I believe if the autocycle companies made the autocycle meet the same exact standard of the automobile for all specs, then Elio would be funded right now and the Solo and FUV would have 500k reservations each. it would make the three wheeler industry take off. Elio would be up to 1M in...
I never said it was not possible. When you are going to state mpg, then there has to be a spec (which there is). As long as you use that spec then I don't have a problem. For Elio, it's been "up to" which means, zero to the number they pick. According to Elio Motors, that "up to 84" mpg has only...
That's not how it works. When you are to use 84 mpg, then you have to be comparing it to passenger cars and a set specification that they use to determine it. It's just like a 100 mpg F150 is possible but not using the same specs that I have to use for every other 4 wheeled vehicle. It's like...
Also, this what was called NAFTA but is now USMCA. That means, your parts made in North America, now cost more. If you notice, it's been out of the news. So, that $7450 Elio became more expensive 6 months ago. There's nothing that Elio Motors can do about it either.
Elio could make 90% in...
Remember, with Theranos they were to do 200 tests and only accomplished 2. What I'd like to see is Elio to produce real world numbers that use the same exact specification they are comparing to. I can take a Ford truck and get 100 mpg without a problem. It's that don't ask me to do it with the...
It's a fact that the Elio gives 84 mpg and that it will sell for $7,450? Theranos was to make a small blood tester that was the size of a breadmaker that could do 200 tests without the need of a huge number of techs. It was to revolutionize the medical industry because the big companies were...
The best example I can look at is, Theranos. I forgot about the company but when the documentary came out, be brought up some interesting things. The company was not out to rip people off, but it cane down to that the technology for the required specs was never going to work. I met someone that...
Great post because this is why I brought up the "Hey Paul" when it came to this forum. Seems that there was very little interest. Paul wakes up every morning and checks the only forum left devoted to him and all he finds are posts about everything else but the Elio. I bet he would appreciate...
Texas Tesla used to be here under a different name. Mods deleted it about a year ago. He had a Smart Car, a Cobra from South Africa and was from Texas. Texas Tesla coincidentally has (or had) the same things and from the same state.
My guess is that there is such little interest in the Elio...
