OOOOOOh how exciting. Tony in Washington was contacted to ask about color. Which means that his is coming pretty soon. Don't know if Tony S is on this group but if he isn't ....

On facebook a second future owner was also contacted about choosing a color, but so far no one has mentioned being asked for final payment.

Mark F. must be getting very close to hitting the start button on the retail Evergreen Edition assembly line. Perhaps an official announcement the first official workday in June. I am curious about the anticipated number of FUVs scheduled to roll out per day/week once they start assembly.

I was contacted about color(posted on that group on FB). I saw Tony mention he is #38 in line for the Evergreen, with their target being July-August for him initially. That’s pretty damn disappointing(but deep down, not surprising) to me if true!
I emailed arcimoto to ask my number and what the current estimate for me is. Will update all when I hear back.

The time has come for Arcimoto to formally announce the planned assembly and delivery schedule for the first 100 Evergreen Editions, to avoid confusion and disappointment.

I got the email, too. Was told "...begin FUV Evergreen Edition deliveries in June..." I'm somewhere between #10-#20 in the Evergreen list. (I asked for confirmation about the exact number, haven't heard back yet.)

They also said that for a "Custom Shop" design, "our designer will be reaching out in the next 30 days." - which seems like an awfully long time too "reach out" if my actual delivery is supposed to be within the next 31 days...

I suspect (guess) the first 2-5 will be done by the end of June/early July. They will slowly accelerate production over time. Which might explain #10-#20 not getting started until July.

We shouldn’t have to guess and speculate regarding production numbers and delivery schedules at this point in time.

It’s reasonable to expect 4-5 units per day/ minimum 20 units per week single shift and 5 weeks to roll out the June/July delivery of the first 100 Evergreens. 20 units per week equates to a rather low production start of 1004 units per year, 20% of the production scaled 5000 units in 2020. Numbers less than that don’t equate to a tooled manufacturing plant, but rather a custom shop handbuilding vehicles at a profit loss.

I consider the first 100 to be guinea pigs for ironing out production issues and figuring out efficiencies. Maybe next year they will know # of products per day but not really as much this year. You may have missed Mark F talking about how production will start slow at 2 days PER station and continually increase speed with quality control until it is 10 minutes per station.

Thanks, I did miss that! My enthusiasm has diminished as a result of the recent speculation.
