Took 2 hours to get my tag at MD motor vehicles, apparently MD spelled Arcimoto without the "i"  and it couldn't be found in the computer.
But I've got my tag and took it for a short run today.
If anyone has a suggestion for doors I would love to hear it.
God bless all FUVers!!

Hi there, new to forum and didn't see anything about this. I seem to notice a slow but steady discharge when the FUV is just parked (no temperature change). I would hazard a guess its about 1% per day or two. With the exception of Teslas which have a high self discharge rate and can not be left without being plugged in most other EVs show very little discharge when off and I usually leave my EVs around 40-50% if storing for 4-8 weeks.

But it seems with the Arcimoto that won't be a great idea. I know manual says just leave it plugged it and let it manage itself, so that is what I will do over winter. But ideally it would have been great to leave around 50% for "ideal" conditions.

Anyone else notice this and what do you tend to do?

To date we have driven almost 500 miles, most in and around town. Ventured out today for a warm weather “backroad” road trip which ended up being 37 total miles. All flat ground. Started with a full 90% charge and those 37 miles, mostly at 50-55 mph, brought us down to 37% remaining charge. The literature suggests 66 road miles or 100 around town miles are available on the FUV. Seems like most advertising, a bit of an exaggeration. It is clear that to go anywhere near the represented available distance you would need to use extended range mode. We were just curious about the experience of others in terms of how far they felt they could drive on a single charge.

Arcimoto founder arrested on suspicion of DUII 3 weeks before company removed him as CEO (Oregonian news link.)

I wonder if the Oregonian reached out for comment on the second story, so Arcimoto replaced him before the go-live on the DUII story?

After three years with the black ripstop-nylon soft doors, my FUV's hard doors are finally installed, and the (vinyl) design is complete!

  

Hail Cascadia!

(Just waiting on the transport from factory back home.)

After nearly a year of waiting, I'm finally getting scheduled to replace my rag-doors with hard doors.

Kind of conflicted - the rag doors are fun simple things, with storage pockets, that are quick to remove when desired, quick to put back on, and light and breezy for summer use. (Or spring/fall when you may drive through puddles, but don't want full doors.) But, sadly, the mounting mechanism is apparently different, so I won't be able to keep my soft doors when they put the hard doors on.

The hard doors *are* removable, but not nearly as easily. And the hard doors definitely will make the vehicle look "more finished". Plus, the upcoming soft-vinyl-window uppers will be compatible with the hard half doors, allowing for a Jeep-like "full door" for winter use when they start shipping the uppers without needing to replace the entire doors again.

As for the delay? The biggest delay for me personally has been the fact that I have one of the few silver-body FUVs. They switched to only black as the base color a while ago, so they've only been forming black doors for now. But they finally got the silver set up to match the silver on the early-shipped FUVs, so they're making the batch of silver doors now.

That, and I'll be getting a custom vinyl design, which is stalling it by a couple more weeks. (If I just wanted plain silver doors, I'd have it done next week.)

Sorry, but the "EV but not FUV" area of the forum seems to be broken, so ...

A couple of weeks ago when I was driving through my neighborhood (SF Bay Area) and saw an ElectraMeccanica Solo parked in somebody's driveway. My head whipped around so fast that I almost got whiplash !! Apparently they have finally started customer deliveries. 5-6 years after they were supposed to be shipping. (originally).

Also, I have seen TWO Rivian EV pickups in the past month. 

I am hoping that 2022 will be the breakout year for EVs. Ford pretty much stole everybody's thunder with their announcement of the F150 EV *at virtually the same price* as the gas version.

basically here are a few scientific facts FUV enthusiasts might want to share

Yesterday a friend has washed my FUV (what are friends for..) using a small pressure washer (yeah, I know grrr).  Since then I have not been able to ride.
it will turn on, go through the start-up procedure. And that is all.  It shows the wrong charge, has the 12V batttery indicator in red, does not move from neutral to drive or
reverse, shows 78% charge when it was 90% before the wash, does not take charge if you plug it in. 
I did a hard reset 3 times.  That did not do it.  Any ideas anybody please?  I am in tears here.

Greetings,  I have a 6’X10’ V front enclosed cargo trailer that is set up for hauling an FUV (or Deliverator) that I am selling.  It’s pretty much the smallest enclosed trailer that an Arcimoto will fit in.   I now have a small tilting flatbed trailer which is easier to tow G2D2 with our Tesla.  I’m asking $3,000.00
