For me, it's come down to a lack of trust. Elio made the decision not to do an SEC filing. Elio has made the decision to not talk to the reservation and stock holders for over a year. Elio has made the decision to just recycle old blogs. Keeping people in the dark means, they start not trusting...

Solar for a car will become more and more practical over time. Think about it. 10 years ago EV’s were not as practical as they are today. With the amount of R&D going into alternate energy for transportation, 10 years from now we will be driving cars that we thought would never be possible...

Anti Squat has to do with suspension geometry, not dampers. I informed Elio of this back when this originally came out and obviously they decided not to fix it. Same for Anti Dive. It costs exactly the same to do both, just move the pickup points. Requires zero cost. I did notice Elio did raise...

Just like "Who Killed The Electric Car?" As we all know the electric car is dead. Nobody makes them and Big Oil got their way. Too bad because I really had hope for the electric car. Maybe someone down the road will make one. Big Oil just ruins everything. Same foe solar energy. Back in the 70's...

Elio has been saying this: That's been the company line at least the last 38 weeks. So if Elio gets full funding today, that means Elio #1 rolls off the assembly line on January 14, 2021. The key word is "full" when it comes to funding and as to the 76 weeks. It will never happen in 2020. Now...

depends. They sold the Beetle here for many years. It really never took off until the late 50. So lets say 1955. Then the beetle bit the dust in the US in 1979. The last few years of the Beetle in Mexico were around $5500 (USD equivalent) and they were just under the price point to get taxed...

Did anyone here reserve one when the price was $5959? If so when did you do it? I just checked on the Elio website and over 2 years ago they said the sticker price was $7526. If that's the case, the Elio is now $8031 and in 2021 it'll be $8326 (assuming 2% inflation). Tack on the $500 for USMCA...

Plus, the cost to build the Elio is only $4388. As for the profit, since Elio was going to price it at $5969 and make $1K. That means at $7450 they will make $2481 per unit and at 250K units that's $620,500,000 in profit per year before we add into the profit of the accessories. With that at...

Great find and now we know the facts and can go from here. I got some good news and bad news. Good News: Elio will make $1K per car and that's a huge amount. Bad news: The Elio has a sticker price of $5959. So locking in at $7K was a bad decision because I'll be paying less for my Elio than you...

You bring up a good point. When I seen the Elio twice and the hundreds of pics I see of people posting with the Elio, you see mostly retired people. When I hear people talk about it here, many seem to be like you. this forum is a small slice of the people that put money down on the Elio (there's...

Best part is, the markets have been fixed and those rich fat cats are ready to invest. Currently they are investing in uber expensive Pickups and SUV's. So they will be in investing soon.

Definitely. The difference is, Rivian has a number of people to answer to. Elio does not. Rivan has to convince the gas powered truck/SUV buyers in America that they have something that's worth $70-$100K. That's a big challenge. On the other hand, Rivian is not looking at selling many trucks at...

One major problem was they never let anyone drive it. The general public believes three wheelers are dangerous, thus they just walk by and that’s it. If Elio built 5 of them for test drives then the interest would have been better. They would probably feel better after getting behind the wheel...

It's never been published as to how much Elio Motors paid ESG Engineering. They did get paid in stock but as we know, it's losing ground and that stock has not been sold. If it was, then it would show up on a listing. On the other hand, how much did Elio Motors pay Roush? We have not seen...

From looking at the SEC filings, Elio had generated this in sales (total number starting from zero back in 2013) over these dates: Sept 30, 2015 - $19M March 31, 2016 - $22M December 31, 2016 $27M The total sales and marketing budget for 2016 was $7.6M. If you split the number between...

I can see why the static 65K display. Jan 2013 - Mar 2017 - 65,000 Reservations (avg. 1,300/month over 50 months) April 2017 - June 2018 - 65,460 Reservations (avg 33/month over 14 months) From looking through the archives (2017) Mar 13 - 65,198 Mar 29 - 65,239 Apr 3 - 65,264 Apr 10 - 65,286...

I can see why. The only reason to bring out the Elio is to either please current important investors or future ones. Remember we are small time investors and not important because we can't invest any more. No reason to talk to us. For Manhattan, that was for future big time investors. Midvale...

Been watching the Tour de France and they are using the Yamaha Niken as one of the support vehicles. If you want to see a three wheeler in action carving up the roads, this is it.

You have to remember. All of the three wheelers I mentioned are low volume and sold to people that just want a fun vehicle to go out on the weekend with or they live in some urban area and they use it for doing short trips. It's a limited niche vehicle, thus they don't need all of the safety...

Forget all of the others joining in. The Autocycle Safety Act (remember I'm talking about the federal one, not the individual state ones) would make it harder for three wheelers coming to the market. Good to see it never go anywhere. It would push more for safety and as we know the current three...
