I was told at the L.A. Auto Show that the rear tire cowl will swing open on one side for access to the tire. I would only assume this means we wouldn't have to remove said cowling for tire replacement. Then again stranger things have happened in my life.What about the points to place a jack to change a tire?
My Porsche 912 and 914 have one jack point on each side and the jack will lift both wheels, on that side, off the ground. The elio is lighter but that cannot happen, because that would leave only one wheel on the ground which would be unstable. I assume they will have three jack points, one for each of the three wheels. Which side will the rear wheel jack point be on, or will the rear wheel cowling have to be remove to access that jack point.
I hope they have not forgotten about the jack points. If you think big obvious oversights don't happen in big projects, just check out military projects!
