You can register using your Google, Facebook, or Twitter account, just click here.Yes.Do you have to pay the $1000 reservation to get a number?
Still being figured out.Also, where is the list of options and added costs for those options?
There are a few options listed on the Elio website, but only a few, and there is no pricing listed for those. There will certainly be more and more as time grows nearer, but as Ryan said, they are still working that out.I'm new to this and only did a all in $100 upgradable deposit which I plan to upgrade later. My question is - Do you have to pay the $1000 reservation to get a number? Also, where is the list of options and added costs for those options? I appreciate any feed back.
The one thing I really like about Elio options is they will be priced individually rather than in "packages" the way car dealers do it. You buy only what you want and every buyer pays the same price. We have been assured the list of options will be available closer to production. You might want to look at the Elio blog for last Friday which actually explains how the ordering will be handled when production begins. It is posted on this site or you can go to the EM blog directly. You can also go to the last page of the EM website and sign up for email updates. That will include the weekly Tech Talk. Someone always includes them on this site also every week. After all, many of us are Elio addicts and have to have as many Elio fixes as we can get every week. Enjoy your journey toward Elio ownership. It is proving to be fun and exhilarating. LOL ZThere are a few options listed on the Elio website, but only a few, and there is no pricing listed for those.

The $6,800 base price of the Elio will feature a high-level of standard design features found in the interior of more expensive vehicles:
- Air conditioning
- Power windows and lock
- AM/FM mp3 stereo with USB connection
- Steering wheel mounted airbag, side curtain airbags
- Console mounted shifter and park brake
- Rear mounted LATCH system for securing in a child seat
- 3-point safety belts for driver and passenger
Additional items that are in consideration for the base model, but still require more research on pricing and production variations are:
- A unique instrument cluster inspired by a Lord Elgin watch that belonged to Paul Elio’s father, as opposed to standard gauges that utilize a needle that points to the speed or RPM's. This design reveals such information via a window with a decorative solid surround
- Contrast stitching on the black cloth seats
- Painted trim bezels on the instrument panel
- Three cup holders including two console mounted (one for driver and one for passenger) and one instrument panel mounted
- Articulating visor
- Three charge ports
- Storage bins in the door panel and right hand console
- A mounting point for a table and/or phone cradle at the top of the instrument panel with a convenient charging port nearby
Even though the base Elio will include a tremendous amount of value, comfort and safety features, some individuals that desire a more customized interior will be able to order additional options at the Elio Retail Center. Some custom interior options that will be available include:
- Power seats trimmed in black leather
- Upgraded stereo system featuring Bluetooth with hands free dialing
- Door/right hand panel inserts color matched to your exterior
This article really helped. I hope the upgrades are not expensive.More potential options were listed in one of the weekly Tech Talk emails.
