Hello everyone, time to put on your thinking caps: Have you read facebook/eliomotors today?
Big news: IAV is the new tranny manufacturer...replacing AISIN, does that mean the smart AMT transmission?
EM says: Hey jerry, the P4 is what you are looking at, we DO NOT HAVE a P5.
Caddo commissioner Ken Epperson said the delay did not have any thing to due with EM. (think about that)
Every 3rd or 4th comment on facebook was elio motors, many times begging for money!
One person mentioned the start of production was January 2015, and EM did not bother to correct him.
Why do you think EM is still begging for money when they know they will never get enough from reservations to meet production cost.? Is the money ONLY going to the tour people and to ESG Engineering, paul elios other company?
This week, EM and paul elio is deciding and trying to figure out if the elio is a car, a motorcycle or a ????????????.
Many companies produce a vehicle, and then the second year make some changes, and then the third year, the product is complete. In 2012 EM could have had the Hyundai kappa 1.0 3 cylinder and tranny., or a Suzuki alto, and said this.
(BTW, This is what I would have done!)
"The first 50,000, 2012, elios will have the Hyundai kappa 1.0 engine (see the video by the way, I hope IAV has a video) while we develop our own motors. The price of the first 50,000 elios will be $14,995 and be built in michigan..We will be looking for a much larger plant in 2014.." Reserve now!
You have to have a PHd to get through this stuff....ah, that's piled higher and deeper of course..
my question to you is, would you buy a elio for $14,995 if you could have been driving it today.? What say you?

So I was looking at my boat trailer today, and was thinking it would be perfect for trailering an Elio if you were to place three pieces of U channel steel in place of the carpeted rails. 1 pieces of U channel down each side rail, and 1 U channel down the middle. Then you could back your Elil onto the trailer and hook it up to your tow vehilce. Sorry for changing the subject. Just thinking out load.
