The only announcement I need to hear from EM is funding secured from whatever the source and a video of Paul Elio singing "Money, Money, Money, in the Bank" and then we can sit back and watch the expected progress to the 2016 last chance production deadline.

To really get the ELIO going It needs to be on the road. You have to get the darn thing in peoples driveway. In the parking lot at work at the walmart. That is when the largest number of people will go to the sight and seriously consider buying one. The number of us will to go out on a limb are limited. The number that would put down a $1000 with no guarantee of ever seeing it are even less. Forget the dumb dash board and the techy stuff get it on the road.
Willing to place cash on if I drove one into work 3 others would buy one.

I agree. With the success of the tour and how excited people get when they see it, can you imagine the buzz and interest that will be created when people see it out and about in everyday life?

I feel like such an idiot. I've seen the production date pushed back four (4) times. They've had my 'all in 1K" for almost two years. I, now, have to admit that I think this is a scam and I'm a big sucker. My reservation number is 3412...Does anyone besides me think they've been had ?

I don't feel that way at all. There is no way Elio would spend the money on the tour, building a new engine, securing a facility, etc. if they didn't plan to produce. There is always a chance they fail (as with any business), but in no way do I think it's a scam. They have hit some roadbumps is all.

And not to split hairs, but I don't think you went all in 2 years ago. I went all in January 2014, right at a year, and my number is 2638)

While some of us are concerned about funding that in No way means ELIO is or ever was a scam. Big difference in leadership issues bringing a product to market and a scam. ELIO has hit a wall a tough wall to over come. One it failed to fully address early on . They have scammed no one. The only thing they maybe guilty of is wishful thinking.
Pretty sure most of us that went all in for a $1000 knew the risk.

Let's throw this dumb hypothetical out there....

Lets say the white house says they will do this, but the jobs have to be union. Lets say the union jobs and benifits increases the price to 9-10k.....would you sign?

There is no way the govenrment can put stipulations that would supercede the states rights, in a situation like this. There is no federal law that requires unionization here.

one every minute for half od the day is about 1000, in 100 days that does reach the goal.
Anyway, hopefully more than 1k/day will be exceeded at some point.
It just depends on your social networking.

reminds me of the charts and projections for when, based on production numbers, we'd be getting our E -lol
