Hope he pulls the 1st prototype timetable off. It's possible using a real deal prototype builder. I'm eager to see if the in wheel motor is the right tech for a three wheeler.

One of them "folds up" for reduced parking size. Crazy or the future? Who knows.

New lithium battery looks promising. Its a solid state design with greater capacity and fast charging.

These guys in their white shirts and spotless/organized shop appear to be professional state of the art prototype builders. The Sondors prototype is on the build. SONDORS Facebook showing daily progress of the prototyping......design, engineering, and build. Now that's Momentum. Impressive so far for the short period of time since the $1 Million of funds raised for the prototype build.

I like how they taped the drawing to the side.

"Hey guys, can you build a prototype for me? I go this here pencil sketch of this cool looking thing I came up with..."

This 3 wheeler, 3 seater EV with the estimated MSRP in the $10K range is starting to peak my interest.

This might be a suitable contender for the ATVM loan, it is just remotely possible that anything 'internal combustion' was a non starter anyhow, unless some revolutionary new vehicle that somehow eclipsed parking and traffic issues. Our Elio, at the end of the day, still a tight two seater, at possibly 65 to 85 mpg still needs an entire conventional parking space, and if successful, may even make traffic worse by being relatively so affordable.
