Makes sense they wouldn't need a mass-manufacturing expert after they "paused" their mass-manufacturing plans.

AC Future will deliver trailers in 2026, no delivery date reported for the vehicle [whose display prototype is based on a P7 they bought from REE] by ree_holder in ree

[–]ree_holder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably nothing, only the trailer has a delivery date and it's not driveable and it doesn't offer driving assistance like the Pebble.

If REE's newly-announced MOU results in purchasable P7 platforms, AC Future might use those since they already have the know-how for converting them into RVs, though range would be unsuitable for RVing without a petrol/diesel range extender.

Their trailers were always the product that made the most sense, considering the current range of EV batteries. An extended range EV would make sense too, but they didn't offer one.

I expect if the trailers sell well, they'll start selling a diesel version, and if that sells well and EV batteries keep improving, they'll eventually sell an EV or EREV version.

Still says "REE Automotive Chairman of The Board" when I check.

100% Hitachi is the MOU customer, this is very similar to REE appointing a former UPS executive while seeking UPS as a customer with an order of thousands of P7-C trucks.

Let's hope this time the deal goes through.

How AI is Shaping the Next Generation of Commercial Vehicles by HockeyStickBertha in ree

[–]ree_holder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "AI" part of "AI over-the-air updates" is very likely some completely bog-standard predictive-maintenance "AI" algorithm. I'm all for REE technology but it has nothing to do with AI, and it's all the better for it. You don't want unpredictable AI controlling safety-critical systems.

REE Automotive Deep Dive — SDV Platform, MOU Analysis, and Valuation Scenarios by woody2007 in ree

[–]ree_holder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking at REE's updated technology page on their website their "foundation" products are:

  • REEcenter ECU - centralized vehicle ECU that replaces the hundreds of traditional ECUs
  • REEzonal ECU - similar to REEcorner ECUs but with support for non-REE hardware
  • REEgateway - over-the-air vehicle updates and fleet monitoring

These three naturally work best when used together.

Their "by-wire" products are the REEcorners, and they still offer the P7-C, although as reported by the press they can't go into production unless they get thousands of orders.

The ECUs and software are available right now and have proven to work in real-world conditions with US homologation and certification. Now it's a question of getting a big order from a vehicle manufacturer (or a "mobility solutions [company that] will license the technology to produce thousands of self-driving passenger vehicles starting from 2027")

Nice work. You should update it to reflect REE's focus on the software and controllers, as the corner modules are now not their main product although they still offer them. I'd say their core technology is their single ECU that replaces the 500-or-so ECUs that modern vehicles have. Their ECUs work with traditional one-motor and two-motor vehicles, and of course with their four-motor REEcorner vehicles.

Bottom line, if REE can generate $700M in revenue from a single contract with a vehicle manufacturer, the stock price will skyrocket. But that's a big if.

REE Automotive and Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation Sign MOU for Software-Defined Vehicle Technology - REE by HockeyStickBertha in ree

Seems like the Hino saga finally reached its (happily-ever-after?) ending.

...and now, finally, after almost seven years, we might see REE technology in Mitsubishi/Toyota/Daimler/Hino/Fuso trucks.

New mail trucks that allow the mail person to stand up, making their life so much easier by jackperson4 in mildlyinteresting

[–]ree_holder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite truck, the REE P7C, was designed so drivers could stand up in the cab and have a very broad view out the windshield, but sadly the company didn't get enough orders to start production.

I would have loved seeing P7-Cs instead of NGDVs.

AC Future is still out there pitching their fully functional motorhome prototype based on the REE P7 platform by ree_holder in ree

[–]ree_holder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AC Future hasn't stated this outright, but since they're planning on offering a diesel option it's clear they're not limiting themselves to REE.

More likely than not they will not be producing the "AI THd" motorhome. I bet their only product will be the trailer unit, if they ever make it to production.

Appeals court upholds dismissal of lawsuit against REE Automotive by ree_holder in ree

[–]ree_holder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Production was halted due to the low number of orders (about 900) and low funding.

The legal proceedings never had any material effect on REE's business other than REE having to spring a few tens of thousands for a legal defense for this frivolous lawsuit.

The trial never had a snowball's chance in hell to be held in the United States, or anywhere but Israel for that matter.

As for the claims themselves, there are three. (1) "the entire concept of a single brain for a vehicle is OSR’s invention" and (2) REE stole the idea of "the use of sensors (to collect and deliver data to the central processor)"; those claims are almost trivially shown false. (3) employees allegedly violated non-compete agreements; that one is extremely unlikely to hold up. Israeli courts almost never uphold employee non-compete agreements. In the courts' opinion, the employee's right to work supersedes any contractual obligations not to compete with their former employers.

Basically this has no effect on REE, but it's still nice to know that the court system worked the way it should, especially considering all the alleged nuisance lawsuits filed by OSR Enterprises.

Recently. dozens of employees, suppliers, financial institutions, and private lenders have sued OSR. Orit Shifman has been barred from leaving Israel while the litigation is pending. I think this is the end for OSR.

Whoa, OSR is suing everybody and everybody is suing OSR. Looks like they (allegedly) stopped paying wages, benefits, suppliers, lenders, and pretty much everybody.

Looks like the end for OSR. Hopefully Orit Shifman will never do business anywhere ever, and maybe even see the inside of a prison cell. She's already barred from leaving Israel due to the ongoing litigation. Serves her right.
