I think we are talking about Elio Motors, not the employees. Even if the company is not making a product, they still have to pay their employees because if they don't, they will go get paid elsewhere because they need to eat too. My guess is that Elio Motors has one or two employees at the...
That is something to consider. Even on my way back from VT, most of the roads were snow packed and that was not a problem. The issue I could see is when it warms up just enough where there are tracks down to the pavement and the center had at least a 2" berm of snow. When you changed lanes you...
Right now it's not as much a snow problem but cold weather problem. I came back from VT yesterday and it was around -15 to 0. One day it made it up to -7. Made for cold skiing.
For us, a pork roast, sauerkraut, diced raw onions and mashed potatoes. I take a big helping of mashed potatoes, pour in the liquid that came off the pork roast, add a bunch of the raw onions on top along with the sauerkraut and pork. It ends up getting all combined and looks like a mess but...
If you watch the video, it's not ready for production even though it looks like it does in videos. Just like the Elio. Marketing can easily fool you into a prototype being production ready. For Elio, the only thing everyone here has done is sit in one and watched videos of it drive in parking...
I never even realized the whole Elgin instrument cluster thing until they mentioned that it'll become an option in the future. On the other hand, this is why Elio needs to go all digital on the cluster because it's cheaper and then they can charge a premium for an Elgin upgrade.
The one Ford dealer here had that for a few years but dropped it. I think it makes sense because the other Ford dealers are into trucks but not as much as this one. Plus, they do not just the fleet trucks but even the hydrogen and electric powered trucks/vans/people movers.
It's actually true. My sister in law runs a Buick dealer and a few years ago there was a sports sedan they made and it got rave reviews because they offered it in a manual. GM got lots of likes and positive feedback because they would buy a Buick because it was one of the few left with a manual...
Imagine if someone asked if Elio was going to offer an automatic. Then Paul responds with, "People don't get it, they don't need an automatic, so we are only offering a manual." At that moment, Elio Motors is out of business. I know the manual only people would disagree because manuals are...
Elio forgot to mention the Yugo. It's what came after the Beetle and fulfilled the need for cheap transportation. It was $3,990 back in 1986 which would be $8,900 today. Then after that was the Geo Metro. It was $6,750 in 1991 and that's $12K today. The Elio is really the 5th wave of affordable...
It's a catch 22 for GM. The GMC brand has a following and so does Chevy. It's just branding but in the end, it works out the GM. Many like going to a GMC dealer because they are all working on trucks and thus geared for that. We have a Ford dealer here in town and it's the dealer to do go for...
It really works well for doing fish and cold smoking. Once lit, put a aluminum foil tent over it and let it do it's job. It also works well for smaller amounts of meat you want to smoke because of the slow burn rate and you don;t have to mess with it for around 4-5 hours.
Ford truck sales were up 5.2% in 2016 with that aluminum truck.
The sales for the first 11 months of 2017 and 2016, shows this.
2016 - 733,287
2017 - 807,379
2016 - 820,799 (all 12 months)
Aluminum truck sales will be up yet again because all Ford has to do is sell 13,420 trucks in December...
I put in the address and another company has been operating out of at building since 2010. So, ESG has not updated their address on their website. I'm now wondering where the ESG Engineering corporate headquarters and engineering facility is. It seems that just changing a phone number, email...
In August:
Paul: 18.5%
ESG: 44.9%
Stu: 29.3%
Ken: 0.6%
James: 0.5%
In December:
Paul: 18.5%
ESG: 44.9%
Stu: 23.0%
Ken: 0.6%
James: 0.5%
if you look back in May (technically the filing for December 2016), Paul and ESG own the same number of shares that they did in August and December.
Not according to the SEC filing. In August, Elio Engineering (which Paul is the director and majority shareholder) and Paul Elio himself own 63.4% combined. If you look at the latest OTCQB certification, Elio Engineering and Paul Elio own a combined 63.4%. Stu did sell stock which makes sense...
If you watched the price when the NASDAQ news came out, it dropped down low right before that then it went through the typical three hump price and then settled back down again. It was interesting to see it drop before the announcement as someone knew good news was going to happen. This is where...
