Does it have a backup camera? Those are great if you have back problems or limited mobility. It's a bit hard to get used to it because you want to turn around but after a while, you get used to it.

You never know, the Elio toaster might be under your Christmas tree this year:

According to the 4 must haves, #3 has this: "Elio is American-made targeting utilization of 90% North American content" That's been there for a long time and it has the infamous Elio word "targeting". The blog says this: "Nearly 90 percent of the parts that comprise our cars will be produced...

You can thank VW for the EPA changing their tests for everyone. Now it's pretty much impossible to do it. In the end, VW got punished here in the US more than companies that lied about ignition switches and another one about airbags and another one about their cheating diesels. If VW would have...

My old VW had two three sun visors. The third one was a mini one right above the rear view mirror. Was nice to have and I left it down most of the time. Elio needs two. That way you could rotate either one over the side windows for that sun which comes in the left or right side.

You 2017 Dodge does have driver aids. It has ABS, TC and stability. If you are looking for even something cheaper, drives more like a regular car then get a VW Jetta. VW is one of the last few companies that offer a manual transmission. The only nanny they have (except for the mandatory ABS, TC...

From what I have read, Sondors is going to have them built in China. That makes sense since China is way ahead of the rest of the planet when it comes to affordable electric cars and cycles. Then it works out for Sondors because they can sell them in China and not have the 28% tariff to deal...

In my area we are a big hub for distribution warehouses. It's because we have less taxes and cheaper real estate as opposed to NJ. So, building them on the border along with easy access to the NE corridor, they build them here. What i see are tons of trucks going back and forth to Newark, NJ to...

The digital dashes can be made to look analog. In the end, water, oil, tach and speedo are digital sensors that are fed into the CAN-BUS then it goes to the instrument cluster that just drives stepper motors. The problem with regular clusters is that you can only fit about 4 gauges in them...

The problem with some of these companies is that the technology they have is not exclusive and they end up failing in the OEM integration thus they go out of business. This happened a few years ago in the instrument cluster industry as the digital companies failed in OEM integration and the...

What will Acrimoto and Sondors do for parts and service? Just like with Elio, they can't build perfection and most of your customers do not have the ability to work on it. Elio has Pep Boys and Elio will fill in the Pep Boys gaps (i.e. St. Louis) with an alternate service/parts/warranty/recall...

Do you know this for a fact? If so, can you please provide supporting info? Knowing for a fact that they will be supplying everyone with an Elio in 2019 is huge news and that the NASDAQ plus ATVM are coming through. I think many here would like to see that info because the OP and 65K other...

For Elio, they have been looking for money since day one. So, the situation they are in is not unique to them. As an investor today, I can imagine the questions they would be asking. They do look over the SEC filings and will ask questions. Things like: 1. You were showing the car and idea for...

There is some more good news with the new lobbying firm that replaced the old one for Elio. Looks like the man upstairs is lending a hand in the Elio lobbying effort but unofficially. https://www.politico.com/story/2017/11/15/inside-the-lewandowski-embassy-244910

Elio did like many other startup car companies did. They relied on the ATVM loan for their business plan. No matter how many times Elio indicated they didn't need it, by looking at the numbers, they did. As we all know, companies like V-Vehicle, Bright Motors and Carbon Motors didn't get the...

Can someone point me to the news on the funding progress? I can't find it.

I was in China for 5 months and couldn't access anything Elio. So, I figured that when I got back, there would be a change. Guess not. Same people waiting for the same thing with the same 18 months lead time on the product. On the other hand, the Chinese are full steam ahead on EV's, so I do...

Something to remember is that the Elio is considered a motorcycle. Thus it only has to meet motorcycle emissions. Exhaust emissions are not just CO2, but hydrocarbons, CO and NOX. NOX is what VW got nailed on because everything else was fine but NOX was too high. There are a few other things...

Here's how it works. A when a company (i.e. Tesla) has sold 200K vehicles, the $7,500 tax credit (100%) will continue to the end of the following quarter. The next two quarters, it becomes $3,750 (50%). The next two quarters after that it's $1,875 (25%). From the best I can tell, Tesla should...

Tesla finished out the day at $306.01. It seems like that the failure of Tesla is a good thing. I don't understand the logic in that. If you are a fan of American made and American jobs, you'd want them to succeed just like Elio. Tesla employs about 30K people and it would be a shame to see them...
