Friday Blog Is Out

At this point the Friday Blog is the only evidence the regular person has that the lights are still on at Elio, so they should expect to have to answer questions when the blog doesn't happen on time.

Maybe,,, it was a test to see if anyone noticed?
I checked and someone is there, working on finding funding, and that's all I was told.

Why doesn't Paul say something? Why did they fail to put out last Fridays blog? Are they sorry? Is Eliocoin still a possibility?
If I were a potential investor, I would be concerned with Elio Motors being unable to keep the website somewhat updated and the reservationists informed.

The Elio’s Structure
May 17, 2019
In many ways, a vehicle can be compared to the human body. Like the body, vehicles are made up of a variety of different components and systems working together to make one cohesive unit. Just as an engine can be likened to a heart, the frame can be compared to the bones. The body of the Elio is made up of steel, and today’s Momentum will take an in-depth look at the materials that make up the frame.
Our engineering team has developed the design of the vehicle utilizing existing steel materials for optimum manufacturability and structural integrity. Our team focused on utilizing materials that are readily available, easily manufactured, and lightweight, while keeping in mind our target of 90% utilization of North American content. We have designed a non-coated steel unibody with conventional and high strength steels to provide occupant safety.
Here is a chart that breaks down the various steels we will be using:
CR2, CR3, and CR4
All three CR (Cold Reduction) steels are used because they enhance strength and formability. Finishing mills roll cold coils of pickled hot-rolled sheet to make the steel thinner, smoother, and stronger by applying pressure rather than heat. Stands of rolls in a cold-reduction mill are set very close together and press a sheet of steel from one-quarter inch thick into less than an eighth of an inch, while more than doubling its length. CR applies to cold-reduced carbon steel sheet of structural quality in grades CR220, CR250, CR320, and CR420, usually without the use of micro-alloying elements. The product is intended for structures that include bolting, riveting, and welding. It is generally used in the delivered condition for fabricating purposes, such as bending, forming, and welding. In total, CR steel makes up 41% of our structure.
340, 590
Steels in the HSLA (High Strength Low Alloy) range are hardened by a combination of precipitation and grain size refining, resulting in high strength with low alloy content. This enhances weldability and choice of coatings since these steels exhibit neither weld zone softening nor grain coarsening. These grades are particularly suitable for structural components such as suspension systems, chassis, and reinforcement parts. For their respective yield strength levels, these steels all exhibit excellent cold forming and low-temperature brittle fracture strength (starting at grade 320). The entire range of HSLA steels offers good fatigue strength (suspension arm, shock tower) and impact strength (longitudinal beams, cross members, reinforcements, etc.). Because of their mechanical strength, the weight of reinforcement and structural components can be reduced. The HSLA range of products is available in hot and cold rolled grades. The various grades are identified by their yield strength. HSLA steel makes up 59% of our structure.
Just as strong bones are important to a healthy body, a strong frame is necessary for a safe vehicle. The materials that make up the Elio’s frame will make for a safe vehicle while also fitting into the Elio Motors mission.

Geezz man, your worse then a woman. Bitch, bitch, bitch waaahhhhhh
Why didn't you just write them and ask?

Just went to the Elio Motors website and asked:
“Will Paul say something, anything?”
Will let you know when I get a response....
———————————-
Here’s the immediate response that they received my question, a lot of work went into this:
Hello and thank you for emailing Elio Motors. We wanted to let you know that we received your email and you have been assigned ticket request number (141425) for future reference. This ticket number is only for this request and will be referenced in all replies. This is not your order/reservation number nor is it a Spot in Line number (SIL).
We strive to answer every email within 24 hours (with an actual human being answering every email). We will do our best to answer yours as quickly as possible. Our normal business hours are Monday through Thursday 9:00 am CST to 5:00pm CST and Friday 9:00am to 12:00pm, so we will address this once we return to the office.
We encourage you to review the Support Section on our website (https://support.eliomotors.com/hc/en-us) for answers to our most common questions.
Thank you for taking the time to write and we appreciate your interest and support!
