Here's a milestone that was in January 2016: "Elio Motors today announced it has taken another major step forward by beginning the production process for its E-Series of engineering and testing prototype vehicles."...

This is one of the best products I've seen in a long time. I've seen it in person on racecars and it looks as good as a brand new car. http://rethinkpaint.com/

That's right. Plus he must not be under a gag order from the SEC because if he was, he will be in big trouble. I guess we will know soon.

The CEO of Arcimoto commented on a YouTube video and set things straight? That's a novel idea.

Honestly, you still have to pay yourself. I don't really care and that's up to the business itself. Only thing that matters is getting it going. If that would take hiring 5 people and paying them $500K for a year, then I'm all for it as long as they get the results.

Looks like the video is up to 102,503. I looked up and found the previous Elio video is up to 110,327 and it went up 11 days earlier.

I could do it and would in a heartbeat. On the other hand, I don't want to ruin my life on something that I don't see that would be successful in the long term. I could easily see a divorce in my future and me living in a trailer just trying to hope I get this thing going. I've watched too many...

Not really. What it shows everyone is that with social media and the internet, it's hard to back away from what you said. This becomes something that ends up being where an investor will look at this and then ask today, "What happened?" and "Why should I invest in you?" If it was Paul talking...

That would have been January 3, 2013. I guess you watched this video and were excited especially at the 8:34 mark and then the next minute which got you excited. 18 months that they will be doing it and by the end of the decade, they will be exporting them.

I can tell you what will happen. Elio starts to sell 125K to 250K units per year. Of the few states that make you have a M class license will adopt what the rest have and a non M can drive it. The post that was given was from three years ago and Elio motors went to bat for Polaris and got things...

Cellulose fuel has been around a while In the ALMS, Corvette started using a mix of 85% Gasoline and 15% Cellulose Fuel (ethanol) back in 2008. It works but the issue is the same with anything that uses Ethanol. It takes twice as much as gasoline to do the same amount of work. So, your Elio will...

Remember, it took 52 months to get to 65K reservations. If 65K would have happened in 2013, then that would have been a great boost for the company to get proper funding. That comes down to 1,250/month or 15K/year. Then it went to a trickle. Remember, we now have the beginning of people that put...

I've been in the Elio twice. For the driver, it has plenty of room, as for the passenger, that's a toss up. On the second sitting for an Elio, I ended up getting in the back and had someone get in the front, adjust it and then shut the door. I could live back there but I don't think it would be...

I don't know of anyone that does that. It's literally the opposite. It's all of the good points and what Elio has done, is hit on many of those for a long time. They have every reason why it's the car for everyone and why everyone needs to buy it. The investors are the ones that open up the...

I was looking at the specs and just like the 84/49 mpg and $7450 price gets thrown around, then I was going to just assume the weight along the same thought process. I did see that the Slingshot was 1,743 lbs. The Slingshot is a steel tube frame and uses a larger engine but it has an aluminum...

I'm just thinking the same way Paul Elio does. He's expecting to sell Elios for $10,769 average price (as per what he said). So, he's counting on the Elio owner to not just buy the bare bones model but to add $2,324 in options and $995 more if they want an auto. For every bare bones model, there...

When I was looking up some information about the Vanderhall and headlight, I found something that makes no sense. We all know the Vanderhall is a 3 wheeler, aluminum chassis, carbon fiber body, has no airbags, basic comforts and pretty much half a windscreen and no other windows. The weight of...

That's great you are thrifty but you are not the customer that Elio is looking for. They are looking for the average customer where they can make money on. I could talk about how much money I save all day long but in the end, I'm not the average consumer. So I'm the niche. Sounds like you are...

The Slingshot has a center light too. The Vanderhall has two that look like they are close enough together that it must meet the requirements. So, I wonder if the Elio is in the same boat as the Vanderhall because they have no center mounted light.

Here's what Polaris has to say: https://slingshot.polaris.com/en-us/license-requirements/
