Sorry guys. I was thinking that they just made 8-10 overpriced prototypes and then went back to developing it. I didn't realize they are in full production and cranking them out to customers on a daily basis. Anyone know how many they have sold at the base price of $12K? It has to be around 5K...
This has to be fake news. I heard over and over again a while back how Arcimoto was in production and delivering to customers. So this news of beta and pilot testing has to be just made up news.
As for those extra headlights, that's obviously an afterthought as they look like they bought a set...
We will be around Momentum V.480. By then and the subject will be along the line about how the Elio will save you $10K per year when it finally goes into production.
Something like this?

If they made this where it would fit an Elio, you could go camping:

or Mount this on the Elio roof rack:

The ATVM loan program is alive and well. Anyone can apply too.

Elio won't need the loan anyway. With the amount they will raise from the Eliocoin, why take out a loan you have to pay back with interest as opposed to just getting free money...
I can't find the story right now but there was one, where a writer for something online decided to see how far he could string along the ones that call about you owing back taxes and they are from the IRS and will accept payment with iTunes gift cards. It was pretty funny but sad. The guy had...
Norton is like taking your house and having the outside of it built up like a prison. Then every time you need to enter, there are 20 checkpoints. After that, they keep coming by every 2 minutes and checking to make sure you should be there in the first place. Top it off, they decide to fire off...
This is exactly the problem with trying to do mass production vs low volume. It seems like something like a bumper cover should be easy for anyone but it's not when you are cranking out lots of them. Expect Elio to have the same quality control issues due to them having no experience with high...
On my BMW, there's a software change that makes it pretty much like a European model. It allows you to change when the engine comes on. Instead of waiting until you are down to 10% battery, you can move it to 50% and I think lower. So, I set it low once every two months and purposelessly burn...
I think my box is better. I bought it used for $150. Took 10 minutes to install. I took it to a chassis dyno and it makes 42hp more at the wheels. If I don't like that extra power, I can take it off in 10 minutes. If I wanted, I could buy the brand new version and get 70hp minimum.
Turbos on small engines end up being the best way to get great fuel mileage. Since it's getting to be older off the shelf components, it's why all of the manufacturers are doing it. Cheap and easy for them to do. One other thing is because of electronics. Today they can control so many things...
Last time I seen an Elio show and talked to the Elio Motors Employees, they told me that they would be showing the cars, taking orders, offering test drives and processing new cars. Only reason I asked it was because when they were going to start selling them, I wanted to wait a bit and then go...
I changed my mind. Giving Americans the choice of having DRL's or not by a simple zero cost engineering change and giving them the choice if they want them or not by a twist of the left wrist is the best way to go. How about we just wait until the feds tell us what is best for us, because that...
As it sits (quoting someone else) "It's as clear as mud."
So it's just speculation covered by the official catch words or "scheduled" and I assume when Elio cranks out the good news on the latest blog it'll include the word "targeted".
I'm just going to go back to "coming soon" with the...
