I understand, no matter how many time I apologize, I'm marked for life. Right now I'm in Tokyo and next week I'll be in Shanghai. In Japan, you can say what you want and people will put up with it but never do business with you. In China it's a system where when SG was upset with me, he would...
Monday should be good for Elio since the drone attacks on a Saudi Oil field and oil prices surged 18% in early trading. US might tap into oil reserves.
I hope the rest edit out their references to other religions too because there seems to be plenty of them (even from mods) on this site. This no place for them and I have been very insulted reading them over the years. We need to go further and when it comes to sex, orientation and color of the...
There. I took out any religious reference, specific locations, and historical names. Now you should be happy.
BTW: It was not religious bashing. Quite the contrary but I understand some people are more sensitive than others in this day of age. I'm sorry that you took it that way.
You got to be careful. Limited production is not production. It's like when space guy got the first FUV, we all had a big party because they were in production.
It'll change but it'll be a while. I have said before, even dollar amounts become a psychological thing for investors. This is why Elio sat at places like $5.00 for a while. I never thought it was going below $3.00 because it was being manipulated. Obviously, I was really wrong on that prediction.
As for Vanderhall, you need to remember, it's all been funded internally within the family. So with that, nobody has any idea as to if they are making a fortune or losing their shirt. I do know that their car building experience and chassis design is part of their master plan to build EV's that...
Most of the components are made in the US. Contrary to popular belief, the supplier market is in hypermode due to so many making pats now in the US. This is because automation has solved the "Made in China" problem. There's a reason why Polaris is in Huntsville, there are at least 2 dozen OEM...
I never realized that you did not live in North America. As for the North America people, the Slingshot is made in Huntsville, AL. I've taken a tour of the factory and anyone can too. I suggest you all do this when you travel because you'd be amazed when it comes what is made in America.
I...
I bet there was an asterisks on the whole thing. Remember, Elio told us all back on January 3, 2013 that production was to begin June 2014 and then exports be the end of the decade. Then on December 27, 2016 Elio told us that if you had a reservation you'd be getting it in 2018. It shows that...
What this tells me is that Sondors has got an overabundance of new owners and now they are going after the fleet market. It's that the fleet market is afraid because they need to get a loan to buy all of the vehicles, thus Sondors was nice enough to work out a deal with a financial institution...
I think the last real update that had real meat to it was when they covered the wiper. It was much more informative as opposed to telling us what we really should like. I've asked them to really go over the front suspension because that has changed drastically and the design the are going with...
Liability is not a big deal for what they are doing. It's basic machine production. They don;t have any trade secrets, it's not food or clean room production. They can do a limited run of the first 100 customers and you fit right in there. I would think this would be an excellent marketing...
Do you pick it up at the factory? If so, ask them if you can show up and at least see part of it being built, maybe at the end. I’d think they would like that as seeing it come off the line and after their checks, they hand you the keys. It might be 4-5 hours after it comes off the line before...
there's too much money going into solid state batteries. So it's not going to happen now but I suspect in 5 years we will see it finally get to limited production. Remember, not that long ago, nobody thought the current battery technology would be possible and here it is. Exciting times to see...
Plus the last time an Elio was seen by a reservation holder in person, was in May 2017.
As for news, we could count the story about meeting with the Governor of Ohio that was in April 2019. Then the facebook posting from Elio after that.
Vanderhall has plenty of funding and it's family money. Here's an older article that's worth the read. For all I know they might throw in one of those smart toilets when you get one...
