    Right when I placed my order, few days in I found out that all their vehicles was being recall. Smh. Hope they still do one seater for the commuter. I would definitely invest in one just to go work with. Nice car though.

      It was an a very cool car, but they are buying it back from us including the shipping cost tax and license fees. believe it or not they’re moving to a four wheel car and they’re going to have a two seater. They got a new CEO from GM and they’re changing their whole Outlook on vehicle.

    I would love a Solo, but I would need another vehicle for passenger.
    I wonder if the new one will try to make a longer 2 seater with passenger behind.
    A "Duo" would be very interesting:-)

      Yes, they picked the car up about a month ago and gave us a total refund. Although our car worked fine but it’s better to be safe than sorry they were having issues with them. Just turning off in the middle of running on the freeway. Good luck. Thanks for watching.

    The seat can be so low (no, I am not repeating the joke) because the battery is split on each side in the door sills. 17.4 kWh total, not very much but you don't need so much.

      Yes, actually the company is buying back of the cars including this one. They do have some bugs and problems with them I’m starting and apparently they will just turn off as you’re driving them which makes them unsafe. Their new CEO is from GM and they’re moving to a four wheel vehicle with two seats.
