Today's blog will start off with the first two paragraphs about the Superbowl. Think of it like chit chat before you go in for a meeting.
Hopefully the rest of the blog will be about how Phoenix Paul came out of his hole and saw his shadow. That means 6 more weeks of waiting until the big news.
In Germany, manufacturers license independent garages that can do service, parts and warranty work on new cars. For example, you don;t have to take a VW back to the VW dealer for warranty work. I expect that Elio will do the same as there are plenty of independent shops out there that would like...
Elio is going to have other shops become the official service centers for the Pep Boys Dead Zones. So, you'll be fine. Just like the St. Louis Metro area. It's huge and millions of people but there's no way Elio will leave that area without a service center either.
Best thing to do is go to the Elio Motors website and look through their Investor Relations page. You'll see that when they first released their financials back in August 2015, the money going out was exceeding the money coming in. Not enough people doing non refundables to keep the company...
This is why Tesla is saving Elio Motors. They keep getting stated to change their laws, it just makes it a turn key operation for Elio when they open up their 60 stores soon.
I do have to hand it to Elio, these are the types of blogs that are interesting and educational.
When I look at the Solo, it uses lots of off the shelf components and reminds me more of less when someone builds a hot rod in their garage. The Elio doesn't, as the majority of the components from...
The colors you could but the texturing, is part of the mold. So to change the texture of a part, requires a new mold. Things like the upper part of the dash is plastic that is then over molded with foam and the surface is part of curing process (same thing for steering wheels). That's why most...
That's right. Elio is going to build the engine in Shreveport. I would guess that selling the engine can't happen until Elio Motors outfits the plant to produce them. As for licensing, that's a hard sell since other companies make their own 3 cylinder engine for industrial use. Unless the Elio...
Talking about engines and since someone mentioned Rotax, why didn't Elio just use this 3 cylinder, 900cc 60hp unit? They fit in snow machines and jet skis, it certainly would fit into an Elio. They even make it in a turbo model with 154hp. From what I can tell, this family of engines have been...
My sister in law has seen a big cut in her stories she writes to get paid for. It's because 10 years ago everything was fine. Write a story, present it to various websites, they would have an editor check it and then they would take it with her getting paid for clicks. As of today, it's articles...
The SEC keeps them from reporting anything, even profits or losses. It's no surprise that they didn't report anything.
What is legal is of Elio Motors would change their name to Elio Blockchain. Then the price of their stock would skyrocket just like Long Island Iced Tea which became Long...
Elio has virtually crashed and tested their car but it was back in 2015 with the wrong chassis. So, I assume the SEC keeps them from releasing any video on crash testing with the new unibody, thus the reason why you won't find any info on it.
If you read the blog, it's more forward thinking and...
Virtual crash testing is like virtual car design. You do it virtually, build it physically and then test it to see how it compares to the virtual world. As for the IIHS and NHTSA, they could care less about virtual, they do real destructive testing. It's that the NHTSA sets the minimum standards...
Elio took care of that issue back in May, 2016.

Since we are talking about insurance, doesn't that mean that the insurance industry might charge more for an autocycle over a car just due to the increased amount of damage? Plus, a Morgan, Vanderhall and SRK are not 365/50 cars. Only the Elio is. Then for the Solo, you can't just pack up and do...
