From looking at the tags and the post, it was another typical, "I was promised to get my toy, never got it and Paul made a bunch of money." In the end, at least Elio had to do SEC filings and the numbers from Elio motors speak for themselves. Thank goodness they did that as if they never did...
I look at it differently. Paul made a business plan that needed about $640M to make the business viable. They raised about $120M. It's an underfunded project and thus does what all underfunded projects do, they fail or just go into limbo because the owner is working on a new way for a cash...
It's a good barometer of how people just don't care and have moved on. I remember when it was a big deal when Elio went from two to one per week. Then those went to regurgitated blogs. Then Elio has started to skip a few here or there. Th concern seems to be gone. It's like people lowered the...
"half the width". What is Elio using this as a comparison? Paul has never said this and thus, it could be a Fiat 500 or a Ford F150. Then nothing about the height. If you want to see for yourself, then it's really easy, go to this:

Talk to the guys that work there and then...
I have rented a few Versas and they are pretty nice for the price. Much better than the Mitsu Mirage. The Versa is pretty big inside and the trunk can haul a good amount. I know it's not like a $35K car but for the price, Niissan did a good job. I suspect the newer one is better.
This is why Elio needs to sell an $18K version right now. it will get on the road and with the 84 mpg it gets, people will start to save money over that versa. With the Elio getting 110 hp and weighing in at 1350 lbs, it'll go as fast as the jet fighter inspired cockpit. Remember when you sat in...
The Elio will be more reliable. When you make over 800K Pickups per year, a few duds will come off the assembly line. When you have 5 hand built Elios, the chance of one of them failing is minimal, especially when that Elio cost about $20M to build as opposed to that $65K pickup.
Instead of a basketball player driving the Elio, is there anyone here that would donate their time to Elio Motors to drive the Elio cross country to make the Tesla look like a joke? If we could find one person to do this, I know Paul would be tempted. I think that the LeBron James price tag...
Don;t forget, Hari has a MS in Mechanical Engineering. So He would be my boss and tell me what to do when it comes to engineering and making sure i do not go down the wrong path which would cost the company dearly down the road. in addition to that, Hari has extensive experience with V-Vehicle...
The Elio goes 107 mph and the Model 3 is at 130 then the Model S is 155. The reality is, on real highways in the US, even 107 for the Elio is impossible for most of the trip. As we know a test has to be with a production model not a souped up one. Since the Elio now has double the power, the top...
From talking to my neighbor about synthetic fuel (the one that works at Air Products), the main problem which Bosch glosses over is the amount of energy it takes to do this. So it could happen in Europe where they are much more friendly when it comes to wind and solar as opposed to what we do...
Here in our area we have the worlds largest supplier of Hydrogen (Air Products). A few years ago i drove their Hydrogen powered Equinox. It was a fuel cell that powered an electric motor. It pumped out steam. They even had a Ford E450 people mover van but it just had the 4.6 3 valve motor that...
I would have taken the last one they built, pay two 6'8"ft basketball players to start from NY and go to LA. Do a blog on Youtube. Since the Elio goes 672 miles on a tank they could start from Times square and go to the Santa Monica Pier. That's 2807 miles. They could do it in a 5 part series as...
The Joel article is from 2015 and the bill was in 2014. Looks like it changed back.
This is what Tesla is doing: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/2019/05/08/payne-tesla-targets-toledo-serve-growing-michigan-market/1130089001/
This is why Paul needs to learn from the Elon school of PR. A super short video showing a tug of war got tons of publicity and it was all over the news. Elon knows a cheap pr stunt reaps rewards. If Elon was in charge of Elio, there would have been a number of these PR stunts and would have...
I read it on his LinkedIn page. He has both companies listed as "Present" for the finishing date.
That's an interesting article. Good to see Elio is trying to help out Tesla too. Just like Elio helping out Polaris, Solo and Vanderhall. I have noticed the law never changed in Michigan. Does...
Let's not forget Envia Systems and that show. Hari was not a founder but he was an executive that filled the gap in between V-Vehicle and Elio Motors.

What's your definition of "future". This video was made a year and a half before Marty McFly and Doc Brown showed up in the future where they don't need roads and MrFusion was all you needed for power.
