Welcome Shawndae :)
1) Unknown
2) You will get to choose your color
3) The Elios will be first sent to regional distribution centers where the accessories that you choose will be installed, then delivered to your home.
4) n/a since will be delivered to my home & not doing 22 hours for the factory tour
5) Will be replacing my current car.

I didn't know there would be a home delivery on the reserved vehicles?

We don't yet have many details of how delivery will work for reservations holders however we have been told that home delivery and factory pickup would be at least some of our options. Another widely speculated delivery option is delivery to your nearest Pep Boys however that has not been confirmed by EM.

It is highly likely that Elio Motors is still working on the details of exactly what delivery options will be offered to reservation holders, and at what cost, as many of us will likely receive our vehicles before Elio Motors has their retail store network in place.

Ultimately the plan is for new Elio orders to be processed via a distribution center and delivered to your nearest Elio retail store as quickly as possible. From what EM has said home delivery will likely continue to be an option even after the stores are open which would enable someone to order a vehicle from ElioMotors.com and have it delivered straight to their home.

What I do know is that all panels for the same vehicle are typically painted together to avoid color variations as even minor variations in color are obvious between large panel sections.

This is very true. My 1999 Royal Enfield had parts painted independently and it resulted in one ugly mismatched shades of colors that I had to repaint to be happy with.

While they're not too practical, white or very light colors make an interior look larger. They're much better at reflecting heat in summer too. I think I still have the grill marks from getting into my '67 Mustang with black vinyl seats on an August afternoon - in shorts, no less. :eek:

It's good to have the top of the dash flat black so as to not reflect into the windshield.

This was a good find for me, the factory pick up would be very cool, however I will probably not take advantage of that. Noted I did not say never. I do like the home delivery method. I put my 1k in during the month of June 2014. I must think I am not in the first 10,000, which means to me that retail outlet may by then be established which is another option. I still favor an option of home delivery. Very cool.I have time to ponder options as well as give Elio Motors time to put their action plan in place.

Actually, Terrence, the last release had numbers between 5,000 and 6,000 so you and I should be below 10,000. :-) Z
