My wife and I have been following various threads since January, since making a $100 non refundable reservation and 100 shares..

The one thing we want to put into the Elio universe is the lack of discussion about contacting our congressional district representatives and President Obama who signed on to the Regulation A+ Jobs Act. The DOE needs to know that the people, represented by our leaders want the Elio! Isn't $230,000,000 the amount of the ATVM loan, less than half of what Tesla got? Isn't this even more North American? This coming from the most apolitical person ever. Barely registered!

Thanks for listening to our first post! :

Hi- and welcome from Seattle WA, another state with legal weed!!
You've put up a great first post, and your concerns and insights are well received. How the plans actually get implemented is E M's (Elio Motors), responsibility, and we try to influence and assert pressure on our elected officials individually. There is much behind the curtain that we are not privy to, nor should we be. However, there are here very talented folks who know auto production, design, build, modify, know finances, robots, good jokes, and some who are interested in car races in which they always seem to be making only left turns.

not to worry about placement, the moderators "attempt" to keep the threads on track, and as you'll see, that's good for about 6-10 posts and the thread "roams". They will merge it if they see fit.

AGREED! Lights out for now!

An hour to modify the car (60 one minute stations would be overkill but I'll use it for emphasis. 15 four minute stations would make more sense and still be slow) anyway, back on point, One hour to do one car, an hour to load and 13 hours to deliver means it would be at the store at noon. Easy peasy.

Two cars would take one hour and one minute, 60 cars would take one hour and 60 minutes, etc...

So I guess you mean they would have miniature assembly lines at the marshaling centers to make the changes?
Interesting. These "assembly lines" would be much less expensive than in Shreveport and probably doable.

Welcome. Yes, we could lobby the President and Congressional reps, though Elio Motors has asked supporters not to conduct a letter writing campaign to pressure DOE on its ATVM loan decision.

Or EM could try to find out where the President's speaking engagements will be and sneak the P5 or a couple of the 100 pre-production units somewhere close within his field of view. The Elio is so distinctive it may just catch his attention. Or maybe park one where Michelle or the daughters can see the Elio; they can then bring the vehicle to the President's attention.

A few weeks ago I posted a comment complaining about the fact that none of the popular car, science, or technical magazines have had a feature or cover about the Elio. Over the years there have been many articles that covered inventions and products that were a lot further from production than the Elio. The example I gave was the flying car. I suggested that forum members write to their favorite magazines and ask them to report on the Elio. I subscribed to Popular Mechanics and sent them a request to cover the Elio. Any guesses as to what the cover of the April edition of Pop Mech is? That's right, a flying car! Perhaps another letter writing campaign is in order.
