Hi Guys!
Just to clear up some of the above:
We are indeed planning a Spring Celebration (Get AMPed!) here at the factory on June 9. We have invited all Signature Series customers to come celebrate with us and (potentially) take delivery of their vehicle. PAX, you should have received that invitation as well. If not, let us know!
The announcement of the event should hit the email list this week.
On numbering: Signature Series #3 was purchased by a dear friend of the company and community who has since passed. It was moved to #9 while we worked with their estate to determine where it would go. So while it was originally #3, it is not currently. I will respect CreativeGuy’s privacy and let him choose to disclose that individual’s identity if he so chooses.
The actual current sequence is #0 = Mark Frohnmayer, #1 = Nathan Fillion, #2 & #3 = Marketing vehicles (so we can continue putting our best foot forward for test drives and events, and display options development), #4 & #5 = Engineering vehicles (for testing and proving new systems - latest motor upgrades, longer-range battery pack, revised steering mechanism), #6 - #9 = customer vehicles. So PAX is getting #6, but it is actually our third customer vehicle.
On the trailer hitch, we have heard you all and put it in front of engineering to consider prioritizing it higher on the options list. There are quite a few details that need to be worked out in order for us to offer something that meets our safety and performance standards: hitch placement and attachment mechanism, type of connection to trailer, trailer wheelbase and weight limits, and effects on range and maneuverability. All that to say, it’s still on the list but will not be available June 9. It is something that we can likely retrofit later if desired.
Loving the enthusiasm on this thread. Thanks for the support everyone!
