I got there at about 4:00pm and there were about 15 people or less waiting to sit in P4... I don't know why I went... I know almost everything about the Elio..... because I check here, almost all the time... just to see what is happening... Pro's and Con's....
I guess I just needed to sit in it again... to remember how it feels to sit in a Elio... I am 6'2... 230lbs.... it just felt right... I can see myself driving this all over the US...
I was talking to a nice guy in line, who said he had placed a $1000 down and got a T-shirt... but he had no idea what his production number was???
I was surprised... and a little shocked... as was Neil... he laughed and said aah... the dreaded production number... Neil then told him that EM would contact him 60-90 days before his production date to get the list of options, color he wanted....
So I said that would mean I will be getting a call in about 10 months.... with a number of 2225... Neil just laughed again and said... just got to wait and see....
When I asked would I have to pay shipping charges, when I pick mine up at the plant, I was told at first " No "... then I was told by someone else yes... kind of.... not set in stone yet...
They did say that the E series Elio's....some of them would be made for just for testing, plus others for show and tell... all would be made at the same time... so it will not take 20 weeks to make them.... also hinted at plant opening in January for production starting in July... ( not a fact )
I don't know if this has helped the waiting... But... I am in for the long ride.... after all.... I am a member of the Elio Nation... like the rest of you....
Proud to Be.. member #2225Z of the Elio Nation.... see ya on the road...
