I do not agree unless I have better information. When you drove the Elio, did you feel that everyone would be as super excited as they were about the FUV? Even though everyone was super excited about the FUV, they are struggling to make production which makes no sense because they should have...
So they never answered your question but just changed the subject to one of hope? Thus, it's a fact, they are dead. A Bot answered your question, not a real human being.
It's to be done by 2019. Panoz did the preliminary design work, but since Don Panoz died, the whiole engineering and racing operations have been shut down. Sounds like Bricklin is ready to kick the bucket too, so this project is dead. Just read this article from 2.5 years ago and you'll see that...
If you remember, I was the one that hounded him to contact the local press. Once that happened, the refund was issued. My guess is that Paul will think twice before firing up the excuse generator for when it comes to issuing a refund. Elio has stood behind their iron clad contract for non...
There, I corrected it for Elio Motors. Because we need to see what's going on with the Eliocoin as it'll be funding Elio Motors. Last update is that they were recoding it and it's to be out at the end of the year. Sounds like they are grinding away at recoding it and they ran into a few issues...
Seems that after the reporter and the BBB got involved, the issues were solved. From looking at the BBB site, Elio needs to improve their rating. The response from Elio is reactionary. With that Elio needs to fix the PR problem. I ask this, Is Paul even alive or is a bot just running it now?
It happens all of the time. Many times I've had customers that have sent checks and they never made it. Then they send them again and again. Then when I never get them, they have to go through the process of canceling those checks because it could get into the wrong hands.
For a while, we had a...
Elio Motors has addressed their reservation holders and telling them that it's their fault for these delays as opposed to Elio Motors:
Elio has warned people of this before: https://www.eliomotors.com/managing-information/ and this: https://www.eliomotors.com/stay-in-the-loop/ So obviously...
Sounds like Paul has been listening and things might be turning around. This article has a long email from Elio and at least they fixed the refunds people ask for. Instead of 7 months it's now 3/4 weeks. Plus it explains why people having problems. Seems that people have moved and many have put...
Correct. Remember, it took Elio 50 months to get that 65K. To do that, it took Elio to sweeten the pot to get people to put down a reservation. That took discounts, fixed pricing and jumping ahead in line the more you spent. If Americans were really interested in the Elio, then a $100 fully...
This is where opinion vs facts come into play. Nobody has ever built or designed a three wheeler like what Elio planned on doing. Plus it was to meet specs that no three wheeler has ever done. How do you put a price on that? Honestly, it's a guesstimate. After that it's trial and error. So that...
I don't see it that way. This is how I see it. Elio had a $650M budget and raised about $110M. The budget for developing the car alone was $147M. For the $62M they have spent on R&D they produced a number of prototypes and engineering vehicles. The completed units ran and drove, plus they showed...
Don;t forget that we have too many people living in McMansions. it's not uncommon for a family of 4 to live in a 3500 sqft house. We need to make 1000 sqft the maximum for a family of four. I grew up in a 800 sqft house and we had a family of 6. My wife was in a 700 sqft house and they had 8...
Update, it's up to 975. I suggest we get a countdown clock to see the big fireworks that happens when it reaches 1000. We are only about 245 weeks (about 4 years 8 months) into this petition. I just wonder what will happen first, 1000 signatures or 5 years. Maybe we need to start an office pool.
Let's not forget about the grim reaper (Hari). Looking at his past, everything has failed he has touched since he left johnson Controlls.
Look at what he has done:
- ESG Engineering - Went from 45 full time engineers and then additional support staff to laying everyone off in 2009 then...
They car caught in a catch 22 situation. Deleting comments leads to a FB page that looks dead. I suspect the latest posts will be deleted and thus anyone that checks in once in a while will wonder of the company is still on operation. For the ones that have a SIL that get deleted, they just give...
Please reread this:
I never said he wasn't doing the refunds, just making it harder. Please answer this, Do you think that when it takes 7 months to get a $250 refund out of Elio Motors, it's a bit excessive?
