That was many moons ago. The original intent was to remove it to aid in installing our vinyl decal, but in the end it wasn't that bad to just install in-situ, so, no need to remove.

Telo Trucks has potential too, again, more likely to get to market than Canoo. https://www.telotrucks.com/pre-order?view=build

we still have them, just not allowed to sell them via the website. A link should appear in my sig below:

yeah, the UK effort was also a bit weird. The space they had in Bicester was a whopping 486sqft, i.e. the size of an average living room. Not clear if the gear they acquired from Arrival at 20c on the $ ever made it to OK, allegedly it was about 20 containers worth of robots and other...

That's exactly what's happening. Don't forget his family company (AFV) was the only one with tier 1 debt in Canoo, so he'll be paid before all the other suppliers, and since AFV owns most of the buildings in OK (largely funded with grants, then leased to Canoo), it's not a huge stretch to get...

color me surprised. https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/05/canoos-ceo-is-buying-the-bankrupt-ev-startups-assets/

$15k, sheesh. Not surprised, but man, my first 10 cars were all well under that! Glad the emblems were of use though!

Buy a piece of 'history'...: https://auction.biditup.com/lot-details/index/catalog/4/lot/568/Canoo-Van?url=%2Fauctions%2Fcatalog%2Fid%2F4

Interesting. I'd made an assumption they'd not changed, and they certainly look the same from a distance, but as I think I mentioned, the Gen 1 hooks are extremely robust and weighty...it would make sense that if they're trying to cut cost or weight, they might have had a trim down. That said...

I can at least answer the go-live date. I've always had issues with Wayback, not sure they take scans when there's just a minor change in terms of content. Shopify is essentially a glorified CMS, so I suspect Wayback only notices when there's more material changes to layouts.

I suspect they'll be back, as a private company, wholly owned by AFV (the CEO's personal company, which also happens to own the manufacturing facility on OK and the tier 1 debt that will be the first to be repaid, if there is any money left). Chapter 7 will get things wound up quickly, most...

Pre-hook covers, but freshly wrapped at the time. Love a satin PPF.

Going off track, but this is why we wrapped ours in satin PPF. Washed weekly more or less, and nothing to worry about.

Are we one of the "big" EV accessory companies?? If so, I'm flattered, but we're really not. Mostly just me and the missus and a couple of other people helping with support tickets, but at our hearts we've still EV fans, the business is something of a happy coincidence. No VC money here! I...

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what happens to those. They were bought and paid for by NASA (3 @ $148k total), so the contract was fulfilled, but if there's no support or updates to the vehicles, wonder if they'll continue to use them. They're not doing anything particularly complex, and they...

Unfortunately, the bulk of USPS delivery vehicles are from Oshkosh Defense, and they look like something one of the early AI graphics generators would create. Canoo sold a whopping six vehicles to USPS, and they were delivered, and have been spotted in use in the Atlanta area. Not sure if...

Risk taking is good, that's how we progress, but the way Tony was doing it over at Canoo was extremely hedged, the risks were all taken with other people's money (and livelihoods). I did want them to succeed, but the pivot from subscription model to traditional sales was badly managed (resulting...

Very different leadership styles comparing Canoo to Rivian. Tony generally likes to think of himself as a mini-Musk (or more of an equal) and frequently name-drops other (actual) tech leaders into conversations as if they're besties. The last 6 months has seen Canoo limping along mostly under...

What @sherold said. You don't want to fully remove them unless you have to, so heat up, push into the right spot, and if needed, find something (Blu-tac, gaffer tape, basically anything to stop it drifting back to where it was) to hold the new location until the adhesive re-settles.

We still are, just offline. Link in sig below.
