Does Arcimoto have any rivals?
Tesla? It's not the same market segment, but they're the only other one on the NASDAQ stock exchange.

I just got back from the event at the factory. I can't find my camera so no pix, but there is a live stream (currently experiencing some difficulties):



The first one goes into Mark Frohnmayer's driveway. He chose Crystal Claret Red. It's noice.

edit:
I talked with Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield from Transport Evolved. I planted the thought that the eClassics VW floorpan will necessarily need a new VIN. That will bring a lot of old sheetmetal out of old barns. My 1958 Baja is untitled, for example.

There was a similar project in Brazil, the Pompéo, but it had a side-by-side seating arrangement instead of tandem.

T-Rex, Aptera, Sidewinder. Not many electric tandems.

It looks like the [not]live stream works now.

edit: Where's freebeard? ...and check out the size of the guy that gets in one at 54:30. That's gotta be 98 percentile.

Maybe Paul Elio will buy you an Arcimoto. That would be awesome.

Good to see you both in that video. Surprised you're accepting of such a high profile online.

Now I think freebeard has been compromised and an operative has assumed his online identity.

Either that, or he's off/on his meds :P
