I don't think so at all. I've been proved wrong by other engineers and I want Paul to do it too. What I'd rather see is someone do what they say they can do, especially when they ask for other peoples money to make that vision a reality. So far we have seen the vision but not the reality.
The article referenced was a Chinese company buying fuel sells to use in their own company cars in China. I don't understand what that has to do with California and taxpayers.
I guess if Paul builds a "production" ready car for his neighbor, then they are production ready. If it's that easy, we need to let him know. In the world of manufacturing, there's a big difference from delivering 1 car to some unknown person as opposed to delivering 5000 of them. On the other...
It comes down to is what investors look at as opposed to everyone else. Elio publishes this information for all to see but investors are the only ones that care, thus the specific investors link. It looks like at this point, we really need to see what they are reading and getting as info. As for...
What you are saying is that you can't provide the answers but at least #1 was delivered and that's good enough. What are Arcimoto and Solo yearly production numbers then? Let's say, how many will they produce between January, 1, 2018 to December, 31, 2018. We are already at January 15, 2018 and...
I suggest that since you live in China, you need to take this up with them. As for here in the US, we don't have to worry about that. Only ones spending money on alternative energy has been shifted to the private sector which ends up being the private sector for non US corporations. Best thing...
Please provide the date of Arcimoto and EMV's customer #1 delivery and then how many they have delivered to todays date. I'm just curious as to when they made the first one and what the production rate is.
If you read the article, this is about China and not the US. I really encourage all of you to take a trip to China and get a wake up call. They don't do everything just because of the US market and what we want here. For the US, we only need ICE and everything else is a waste. That's because the...
This is why the ball is in Sondors court. We can all be in 100% support of the company and their plans but the reality is, what do they do from here on out. Do they celebrate meaningless milestones and then go into silence or keep everyone informed on their progress. As we all know, Elio has set...
On the Elio Motors site is this:
https://ir.eliomotors.com/
IR means investor Relations, not Ingersoll Rand. This is where you need to look at your info, not the glitzy website that is designed for unaccredited investors. Elio uses the wording "targeted" because they know that accredited...
Why is it a terrible idea? We all know that the H2 network in China is not good at all and FC's take up a lot of room. If you read the article you'll see why it's a great idea. They are using them for testing. So, it makes no sense for this Chinese company to develop their own H2 fuel cell when...
If you look on the new Elio Motors website:
As of June 30, 2017
65,373 Total Reservations (refundable and non refundable)
36,435 Total Reservations locked in at $7300
21,204 Total reservations locked in at $7000 and a binding purchase agreement
With that being pretty much 6 months old, I'd...
I'm not being negative, just realistic. This reminds me of a talk I went to at a conference called, “Ethics and Prototyping”. In a nutshell, years ago, it was to prove the concept, meet the specifications and then work on attractive packaging. That's what legit companies still do today. With all...
Actually I looked it up and October 2009 was when Elio Motors has the first archive and the green one is there. It's like the Sondors where is was for show. We all found out the Sondors is a show car and not close to anything production (i.e. can only go 20 mph, everything inside is just a...
Put it in perspective. Earliest I can remember, Elio had the green prototype all out and running around in 2010. Before that it was a concept or a non skinned prototype. So, just put Sondors at where Elio was in 2010. From there, we can watch how it outperforms, does the same or fails in the...
The interesting part is is this. I took $2K back in 2013 and with my brother in law, went aggressive and I knew the risk of losing was no big deal. In essence, it was play money. Just that $2K is now $4600. Most of that has been made in the last two years. At this point, if I reserved 2 elios in...
On the other hand, you either have insider information or you don't. What you do not want to do is post as to indicate you have insider info. Once you do that, then you will be considered an insider. A customer of mine ran into this about 10 years ago. He was looking to move his machine shop...
I used to have a 1980 Honda ATC. A few other friends had various trikes like it and we'd all go out on a frozen lake and have lots of fun. If you used a bunch of really short sheet metal screws with a hex head and put them in the knobbies, it gripped much better on the ice.
