I've Been Talking To Elio And

[Ty]

I still don't see Louisiana has a leg to stand on. If they did, then Tesla would have been fined millions by now. You can't just fine one company and then let another get away scot free. Elio will win this without a problem what would be nice is to see people in Louisiana get behind Elio because of the jobs and that would make it on the news. If not, it'll be another poop show with politicians making noise about nothing trying to get reelected for 2018. It's obvious what they do. Wait until a primary, then take a small dump on Elio. Then after that, they take a big one leading up to November. After that, it's just quiet until just before the primaries for 2020.

This is why Elio really needs to move to a friendly state and in addition to their incentives, they can get local investment. Right now, Shreveport is not the epicenter of any investment whatsoever. I'd pick Alabama or Nevada because they are friendly when it comes to business right now. Elio is a shoe in for success but at this point, a major change in the business plan might be in order to make it happen with a better location.

...IF they could only move the factory to another state...sigh.

We would take them here in Alabama, but I'm not sure where we would house them. The manufacturers that have come here have had pretty big incentives and built their own facilities.

What else has happened is that the suppliers have set up shop in Alabama too. That news nobody hears about because it's not a name anyone knows.

Check out the HMA (Honda Manufacturing Alabama) full blown race minivan they have. It's cool that the manufacturer let's them do this.

Then there's HART (Honda America Racing Team) that is out of the plant in Marysville, OH. These guys have been at it for 20+ years. This year they even raced the made in USA NSX at Daytona:

Found this Tid Bit the other day, kind of an interesting article.
Contains a lot of information:

Will Tesla Have To Pre-Announce A 42% Q1 Sales Miss?

I hope Elio succeeds, if nothing else, to make the politicians and negative journalists eat crow. If Elio succeeds, it will also be interesting to see how the politicians twist their stories into how they were behind Elio all the time.

Now! Now! Now! You know they don't need a backstory when they lie through their teeth about their support for Elio. Politicians have learned that nobody expects objective or verifiable truth when a big lie will do just fine.

These people are appointed not elected

Cronies...Ahem...People appointed by politicians are only one level away from voters.

Hey Alexander. Things are moving forward on the funding front- we're working on several different opportunities. As soon as we have something to announce you'll be the first to know!

Something like that just warms my heart.

On another note, have we heard anything about the appeal hearing?
It was to have happened already.

Scroll down to my post.

All I know is that it was rescheduled for May 15th, 2018 at 10:00.
It is probably the same location and judge, but that has not been confirmed.
