Lunch doesn't get itself and the garbage cans don't empty themselves. Thus, that's the job for the marketing people.

They still owe my Daughter and Me one, and I am sure it is top priority!

I notice that there's no update to the reservations number. Maybe the marketing person could get on that since it was going up by a good amount at the end.
I'm just spitballing here. I wonder if the BoD told Paul to stop doing Skype interviews because all it does is turn into bad press. Same for going to any more shows. Instead, they gave him the job of either going after more funding or work 24/7 to get a production ready vehicle. It seems that either doing interviews, going to shows or even doing press releases just results in the same question, "When am I going to get my Elio!" That just fires up another round of bad press with people asking the same question over and over or just rehashing 6 month old info. If it's not the reservation holders, then the Caddo Parish will be ready of another round of grilling. Maybe going off the grid is a good thing and just get something done to the point to make people at least 50% happy that something is happening.

They are definitely ramping down their public presence. The pertinent question to answer is whether that's because they want to or because they can't afford to maintain it.
Will know in next nine days, when SEC report comes out

Maybe. The SEC report only covers financials through Q4 2016

LOL... me, too. I edited it to have an actual subject in that first sentence. Aquion Energy, btw.

They have until April 30, 2017 to file their next semi-annual report to the SEC. That's 5.5 weeks of torturous suspense for anyone looking forward to reading it.

Happy Friday Elio’ers! We hope that you had a tremendous week and are gearing up for an even better weekend. How does your bracket look? Not too good? We can sympathize. This year’s tournament has seen some of the favorites cruising toward the Final Four with some significant upsets in the mix. Even if you don’t win your pool, the NCAA tournament is still an excellent excuse to sit back, relax, and watch some basketball.
In this week’s Friday Blog, we want to provide clarification on two topics that have been creating some conversation in the past week: the 65,000 reservation milestone and our recent Momentum on our recent legislative progress.

Below you’ll find the questions that have come in on these topics and the clarification.
What did 65,000 reservations signify?
When we began taking reservations, the base price for the Elio was a targeted base model price. We have worked tirelessly to keep the Elio as affordable as we possibly can, as it is one of our four key tenets. We chose the 65,000 number as the proverbial line in the sand that would end the early adopter stage of our journey. Additionally, the binding commitments also served as further proof of the level of commitment and passion of our supporters that is useful in our funding efforts.
Did you need to reach 65,000 reservations to start production/does production start at 65000 reservations.?
Simply put, no, production was not scheduled to start at 65,000. The 65,000-reservation mark was chosen by us as a number to mark the end of the early adopter stage for our reservations. We plan on filling all reservations in our first year of production and are continuing to offer reservations and are thankful for the tremendous amount of interest in our vehicle and our mission. Your reservations are very helpful as we seek the requisite funding.
Why not put a tiny fourth wheel on the vehicle- this will classify the Elio as a car. Would this help?
Now that’s thinking outside of the box! We’ve heard this suggestion countless times. There are a number of reasons to keep the three wheel configuration like legislative and manufacturing simplicity, cost and countless others. It is actually easier to bring a motorcycle/autocycle to market than a car. Also, as we outlined earlier this week, we have made tremendous progress to this point and are on target to hit our licensing and helmet goals.
How can I help in my state?
As always, we are honored that our fantastic supporters reach out and ask how they can be of help. At this stage, our legislative team has it covered. The biggest way our supporters can be of help is to continue to spread the word about us! By the way, we will and have called on supporters in certain states in the past and may do so again, if needed.
As always, thanks for your support and have a marvelous weekend!
