Both evolved. The 2015 Bug is more feature loaded than my first car a '59 VW Bug. I wish I had that '59 Bug today with an electric retrofit.The Model T and air cooled Bug both eventually stopped production. Does that mean they were failures?

Just take the number 1000 works to built the engine. from what I have read it appears that was not given much though yet. Even if ELIO could setup a production line to build the engine in record time with all the equipment need. You do not just walk out the door and hire 1000 people walk them in and start training them then go to production. Many companies today it takes 2-6 months before you even get an interview. Back round checks paper work.PE, "Thank God, I don't think things through", not so funny.
The good news is now Paul Elio has time to plan, there is additional space available at the GM Plant and Shreveport would no doubt welcome the additional jobs. It's all about funding and timing to production, whenever that may be (not 2016).
Apparently, you have trouble 'reading' .... "BAD NEWS -if- Elio's Business plan does not account for the salaries of an additional 1,000 workers!" Just a very valid possibility to consider.... since the CEO did not seem to be aware of it! But then he did not seem to know that the color 'BLUE' was no longer in the voting for the P5's color. PE: "11:50 p.m. EST this evening, July 2. Please vote for red or blue! I don't want white!"interesting ...... a person ask a question and gets an honest answer .... then that person twist the answer by adding their own comments in an effort to prove their point .... from what you report he says it will take an estimated 1,500 workers to build the trike .... he also says the that number doesn't include the number needed to produce the motors .... its a jump from there to saying that the cost for the additional number of folks needed to assemble the engine hasn't been included in EM's business plan .... folks who take the truth and twist it like this make it easy to see why its usually best for EM to not release any info
Perhaps you can provide 'documentation' to the contrary, but if you look at their 'financials' released to Caddo Parrish, -- http://cleantechnica.com/2013/08/19/paul-elio-motors-releases-financials/ --, on sheet 15 they have only ONE slot for "PowerTrain Engineer", and the "New Hires" don't begin until month seven (7), too late for engines in the first Elios. When Paul Elio, himself, admits that his 1,500 workers DOES NOT include the engine assembly; .... doubts SHOULD be raised!so what ???? .... presenting what in your opinion is "Just a very valid possibility to consider" is designed to create doubt/uncertainty without any proof that that the circumstances being discussed have any basis in fact .... what if'n can be a fun game but without supporting facts is it nothing more than a that
doubts SHOULD be raised!
