More betas than you can shake a stick at!

These popped up on Twitter today:





That's NINE FUVs all in a neat row, at least five of which I have never seen before, even in pictures! And that's more complete FUVs than I have ever seen in a single photo.

Here's the original Twitter thread:

Exciting times!

25 Betas scheduled, IIRC.  Then they are approaching the halfway point in Beta production, including what's been delivered to Hula.

Oops.  15 Betas, then 25 Pilots.  Looks like production updates and revisions are causing the schedule to slip.  We are about to enter the 4th Quarter and they are not done with Beta production.  I'm thinking it may be 3rd quarter 2019 at the earliest before I can order mine, unless consumer model daily production numbers ramp up very fast.

I don't know - it was a couple weeks ago that someone mentioned that betas 10 and 11 were rolling. They appear to have been producing about two a week recently, so they could easily still be on schedule (albeit by a pretty slim margin).

I'm sure we'll find out.

The Beta phase takes longer due to tweaks/changes based on testing and meeting certification requirements.  The Pilots should be the fine tuned/locked in specs production model.  If parts are inventoried, the assembly line is tooled, tried and tested for production scale the Pilots should roll out much faster. 2019 is looking bright for Team Arcimoto.

Hey look! I was right for once:
