I get the same. I think their server has an expired cert. If you click through the warnings, the site works.

This is great, and it's on-topic:

Mark Frohnmayer FUV Lecture at UC Berkeley Engineering

It begins with a story set in the software industry in Eugene in the 1980s (I was there with a different company), moves on to Disruption Theory and has a picture of the Bug-E at 21:30 where I am at this moment.

Arcimoto Enters Purchase Agreement to Expand Manufacturing Footprint by 185,000 Square Feet In Eugene, Oregon
January 6, 2021

Arcimoto, Inc.® (NASDAQ: FUV), makers of affordable, practical, and joyful pure electric vehicles for everyday commuters and fleets, today announced that it has agreed to purchase a 185,000 square foot manufacturing site in Eugene, Oregon. More than five times as large as Arcimoto’s current manufacturing facilities, the new site will be instrumental in achieving mass production of Arcimoto’s ultra-efficient electric vehicles.

....Closing is scheduled to occur on March 31, 2021.

Arcimoto preps for expansion with $10.25M Eugene property deal

The heart of the property, a couple of blocks east of Arcimoto’s headquarters and factory, is a 155,630-square-foot industrial building occupied now by Pacific Metal Fab.

Arcimoto will need to outfit the building for its purposes, but CEO Mark Frohnmayer said that as a manufacturing facility “it has really good bones for the type of operation we are.”

The purchase from RLH Holdings is scheduled to close at the end of March. The contract allows Pacific Metal Fab to rent back the building for up to six months before it moves into a new facility of its own.

Frohnmayer said Arcimoto’s goal is to be doing “meaningful production” at the 311 Chambers St. location by the end of the year.

Why can't they just sell me one? (Affordably)

If/when I can afford an FUV, the aero add-ons will have it looking like that, except the windshield header won't be mere inches away from my forehead.

Arcimoto Broke All The Establishment Rules About EVs. Here's Why It's Doing So Well

You get 32 miles of range at top speed.

13:13 —without the optional trunk rear seat passenger's hair is blown forward. Needs at least a mesh panel behind their head.

Last time I talked with Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield was at Arcimoto's roll-out.

Well the acquisition of Tilting Motor Works could make things more interesting.
