Momentum V71 - Hvac

[Coss]

Red Dot in Seattle; they know their stuff! They were doing HVAC for Peterbuilt, Freightliner and a couple of others.
They do a lot of truck and car units, plus a lot of commercial building HVAC.
Friend of mine used to work there; I'll have to see if he's still there; would be great for a little "added info".
Now I just have to remember his last name It's been 10 years since I last talked to him.
I'll let you know how I do.

That was my thought also...........????????????


Since it's going to HVAC....it MAY NOT have a tranny in it (no need for useless parts)

Actually it needs to be tested in a car under load so yes it has a tranny.

So, the BIG question can I see it here (in Seattle)??

RedDot is down in the SODO Industrial area; so south of Starbucks Corp office, about a mile and onto the big warehouses.

Is it just me, or does the tail light look smaller? Also, I notice they have ignored my suggestion to lower the license plate position to allow for a name plate above it. Oh, well.....

What really interests me about this is some design changes to the car. Note the smoother side / rear plastics, and the blacked-out "bulge". I have brightened this picture a fair amount and made it slightly larger than it was in Elio's mailing in order to make the details more visible.

Also, what's up with E1-B? We know about E1-C -- it's the marketing / model car.

Or... Is the bulge simply disconnected, taken off, and not there at all while shipping? That's what it looks like.

It does look smaller but I am not sure it really is. They would only change it for a handful of reasons -- lower cost, better areodynamics, lighter weight, or because some other structural change required that to change too.

Oh, yeah, and maybe it reminded paul of his grandfather's ID bracelet.

Might be that.

Who thinks the E1-C will be True Blue, I do I do.

Does anyone know what supplier has E1B and E1C?

 

[Coss]

Might be that.

That's almost looking like the P4 in that picture; I wonder if they used the wrong picture?
