I would testify in court that I understood the framework of this deposit had no guarantees. So his argument is mute. Im sure there are many more $1000 depositors that would also testify to this.
Judge...

"Mr/Ms. 'other $1k reservation holder', are you here as the sole legal representative of the defendant, Elio Motors?"
"You are... OK, can you provide the court with written documentation of that from Elio Motors at this time?"
"You cannot. And exactly what is your interest in this case between the plaintiff and the defendant?
I see. In that light, the court appreciates your concern, but your testimony would be irrelevant.

It would probably still be advisable for EM to have legal representation there.

I would also! I understood when I sent my money in. I also understand that I might lose all money that I spent on Elio stock! If you were unaware of what you were doing, then you should not do it.

This reminds me of the people that got up-side-down with their home loans after taking out all of the equity. The Feds stepped in and tried to save them from themselves. Many people have been conditioned to not being responsible for their own decisions and think others are responsible if something does not turn out the way they thought it should.

If EM is there, you bet they'll have a copy of the paperwork.
But in the original story, is he suing to get his money back? Or is he suing to get his Elio?

Either way, this guy is going to be going home with his tail between his legs, but he has gotten his 15 minutes of fame.

He is just doing it for spite--to cause Elio to spend money because he is mad at Elio for not giving him his money back.

It will cost them more money to fly to my state, get a hotel, and show up in court than to refund me. From a consumer perspective, I'm hoping the court sees this as "paid for x, was to be received by y, didn't accomplish so either refund or deliver finished vehicle". They had a very snarky response to my email when I tried to resolve this outside the courts, I'm ready to take them on."

The guy is a jack_hole.

No he's an idiot, he's wasting his time and the courts time; he needs to reread the contract he signed and sent the money in for.
He's an online troll that is trying to make his troll real in the real world, and he's doing it for the attention.
Probably because he was the center of attention growing up, and misses it because he's a typical average person, and not some kind of superstar.
He has it in his head how it was supposed to be, and it didn't happen that way, so he's going to pout, and stomp his feet, and cry and he wants people to feel sorry for him. Poor baby.

Not quite how it works. If they "settled" it would set a precedent and they would have to refund everyone who asked.
Showing up and winning the decision closes the door to future complaints.

In my heart I still hope to get the email that says send balance due pick up your ELIO. My intellect says ain't going to happen anymore.
Just a couple weeks ago Polaris shut Victory motorcycle . No warning locked it up. Heck dealers were still selling them like nothing happened . Motley fool for some time now has said Victory would out Harley in it's grave. If Victory can't make it with the money of Polaris behind it and the experience people they have. Some say the Sling Shot is next. What chance do others have in these industries. I of course had no love for Victory myself so I lost no sleep over it.
EILO has no idea when production will start. They throw stuff out. But to this day have not done anything when they said they would.
Had gas prices gone up to $10 dollars a gallon. Maybe they could have pulled it off. They still have a few lights on at ELIO, but not much going on and no products date.
I signed the commitment to purchase . I also knew that was likely their last hail Mary to shore up finances. It had no effect.
PE keep swing, good luck. Facing facts is how you move on in life. Dreaming is something you do over a cup of coffee. Nothing wrong with a little dreaming. Just come back to the real world now before it gets to foggy.
