I wonder if FUVEE or EFFUV or EFUVEE would work?
A good Example of how a startup CEO should respond and communicate to misunderstanding of media reviewer’s inaccurate takes on current financial statements and production progress reporting: Mark Frohnmayer, Arcimoto’s CEO, response to the hyperchange video (Even the Hyper change reporter was appreciative and impressed he got a direct CEO response:

I wonder if the same people allowed anyone in that state to have a plate with "FIT" on it.
Trust the government to intrude into every aspect of your life that they can.
And you WILL like it or else. It's going to get nothing but worse.
Somethings we like, somethings we don’t like, some things we can’t live without. I predict it will get much better. I wonder if Arcimoto’s ATVM Loan application is working it’s way to the top. It might be the first ATVM Loan to be approved in years.

I'm wondering, when is it that Arcimoto will do this. I call them on the phone and say, "Gimme a blue one" and then they say, "It'll be at your door in a week". Obviously, I have the money up front and will wire transfer it to them (which takes a few minutes to do). I'm not talking about pre production or (insert name here ) Series but just like I would any other regular product.
I was under the impression since they sold one to that space actor guy, the company was up and running with models that anyone could buy at any time (i.e. like a 2019 Ford Truck). I'm not looking for a link, but something like, "On (insert date here) anyone will be able to buy one of our regular production units and have it at their door in a week." I just want (insert date here) to be filled in. I can go to a Vanderhall or Polaris dealer and get one of their production units in a week. I want to see when Arcimoto will be like those two companies.

Arcimoto is currently assembling the production model A’s, followed by production of the first 200 retail reservation units to be delivered early to mid summer followed by the remaining 2900+ reservationist FUVs. Keep in mind it’s only been a couple of years since the Gen8 reveal and lots has happened with Sig Series (Space Guy was Sig Series #2) and Beta Fleet testing, changes/improvements made determined by thousands of Beta road testing miles, undergoing the manufacturer’s Federal certification and vehicle validation process, and tooling the AMP to reach the starting line to production scale. “Gimme the blue one”, most likely 2020, if you don’t currently hold a reservation #.

So Arcimoto will be in production then in 11 to 23 months from now. So that's what I was wanting to know. Just like with Elio, right now it's July, 18, 2020 for the first reservation holder but it'll be July 18, 2021 before I can walk into an Elio dealer and say, "Gimmie a blue one" then two days later one shows up at the dealer. In my mind, that's when you are really into production.

Even though Arcimoto has delivered multiple FUVs to cash paying early adopter reservation holders, in my mind Arcimoto is really into production when they white glove deliver FUV #297 to my address in mid to late summer 2019.
