Your on the right track of mind. But, the same guys are still in charge. It's just their laps are on fire now and they are concentrating more on THE issues and with less staff, if they ever had one. Somebody here asked me about their 'body language'. I did study this and I can tell you that they all vibbed 'intensity, caution yet they were happy with the progress made and with great anticipation for the near future. I read "It's going to get worst before it gets better, so hang on" Nobody said that, it's just what I picked up. I repeat, WE are in good hands, They can handle this.
OH I FORGOT >>>>> I did ask about Cedric Glover and that mess. I got the "We really can't talk about that" speech but I read was "MEH, don't worry about it". ;-)
I'm that somebody with asking about the " body language ".

I don't mind the battery under the trunk. Could be any worse that my Dodge Intrepid I had some years ago. To change the battery, you had to take off the front passenger tire and access it through the wheel well. It was such a beating. So I am okay "decluttering" the engine compartment to make things easier to get to where it makes sense.

Just got the latest email from Elio and went to their blog. It was really great. I've always wondered what that "spring" deal was all about; now I know. Maybe next time they can explain this "daylight savings time" thing. I really hate it when they make us move the clock back, my roses can't stand another hour of daylight....

Me to. This sentence stood out to me. All I really needed to see in print to be a happy bear.

"It’s possible! Right now, our focus is on the task at hand, which is getting the vehicle into production, and this is an all hands on deck effort. There may be future pop-up events, but most of our focus at this stage is behind the scenes in funding and moving toward production."

Having the Battery under lock and key is a big plus in my book, very common target item for unscrupulous perpetrators.

You guys curious of what a Hootersnoocher looks like? I ain't telling.
Hooter, it was wonderful to meet you. I hope you will be able to come June 24th, 2:00 at Tony Pacos in Toledo. The Restaurant didn't appear to be handicap compliant, do you have a manual chair to bring? And I really want you to RSVP because I will arrange for a table downstairs for us all.
Is it the one on 71 Front St.? There are three in Toledo, but 71 Front street is the original. I used to do work at Nabisco just down from there. Fond memories. I'm going try very hard to attend. I am able to traverse short distances with out my power chair, so I should be fine Lilly, thank you. It is my plan "B" for more than expected distances. Guy's, I look like seven other fellas there, part time Santa with bushy white beard.

I'm able to handle short distances too and use my TravelScoot for long distances, shopping, stROLL in the Park, or airline travel. It's aircraft grade aluminum frame/lithium battery weighs under 30#, folds, and would easily fit in the back of a future Elio, SOLO, or SRK. I don't know if it would work for you or not, but this functional 4 mph three wheeler EV works perfectly for my situation.

Sir, that is SuEEET! Mine is more industrial, an Invacare M51 power chair, circa. 2005. 250#, But climbs and traverses earth like a Sherman tank. In fact, I asked Chip at the pop up event if any thought has been given to a tow package, and he replied that they were looking into something. I use an aluminum folding platform on my 2" tow receiver box.
Would you believe someone stole one of my middle traction wheels off of my chair the last time I visited the metro Detroit area for the NAIAS while strapped down to my platform. It would have been quicker and easier to have taken the whole chair!
