6 Days Left on Fall 2023 Crowdfunding

October 25, 2023

There are 6 days left on our 2023 Fall Crowdfunding!

With your help, we are one step closer to finishing Excalibur. We want to thank you for your support throughout the past years of CalSol! The production of Excalibur is coming to an end. We are expecting Excalibur to start running within a few months and have it test drive through California. Excalibur is anticipated to be the fastest and the most efficient vehicle that CalSol has manufactured with its carbon fiber monocoque chassis and low coefficient of drag. We will be unveiling the car very soon to the public! Here is a sneak peek of Excalibur.

Currently, we have reached 80% of our crowdfunding goal, and we are hoping to push to exceed our goal by the end of this month. We are crowdfunding to cover the cost to finish manufacturing Excalibur and to start building our 11th generation vehicle. Our $8K goal will primarily go towards transportation fees and purchase of foundation materials for the new vehicle that we will be building. With your contribution, we can provide more opportunities for members to tackle hands-on design and manufacturing work and finish Excalibur to continue our legacy of success.

Once again, the donations are tax deductible with perks corresponding to the amount donated. Thank you for your continued support.
