The good news is they have essentially no debt as a startup.
I never realized that Arcimoto was a startup. I assumed that a company that was founded in 2007 and produced it's first consumer product 12 years later was a startup. That means, Tesla is a startup then. They are three years older than Arcimoto and where Tesla was three years ago, they had 150K consumer products. Right now, Arcimoto has under 100. I ask you this, what constitutes a "startup". If I have an idea for making pizzas and spend 12 years in my kitchen getting what I think is right and then sell 100 of them over 6 months, am I a startup? When does the "startup" moniker get dropped?

Also, Arcimoto has zero debt and pretty much $6.5M in the bank. So they are doing great since they went through another round of funding. Mark is now under the gun to start producing product at a profit as opposed to press releases with actors and space guys in them.

Also, for the superfan of Arcimoto, why do you not have one? It makes zero sense to me for the #1 fan to not own the product they push. Almost makes me think you are paid by Mark to push the product. If not then get one today.

Good lookin 3 wheeler, which one is it? And does it have side curtains?
It’s the Arcimoto FUV Base Color Black with Sport Color Accent and custom color red seats. The hard half doors “are about to roll out the thermoform shop” according to a recent statement by the CEO, with hard full doors to follow at some point in time. The upper frame and roof assembly meets FMVSS certified auto roof crush standards. FUV Silver base color render with hard half door option.

Is that yours Rickb?, Very cool, I like it.
Thanks Coss, but unfortunately not mine. Two more of my favorites, particularly the green one. Fun watching them roll out and I’m fascinated by the owners spending the added $2-3K for creative custom shop paint colors and options. I’m still patiently waiting on the doors required to meet my old guy needs, before taking delivery, at which point my 12+ year journey to take delivery of an enclosed three wheeler comes to an end.......or is it just the beginning?

Who said that was paint, it could be a applied decal. Looks like it to me.
$2-3k man, someone is making some serious cash off a simple job.
Bring it by the shop, I can do the same for less. And I'll do it in paint.
