If you look at the detailed report, what made it rate so bad, was that it doesn't have all of those electronic nannys on it and it's not good for people with children in kids seats. So, as long as you don't have any kids (or they are grown up) and you hate all of those nannys that are on cars...
You bring up a good point. They could build a $30K Elio and be much further along. That's not what the design parameters are, thus it's far from complete.
As for assets, it's a 42% design that needs $85M more to be complete. A number of prototypes and whatever IP they have. They don't own any...
Lottery tickets are not bad. Yesterday I welded up the cracked frame on my neighbors snow blower. This afternoon, he gave me 5 scratchoffs and a 6 pack of beer. Sat down, had a beer and won $25. Not a bad day for 30 minutes of work.
I'm not talking about selling or buying classic cars but talking about when those classics were new. Classic cars sales are driven by old white guys that can now afford what they couldn't when they were a teenager. It has nothing to do with how it compares to today and what you can get. The...
I've had this conversation before with people that tell me how great old cars were. I remember a time when over 40K was considered high mileage. Getting 100K out of a car was a major accomplishment. Today, 100K is the norm. There was a time you had to go in and get a 1K mile inspection which...
Here's an interesting one. It's the production of the i3. When you watch it, you'll see that the chassis is aluminum and the body is made out of a variation of carbon fiber. It's an interesting video because it shows much more than I would ever expect from a manufacturer. Plus, you see how...
My mistake. I found a conversation back on November 29th and we were talking about facts under the "Somethings Gotta Give". What I found is that it will probably happen Spring 2018. That is not the same as "It's going to happen Spring 2018". Sorry.
I did find this post though (the same date)...
I would not call Paul an excellent engineer for the field he decided to go into. He's an excellent dreamer and salesperson. Obviously, he can now add fundraiser to his credentials. The thing is, he has has his own engineering firm going constantly since the early 2000's. So maybe he should just...
Even though the NASDAQ listing is going through in the spring he needs to calm down the current stockholders and let them know that something big is going to happen soon but he can't tell you what it is and when. Maybe something like the long term testing of the engine or a video of Continental...
Something happened because at this point it'll be at $2 unless some good news comes out on Friday. Maybe the NASDAQ listing? Maybe approval of the ATVM loan? Maybe Berkshire Hathaway named as another clue chip supplier for Elio Motors?
I do a fair share of cycling but I have my concerns with those recumbent. The group I ride with there is a guy who has a cruzbike and two other recumbents. What I see is this. When he climbs, he's all over the road (which shows up on the cruzbike video). This was true with the other recumbents...
You could just add a question to weed out the people that don't belong. Something like this: "Did you buy an Eddie Bauer Ford Explorer because it made you feel like a real adventurer?"
I assume that Elio is keeping everything at the Elio Engineering facilities and probably just running that business while the Motors side gets back up and running. I do know this is an excellent time for smaller automotive engineering companies to be in business because everyone of them I know...
Another issue is that whenever there are federal, state, local grants or cheap loans, it brings everyone out of the woodwork. A few actually do well, a few fail and a bunch try. I see this all over the country. There will be a new technology park that will have all of these incentives, tax...
