black leathers and helmet. It's possible it was the three-motor version. Far from Mark Murphy's Electrathon racers.

I wonder it Cybertrike is already trademarked...

Oh man, an FUV with an 'upper frame' that's a bullet-proof stainless steel monocoque!

I remember seeing those George Foreman grills with a name sounding like that. Didn't buy it because it was too much more expensive than other grills. Yet that could've been useful to recover the fats from beef to use it for frying. AFAIK it's quite common to use beef grease for frying and baking in Uruguay, even though pork lard is more often used here in Brazil.

the three-motor version

With a 3-motor version, maybe the weight bias wouldn't be much of an issue for occasional off-roading... It could even outperform any random SUV driven by the Karen next door

Never liked the concept of lean mean grilling. Higher quality steaks are "marbled", meaning they have fat incorporated with the muscle, and hence a better flavor. Might as well buy a cheaper cut of meat if you want lean.

When I cook bacon, I use the fat to cook potatoes. No sense wasting it.

I don't know how important they type of fat is (HDL vs LDL) with regard to hypertension, as it seems to be mostly influenced by genetics, activity level, and overall weight. Diet surely plays a role, but I'm not convinced it's as big as the other factors.

All that said, fat isn't fattening. Overeating is fattening.
