I Am Not Done Believing.

$39K??? I'm out... Besides the design makes me think early Saab or Volvo...

Hey Rickb, do you have more info. on this? I like the specs, the overall design is classic but their website does not say how much and when it'll be available.

I like the classic look! The front end angle reminded me of the old Studebaker and looks to handle well in the snow. Pricey and likely not appealing to a wide range of market demographics that allows for the production scale necessary to make it affordable. With that said any electric Elioesque like three wheeler would likely boast the same high end MSRP. it was the wishful low msrp, high mpg, 5 star safety, and fast to production claims that attracted us all to the Elio concept. Heck, news is Tesla is close to rolling out a $25K model. Impossible for a new vehicle startup to compete with that affordable option. Also, interesting news is that Elon Musk crashed the first Arcimoto FUV into a wall!

Too bad because the specs are just right and featuring a "3 wheel drive" that I never heard of before that's why it was so impressive in snow. Bottom line on these 3wheelers are we're all expecting a bargain price and even when some of us are willing to pay, you still have to wait, and wait, and wait........ By the way, did you or anybody on here made a deposit for Tesla's 25k model? Because you get more bang for the buck and all the gizmos and awesome specs you'll ever need!

I think the $25K Tesla is 2-3 years out.

Betcha the $39K Nobe is even further out!

No bet! I‘d be shocked if they find investors, a manufacturing partner, FMVSS certify, and cross the production finish line. With that said, i hope they do.

Maybe we could at least get one of those Pontiac style hood ornaments.

Looks like the "Elgin" of hood ornaments.

At least we had fun with the whole Elgin thing for a while. Was it worth the $1000+? No, but just saying.
