Just 2 months after Elio Motors CEO Paul Elio told the Louisiana House Commerce Committee that production of his 3 wheel automobile would begin in Shreveport by the end of 2017, the company has announced another round of delays and says production will not start until late 2018.

I have contacted EM and asked that very question; when I get an answer, I'll post it.

Just read online, production pushed back from end of 2017 to 2018. The Caddo Parish is upset because Elio Motors was originally promising jobs for the unemployed GM workers back in 2015. The building administrator RACER is possibly going after Elio Motors for renigging on the deal and selling off unneeded equipment left by GM.
I doubt Racers is going to do anything to EM, the owner of Racers is on the Elio Motors board of Directors, his name is Stuart Lichter.

Did you notice they never say what was removed? Just movable material. I for one would like to know what it actually was.
That's the problem. No-one really knows (or can agree on) what "non-permanent and/or non-fixture" unauthorized items were removed and sold.
