It was shrewd when Elio was the powerhouse in three wheelers. Times have changed and Elio could rewrite it where all of the three wheelers are included. Elio helped out those companies with the state requirements and with the Elio government affairs guy helping out FUV and the helmet thing in...
Now we need someone to pay a lobbyist to get this done as it’ll never happen without it. So could it be reworded to include Arcimoto, Solo, Vanderhall, Polaris and Sondors. Then they could pay for it since they owe Elio anyway.
Elio did spend $850K with lobbyists for things like the Autocycle Act and Ultra Efficient Vehicles. All is not lost.

It'll go back up. It's just day traders playing with the stock. They like to do this for companies that have gone into silent mode because it's easy to make a few bucks here or there. The "someone" is a computer as very little of what is happening with Elio is by people wanting to sell or buy.
You notice they didn't say, American in the USA but just human in the USA. There are 327M in the USA but that doesn't count all of the visitors, green card holders, diplomats, resident aliens and illegal aliens. It does leave out cyborgs and whatever they have in Area 51.
Dear Made in USA,
Thank you for your interest in Elio Motors. RSchneider was kind enough to fufill your request in a timely manner..

Elio will soon be a 10 year old company. They got the milestone of 65K reservations over 3 years ago. Is that considered new?
Then this might not help:
Then this:
If the DOE would just ignore the financials, then the 84 mpg mileage would get them in. Plus Elio stopped making SEC filings as...
In this context, not all but a good 90% were smitten with Elio. There were people making long trips just to see the Elio for the 3rd or 4th time even though they already had one or two SIL's. Many made their own shirts and bumper stickers. Many more formed their own facebook groups and even did...
It’s becoming a problem when we can’t remember what Elio is what or how many have been built. This used to be the place that knew what kind of coffee Paul had for the day.
I consider Elio Lite to be a stripped down version. Problem is, cheating R&D, Warranty, Service are items of people that want the Elio so bad they just want it made until the get theirs and after that, not caring if the company goes out of business. Making a less than speed out version will kill...
Yes, the ATVM loan was great, Elio had no chance in getting it (just like the 100 or so other applicants). The modeling shows Elio can get the mileage but the DOE could ask for real world testing. So, that’s what I’d want to see if I was looking for loan criteria. As we all know, Elio can’t pay...
Also, Elios manufacturing license plate number is, 00M72. If you look in the official Elio motors gallery, it’s there a number of times.
There’s a blog entry with the white one wired up for data, camera on the front nose and missing the RO fender. That’s the one that went to Teves.
In the end...
The White Elio was sent to Continental for ABS/SC/Stability testing. It ran and drove. The orange one went to Red Dot for HVAC testing. Black one is for show. One body in white was made to fitment studies.
Actually not. They just send stuff out. If you really want to see the oddball stuff manufacturers send out, go to the Nurburgring in Germany. Every manufacturer seems to send everything out on that track. There's even footage of GM Enginers wrecking a pre production Camaro at that place.
Come...
Time to buy up some Bushnell. Looks like it'll be a good investment. Hope this is what the Eliocoin will be like:
