You have to remember. The 3 wheeler market is only a niche and thus, there's no real reason to make a certain set of rules for them. Until that changes, then this is what you have to live with. As much as we know that the three wheeler market is going to explode, until it does, we have to wait...
What I like is that it's right on their website more than once and when you put down your $1K refundable deposit.
I think it's a good idea to have the most profitable versions first. This is because the Rivian Owners will be posting non stop on their respective forums and social media groups...
I know it won't be GM because they were going to partner with them and it never materialized. I will predict Ford and VW will make actual bodies for that platform (Ford and VW partnered up for small pickups). Literally, any company with body on frame experience, could throw a body on that...
Just like all the people that put money in this company that never made a product either. Best part is, they sold the assets to another company and are working on releasing a product that's already behind the technology curve. I bet it'll turn out just as successful, as apple and google both...
I can understand your frustration. The face of the company (Paul) has been silent for a long time. Not even Paul but anybody from Elio Motors. The last time I ever heard him speak on camera was May 11, 2018 in Shreveport. I seen him in a video in Ohio recently but no speaking or getting...
In addition to that, they had 60 days to prove the refundables are in escrow. That seems odd to me because I would have thought Elio would have proved that the first time they went to court. Last time I checked, that was around $1.2M.
Another example.
This is from the press conference at the Shreveport Plant in January 3, 2013 (on the Elio Motors YouTube Channel):
Paul: In the next 18 months we will actually be doing it (in reference to building the Elio in the Shreveport plant, which would be June 2014)
Paul: Before the...
Elio actually has. Here's one example:
Reporter: If I have my name on a reservation Paul, will I get that car in 2018?
Paul: Yes

It's at the 4:00 mark.
Do your in-laws take money for something they have never produced over the last 6 years? If i took $1K from you and promised to build you a house, would you be OK with it, if after 6 years that I haven't done a thing and you will never be living in said house no matter what, for the next 76...
Best part is, Elio will be releasing the SEC filing tomorrow. So we can see what's been going on and that will be only up to the end of 2018. So we get to see a glimpse into what has been going on. I like to see what Elio Motors posts because he gets past my personal opinions that litter my...
I forgot, Elio paid off that $23M loan on December 31, 2018.
Good to see Elio paid off that $3.9M (I wonder where the money came from?). So since that's taken care of, then I stand corrected. Only the lease and the $7.5M + $545K fines.
I have never seen anything of recent on the $1K per car...
Good to see you bought an American Made car. That plant employs about 3500 in Alabama. When I was traveling through Montgomery, I stopped by and got a factory tour. If anyone is in that area, they do a great job and you'll see where your Sonata was born.

It's like 25 years ago when we were installing autonomous fork trucks in factories. They were never going to work because of the unique environment of a factory floor. I heard about 1000 comments as to what we were doing was a waste of time. In the first year, there were some issues but I'm...
Its an R&D company. Not a manufacturer. I've met them before at SAE conferences. There are about 4 other companies that are trying to do the same thing. The downfall is that EV's are killing the alternate engine market. In addition to that, these engines are more or less, great for steady state...
I already checked and know how it works. If I'm wrong, then I'll be out $100 and the original owner will be only out $900. This is only about me and the the SIL owner that's 100% done with Elio. If I do it wrong, then it's my fault. I can live with a $100 mistake.
