Not disagreeing with you. My Rubicon has power windows. It is a single plug on each door. Adds 30-45 seconds to removal or installation of doors.

out of curiosity, how much weight does that add to the door compared to the ones without?

[Anonymous.]

I just looked up how much a window regulator weighs in a jeep. It is just over 3 pounds with the motor attached. So if you add brackets and a window switch? You are maybe talking 6 more pounds per door? So nothing.

[Just the facts]

According to Jeep, the power doors on a Gladiator weight 60 pounds each. Not sure what an unpowered door weights. On Youtube it takes about 5 minutes to remove a powered Gladiator door with many people reporting that they damaged their doors, mainly for not pulling their mirrors in first.

Anyhow, YouTube has lots of videos for anyone interested.

I think everyone should ask themselves do they want to Chinese cars to eclipse American? Because the leadership in China saw that most of the world wasn't investing in EV's so they invested in it and are the largest EV market in the world.

Tesla is good but other American companies need to invest in EVs this is about competition and even jobs. If they don't invest EVs they export less and we have fewer jobs here. Some companies may not make it and only the strongest will survive. But shrugging your shoulders and saying "well they're gonna lose all their money and let's not invest in evs."

Look at who produces the most trains in the world. As of now who is building the most nuclear reactors? Who has the largest ports? The most subway systems? We didn't invest and we got passed up. This is about evs plus about other sectors of the economy where we do not invest.

Is that as bad at it looks? Not very well versed in start up investments.

[fortpatches]

Not that great.
But this next 1-2yrs will be their make or break. They will be accelerating their manufacturing this year and just brought on a new CEO with similar experience.

> Mr. Damoa has held critical leadership positions at early start ups and well-established corporations. His history includes Flight Module Logistics Management at SpaceX, Integration Project Manager at Northrop Grumann, Vice President at Romeo Power Technology, Vice President at XOS Trucks, Logistics & Safety Director at Canoo, and VP of Operations at Serial 1 Cycle Company.

I actually got a few hundred shares. Like I might lose $200 but I figure they will go up from where they are. Plus they are investing in the area so I support that.

I did same $560 for 1000 shares. I donate more than that to the tribal casinos on a night out so dont mind the gamble.

"The electric vehicle startup Canoo missed a key deadline and lost out on a deal to reap up to $10 million in state incentives from Oklahoma after failing to start construction on a factory in Pryor.

And the company could forfeit the right to collect millions more in state money if it doesn’t finalize the purchase of an Oklahoma City plant later this year, according to documents obtained by The Frontier."

“Aquila said the company hopes to get cars off the assembly line in Oklahoma City by the end of 2023 and has already begun moving manufacturing equipment there. But one analyst predicts the company will only produce a “modest” number of vehicles this year.”

Quote from their earnings call last week yet now we hear they haven’t even finalized the purchase of the old TEREX facility. Full disclosure I’m a shareholder here but this is turning into a smoke & mirror game real quick.

annd it's gone.

Startup struggles are understandable, but there is a massive gap between what this company keeps saying and what they actually do.

[jerrywall]

I figure there will be more EV failures than successes, so I'm not totally surprised here. It's rather disappointing though, and at this point it's hard to take any positive Canoo news seriously.

[jedicurt]

exactly. like all of the statements about OKC assembly means nothing until they at least finalize a purchase of a facility to perform the assembly

They do have a location in Pryor that they currently occupy and are building out.

Where’s the photos of that? Something more than a sign and some land clearing would be more exciting.

There are outside and inside photos with the TW article.

KOTV has inside and outside video. The video from inside shows a lot of huge crates that have been delivered and not opened yet.

The larger facility is planned in Mid-America, no? That article implies the current facility and larger one will be in two separate areas so I am confused here. I do remember reading that but haven’t heard much sense. You’d think they want to better publicize their progress with pictures of construction all over social media.

[Zuplar]

Channel 9 just ran a piece at their 5pm newscast that said they acquired a plant. Are they talking about the altered facility? Did they finally close on this or is this Canoo PR trying to save face?

[Pete]

I just checked the Canadian County Assessor site and the Terex property has not changed hands.
