The main reason for doing it that way was because the #1 warranty issues with transmissions was people overfilling them because they would check the level when it was cold. So eliminating it, fixed that problem.
The way transmissions are filled today are through the bottom and have no dip stick. They have a 2 part drain plug. The inner part is where you fill it by pumping it into the pan. That part has a stove pipe in it so when the fluid level in the pan goes above that pipe, it’ll run out when you...
I would put it this way.
I was looking for some engineering, R&D and testing updates. The information in the blogs are dated and have been repeated, so something more recent (i.e. 2018 to today) would be appreciated but not something that is in the existing blogs or press releases.
A few...
That’s why Ford is treading water at the moment. Most of their job cuts have been in Europe. Typically, we never hear of that in the US. Just like we never heard about GM’s mass exodus out of Europe and South America. GM even shut down the Australian plants and engineering/R&D centers and now...
Read the SEC filings from the last 5 years. GM is selling lots of assets and business. If you think the US is bad, come here to Europe. They are all about gone. Same for South America. They are praying that China will work but the 800lb Gorilla (VAG) is going to kill them. GM is a shell of...
I’m confused about the 10 Eliocoins. What’s an Eliocoin worth? They need $376M so does that mean that the coin is worth $37.6M? Even the $25M they are looking for, that would be $2.5M/coin. No matter what, it better be a fleet of awesome Sig edition Elio for that price. If it’s, buy an Eliocoin...
The last time I heard Paul speak was May 11, 2018. The last press release (as mentioned in the post above) September 27, 2018. That’s 7 months 23 days or 44% into a 76 week timeline.
You know I like numbers. I can’t find anywhere that Elio plans on making $1K per base car and 20% on options. Plus I can’t find at what price that $1K profit works and how many dollars in options on average that people will spend. I do know what the latest price (over a year old) the car needs...
Those two trades were on the 15th as yesterday saw nothing. No news means no volume and it slowly goes down in price. It looks like it’ll go below the $2 psychological level. I honestly think Elio could care less about the stock price. It’s all about finding money. As we are seeing, the markets...
Get a Rivian then. You can play with the flashlight in the door, stand on those two steps and see if you can put five people in it along with two in that storage area.
I checked on my computer with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Explorer, Opera and my iPad that has Safari. Everything works on all of them like you say. I might have Netscape Navigator on an old ancient laptop running Windows 3.1 but I could check that too if needed. I do not have Windows CE anymore, so...
I went to the Aptera dealer today and got some of those lights and sticking them on my Elio right now but I put in brighter bulbs so they will be like the turning headlight I have on my Tucker. I'll post some pics soon.
Elio couldn't offer a kit because they have no ability to make them. You'd have to get a company like Factory Five to make the kits. The problem is, it's going to cost as much as building an 818. In the end, do I want to build a $20K three wheeler or 818? For some reason, people think that...
I would think they would update the numbers. As of June 30, 2018 it was 65,460 reservations totaling $28M. From May 11, 2018 Paul said that it was $700M in sales. Cash Investment $41.6M, Loans $38M and $28M in reservations totaling $107.6M. I know those numbers are 11 months old so whenever the...
So this means, that Paul (the face of the company) should not address all of his stakeholders, stockholders and reservation holders? That the silent treatment is the best way to go about this? At this point, the die hard Elio supporters are nowhere to be found. There might be a few here or there...
