Elio Ordering Continue After Production Starts

[RUCRAYZE]

So if I don't pre-order a vehicle and just wait to go to the store to buy one, how much longer am I going to have to wait to get one? I know everyone who pre-ordered is gonna get theirs first, and that's fine, but I'd just like an idea of how much longer I'll have to wait.

A very important determination- just how much and where will determine your purchase date-
If you go "all in" @ 1k you'll be about 15000 (about/don't know the exact number) and you'll know almost exactly your production number (fleet sales and drop-outs will make your SIL a small variable)
If you go $100.00 "want in" you're at the end of all the reservationists- about 50,000/60k.
I go with the posts above to estimate time frames
If you are considering it, keep in mind the incentives will probably evaporate at a future date.
All the best whatever your decision.

And this is where some people will be making some money; selling the ones that come out early for a mark up.
Personally I wouldn't do it; I've waited this long and want to enjoy it (if being the envy of a few happens, oh well <hehehehehh>)

I don't feel that "Fleet Sales" will have any effect on the mfg. rate for a long time.

They already have a couple of fleet sales added into the 49,017 total; they consider it a fleet sale if 5 or more are ordered at one time, or by the same person. The EM tour group did mention that they have an "eastern country" that is very interested in buying a bunch of them as soon as they figure out what they have to do for international sales. (The one that wants a bunch, probably wants to give each wife one )

Hmm 49,017 I wonder when they will reach 50,000?

As soon as the E-series go into testing which is publicized (any publicized testing but especially road testing), or, 25 weeks from now, which ever comes first.

might even be more if they have more than one wife.

I think they said that 29.3 orders a day is average; if that holds true, it would be 8 months.
Once production locks in it's going to be a lot more than 30 a day; I would almost guess it would go to 100 per day average.

Last number I've seen was just north of 17,000 for "$1,000 all-in" reservations.

50,000 - 49,017 = 983 / 29 = 33.896551...

As in about 34 days.

50,000 - 49017 = 983 / 29 = 33.896551...

the figure for reservations that I was given a couple of weeks ago is a steady 40 per week. We have 1,000 to go, so... that' s 25 weeks. Unless something happens such as the testing mentioned above to goose it along. So that's the basis for my post. It's possible I misheard, and it's 40/day, in which case .... 25 days! Might be!
