He hasn't switched sides, EM did in their stance. It was EM that said to do this, not EKH. And as EKH stated, don't write the DOE (which is what EM told us not to do) but contact their "bosses" to put pressure on the DOEIt has been often stated here that the ball is in Elio's court, not DOE's. Until EM proves, at the very least, their mileage claim, they are not eligible for the loan. The entire loan process revolves around EM's claim that they can beat the required 75 mpg target. Has EM produced those results, and informed the DOE, and we just don't know it? Someone else said that EM can't do that right now, because EM needs to certify a production (or production-equivalent) vehicle, and EM can't do that, because they don't have a production-equivalent vehicle. They will need to finish more of the E-series tuning before that can happen.
So I'm curious as to why you have now switched sides, and are claiming that the DoE is now stonewalling EM on the loan process?
And again here, you have flipped your stance on grass-roots movements and letter-writing campaigns. You used to claim that EM had asked people to NOT conduct letter-writing campaigns. That it was counter-productive, and could hurt EM's position. Why have you suddenly flipped your position on this?
