This was the most informative Arcimoto video I have ever seen. No long winded tirades packed with big finance acronyms, just the facts and decent video of the actual factory floors. The suspension and control of the MLM on those sidewalk/road transitions was impressive.
Six a day now can mean 2000 vehicles for 2022. Ten times as many as last year. For the inevitable nit picker trolls who will bitch about riding a bike on the sidewalk - Arcimoto has a special filming vehicle with a rear facing seat. The driver was looking ahead for the safety of any potential walkers on the sidewalk, so don't go there.
@@popeyegordon Arcimoto has a 4 day work week (10 hours / day). So 24 per week for 26 weeks equals 624 plus what has been produced so far will get us over the 1,000 mark. Assuming they don't go broke for lack of financing.

Fabulous job Mark and Team! These frequent updates are excellent and provide a lot of insight into the current status of Arcimoto. I feel like the train has left the station and is starting to pick up some serious speed. Bonus points for introducing and highlighting Team members in these updates.
Tuning cadence on MLM is great! When I bike commute, I always am in a higher gear pumping slower but harder than is considered "best", but I just can't crank as fast as "bike experts" say you should. Super happy to hear I'll be able to turn it down to match my own style!

6 a day! Great work everyone. Once you ten a day the stock will start heading the right direction. This type of exposition on your focus on automation and ramping is perfect. Bravo.
@@FreddyHuman Because the sales channel is not developed yet. They can't afford to take all of the cost of max production without sell-through. This level of ramping up is wise. They will be at 24 in twelve months, and that pays the overhead (break even).
The box can be part of a modular system too. But many of us want the streamlining. I just wanted room for camping gear but at $5000 extra, despite the fact they save the cost of the rear seat and harness, it was too much. I removed my rear seat and tie-wrapped in some heavy cargo netting to form a large bin and still have the locking trunk. I saved the removed hardware too - the seat is about 65 pounds all told. I could feel the difference in pep.
@@2nd3rd1st Always. My first camping trip was 2 years long, 50,000 miles in an old Chevy van packed in 1974 with backpacking and climbing gear, across the west to all the national parks. Canoe on top, total freedom. I avoided everything made by the hand of man, especially cities. I shared many a camp fire with travelers like me. That was before everything was so trampled and crowded and there were no park entrance fees. I climbed the highest mountains in 6 states, experienced earth quakes and snow storms, explored Death Valley in winter when it rained and everything bloomed. Had to run off many a bear. Hiking the wilderness beaches of Washington was great. My quest was to be as close as possible to nature's many flavors while seeking spiritual enlightenment and it worked, years of intense study of Zen Buddhism paid off. In old age I'm limited to state campgrounds with power for my CPAP.

@@chizle882 Yes. Even 100 pounds is a big deal. They can adjust the firmware for more stingy power output and use a better battery to increase range. Those models will have a lower price too. I'll consider trading in my FUV when the warranty expires.

Great job with the video.... It would be great to see a part 2 with employees showing off the different vehicles in a small parade (Like those guys in little cars with funny hats)
Here we have another great video, giving us a meet and greet of Arcimoto staff. I love this format as well Mark. Great JOB..., looking forward to seeing the next.
Aw man this is such good stuff. I’ll be buying more shares before end of q. Sign in video said 350 jobs for 50,000 production??? That’s incredible. How many are working on the RAMP currently?
Nice tour and very informative. Ilika in the U.K. is developing solid state batteries for EV's, perhaps Arcimoto should look at them if they haven't already.
Haven't commented in forever. Tough to watch, being in Massachusetts. But love the progress!! There still isn't anything in production that comes close to what you guys are doing. And do I spy a few pairs of Vibram Five Fingers??? Love mine!
You should send the MLM to the White House. Not only it will be good for advertising but it will be safe for the president to ride. It will also carry the message of being an American made product.
Good intentioned comment. Upvoted. For a second there I thought this would be the usual trolling of conservative haters. He could literally sit still and pedal while taking media questions. That video would be seen globally.
Thanks for the comprehensive update! I wonder how the battery pack is cooled? Is additional cooling necessary? Are on-board temps monitored and performance adjusted for battery safety? So many questions.... Thanks!
This is actually pretty good news! 6 a day ... that is 12x4x5x6 = 1440 a year production atm. (Rough estimate assuming the factory is producing every work day.) Assuming each vehicle is sold for $9k that is a turnover of $13m a year. But 6 a day ... is the current situation. We can be sure it will be improved much more the coming months.
In the recent investor call they clarified that they're targeting 6/day for 4 days a week. Also need to account for issues/holidays - which probably puts them right around 1000/year. Maybe double that with double shifts (12/day targeted for Q4+ 2022)
Don’t assume even half of these go to retail purchases. Most will likely be earmarked for rentals so cash flow is impacted depending on the ownership of the rental store.
@@benmaloy His math skills lag behind his good wishes. $18K is the base price and most get options. Mine was $22K with paint and trunk, plus cross country delivery and state tax.
Its a nice video Mark, but i think the shareholders should get some explanations about how you are stating that you are making 6 FUVs a day and yesterday you just delivered (produced?) 109 for the last quarter (Q2). more transparency and details would be appreciated, thanks, Ben.
Arcimoto is dealing with all the same pandemic/war economy issues the other companies are. There is nothing wrong with honestly saying that on a good day with no parts shortages or new Covid cases they have an assembly line that can produce 6 a day. I do not expect Arcimoto to post a video update every day just so they can satisfy unreasonalble demands from you. The daily/ weekly/monthly production numbers will continue to be less predictable than they were before the pandemic. The exact same challenges are being seen by all US vehicle makers. Check on the line output of Chevy or Ford vs. the stated capacity under ideal circumstances for those lines. I am an FUV owner who could care less about stock shares. I earned all my money with real labor, not by sponging off of factory workers by buying stock shares.
Great update 👍 I was really surprised you are only doing six a day! It looks like all the components are way ahead if assembly stage so what is the issues to getting more completed per day? Wishing you all the best.
Six a day can mean 2000 vehicles for 2022. Ten times as many as last year. These are averages icluding temporary parts shortages and a pandemic. 'Chain as strong as its weakest link'... The second shift has started. They won't hit 30,000 next year but might come close. By that time brand awareness will be big and national. For now, only two of the several hundred people who stop to talk to me know about Arcimoto. One flagged me down.
Arcimoto has a 4 day work week. 6 a day means 24 per week. They should meet the 1,000 goal for this year, but that is about it until more automation and the new 1.x design. The balance sheet looks horrible. But, the products look great. I am hoping to hear an announcement about some large investor or other long-term financing that will put the money issues to rest. If they can get through the next 12 months, I see blue skies ahead.
@@ricknplano1401 Idle speculation. There are currenty two shifts and if needed a weekend shift of three 12 hour days is possible. You also ignore the ever increasing automation which can theoretically work 24/7. I present facts, not gossip. Lots of investments in automation and some are already online.
Thanks for the update. 120+ FUVs a month. When does that grow to 120 a week? What island in Hawaii? When do the MLMs start being produced. The problem with answers is they generate so many more questions.
Arcimoto establishes a mobile service team for each state first. HI would be limited to ferry serviced islands which means most. You can only drive one at a time so you don't need 120, just one. I waited 2 years for mine.
@@popeyegordon There is no ferry service in Hawaii. That would mean competition and we don't want that in the land of Aloha. I'm curious which island there is going to be the rental service?
@@unclegeorge7845 "There is currently one passenger ferry service remaining in Hawaii, from the island of Maui (Lahaina) and Lanai (Manele). The route is operated daily by Expeditions, a company based in Lahaina." Wikipedia I think it will be the big island's deep sea port where these are unloaded and they have to get to other islands somehow, in the same way cars are found on many islands.
@@unclegeorge7845 I visited 3 of your islands 30 years ago. I was thinking of barge ferries if the mobile mechanic thinks he will need to bring his truck along. Most of their tools fit in just a couple bags. Laptop for diagnosis. Everything in your state is more expensive. I don't know how you do it if you are not rich. At least your homeless have mild weather.
I imagine the marketing peeps have dreams about getting a matt black/gold Arcimoto into the next James Bond film. And the occasional nightmare of what Mark will say if the Aptera guys beat them to it...🤭 [For the record: I'm kidding.]
I'm guessing they are too small to interest any battery company in custom sized and packaged batteries that fit the FUV. But probably a plus, since making their own batteries could reduce cost, especially when they automate (as they mentioned in the video for future mass production).
They wer using pouch cell batteries. The video shows a new design they are testing out. If performance is good, then they make big orders or make 'em from scratch.
4 days a week at 50 weeks to account for holidays brings an estimated days of production to 200/year. I predict half will be sold and half will be used for debt financed cashflow on rental fleet. Lots of potential scenario modeling.
@Tezla 2013 Yeah, I do. Are you new at this? 365 as days per year? $120,000 per day in revenue? They are renting a portion of those which complicates nailing down the actual rev number.
Stop lying to your shareholders about the true daily production rate. "6 per day" when you produced just over 100 Arcimotos in Q2? This does not add up, even with 4 production days a week and speeding up to that rate throughout the quarter. This really eats at your credibility, unfortunately.

Never gonna happen. No 3 seater FUV. You actually have a valid excuse to own a car. Buy the Organic Transit ELF for NYC. There has been a fleet of them as pedicabs for a while.
Mark Frohnmayer can't do this. His history has been to funnel investor funds into R&D. I'd love to work for him in that capacity, I'm sure he's a very nice guy. As for ramping up production and actually delivering vehicles to customers, after over a decade of burning investors money, I don't see how that's going to happen under his leadership.

Stop lying to your shareholders about the true daily production rate. "6 per day" when you produced just over 100 Arcimotos in Q2? This does not add up, even with 4 production days a week and speeding up to that rate throughout the quarter. This really eats at your credibility, unfortunately.
yeah so frustrated with the number of delivery....
Arcimoto is dealing with all the same pandemic/war economy issues the other companies are. There is nothing wrong with honestly saying that on a good day with no parts shortages or new Covid cases they have an assembly line that can produce 6 a day. I do not expect Arcimoto to post a video update every day just so they can satisfy unreasonalble demands from you. The daily/ weekly/monthly production numbers will continue to be less predictable than they were before the pandemic. The exact same challenges are being seen by all US vehicle makers. Check on the line output of Chevy or Ford vs. the stated capacity under ideal circumstances for those lines. I am an FUV owner who could care less about stock shares. I earned all my money with real labor, not by sponging off of factory workers by buying stock shares.
It looks a little staged guys - but still enjoyed it lol
There may be some corny bits in there for your entertainment :-)
LOL - Thanks. PS - Whatever happened to those Arcimotos in Auckland, New Zealand (where I'm from). And when might we see an MLM down-under plse?
MLM: PLEASE PLEASE Two seater, 500lb payload, affordable and legal without license in New York. also for FUV, three seater. PLEASE PLEASE
Never gonna happen. No 3 seater FUV. You actually have a valid excuse to own a car. Buy the Organic Transit ELF for NYC. There has been a fleet of them as pedicabs for a while.
Get a Tuk Tuk! I have seen as many as six skinny Indians and a goat in one of those. Or, a 250cc motorcycle with four people!
@@rambido Not legal in the USA. This US video is about a US company selling a US product.
Mark Frohnmayer can't do this. His history has been to funnel investor funds into R&D. I'd love to work for him in that capacity, I'm sure he's a very nice guy. As for ramping up production and actually delivering vehicles to customers, after over a decade of burning investors money, I don't see how that's going to happen under his leadership.
