Based on what I saw at the Repair Facility, the biggest, most important lesson is it's a trimaran not a canoe.

The line is only about where they release them for sale geographically and how fast they can make them.
I doubt there will be substantial changes in battery or weight and seriously doubt you’ll see Tesla batteries within 2 years, if at all. You have a long wait until Arcimoto makes your perfect vehicle. Likely never. |

To quote gumby79: "Dream Big Chisel Down To Reality".
You get to ride one, I'm counting on further price reductions.
Whenever I jump in, the first priority is 'full pant' front fender skirts, Turnpike cruiser-style rear skirts and a Cyclopean headlight.

I saw my first Arcimoto driving on a public road yesterday. I think it was the guy in my neighborhood but a didn't get a good look at the driver.

I'm not one to shy away from a campfire, but I wonder if people might be hesitant to own an FUV after having been smoked out for 2 weeks? It is nice to run recirc air through a carbon activated filter rather than be in the environment. Then again, one of the appeals of motorcycles is being one with the environment.

Being one with the environment is great when the environment isn't on fire.
