Production volumes in the first months will be small. Existing capacities do not yet allow producing a large number of cars. But in the summer it is planned to launch a line at a new plant in Mesa, Arizona - its capacity will be 20 cars annually. According to management, construction has entered the final stage. The buildings are almost ready, at the moment the equipment is being delivered and installed. After the installation of the lines, they will begin to configure them.

The developers believe that the updated version will be in demand in courier services, as well as in companies where you need to quickly deliver small loads within the city. Due to its compactness and maneuverability, transport ensures the speed of transportation at minimal cost, since electricity is much cheaper than fuel. They said that in the summer of 2021, several units were successfully tested in delivery services and collected a lot of positive feedback.
The standard version has been shipping to customers since October 2021. The company intends to further improve its cars, but does not plan to deviate from the concept of a compact three-wheeled vehicle. The fact that you don't need a standard driver's license to drive has widened the range of buyers. Tests have shown that stability and controllability meet established standards.
