Just run another frame rail across the back and then run it up to the one on the left side. If needed, make that bolt on as to allow for rear wheel service. Look at how a hitch works for a recent Jeep Wrangler. It's super simple and bolts to the existing frame rail in the vehicle.

I look forward to the BEX. I do ask you, since you can get a free test drive in a Vanderhall, when are you going to do that? You are a three wheeler fan and wouldn't it be nice to drive one. I'd love to test drive a FUV but I can't as I'm not allowed as I live in a state that they will not sell...

This is big news. On the other hand, when Elon farts, the world knows it within a minute. I can't find any information that he is interested in Elio and it sure is not on his Twitter feed. As we all know, he announces everything on that platform before telling anyone else. Then, we should be...

One thing to look into is to include something for a rear receiver hitch. For example a Jeep is really easy to do as they literally designed it where it's pretty much a piece of channel that's welded to a 2"ID square tube. The channel just bolts on with 4 bolts. On;y reason I say this is that...

Since we are talking about three wheelers, Vanderhall should be celebrated as a startup company that took an idea for a three wheeler, got it to production, selling it to everyone in the US along with service centers and dealers. Yet I see great love for a company that took about 2X as long to...

Essentially what Vanderhall has done but it was privately funded, they sell nationwide with service and dealers that anyone can test drive for free. They were founded in 2010 (four years after FUV) and got NHTSA and EPA certification in 2016 and rolled right into production (three years before...

I don't believe that at all. It would seem like it because if you like something and it never comes to fruition, then it's easier to believe in the boogyman as to the reason why it failed. Case in point, Elio. It would be easy to think that the powers at the "Big 3" were going to make sure he...

I did those two weeks ago but on the tail end of smoking a brisket. For the brisket, I sliced it up, froze and vacuum packed it. It seems to age quite well and works for a nice quick meal when we are in the RV. I also do the same with wings. We have a local store that sells "party wings" which...

What are you going to smoke? Inquiring noses want to know.

That works. I guess what it shows is that people have moved on because they know Elio is done. I would think that it has to make Paul a bit depressed to know that the last place that was supporting him, has decided to move their interest elsewhere. There might be one or two that will not give up...

I'll nit pick too and use what Elio Motors reported on their SEC filings: As we can see, 21,195 are in a binding purchase agreement to buy the Elio at $7K. They are required to buy the Elio no matter what they offer. The leagalese goes both ways. Non refundable means non refundable. Binding...

As you know, what you need is some feedback. Last thing you need is for having a bunch of cheerleaders that accept everything you say. Then that leads into a situation where it's like a company that has "yes men" who work for you. I've watched this happen over the years and in the end, it never...

It'll be interesting how the 12V option works. Since you can buy some pretty elaborate 12V jump boxes, it would be nice to hook up the jump box to the smoker and then park the smoker somewhere on the campsite (as we all know, right next to the RV might not be the best place). On the other hand...

1 - Elio got just over 21K to put down $1K and commit to buy. By how much they raised, the bulk were $100. I mention again, it took 52 months to get to 65K. When you look at the SEC filings, they garnered approximately 44K reservations the first two years they took them. So, when you look at a...

You are incorrect on #1. It took 52 months for Elio to get 65K reservations. As I have covered before, most were $100 deposits, thus not a glowing vote of confidence for the productions numbers Elio needed. Less than 22K people signed up for a $7K price tag and certified that they were actually...

It's just an observation as to what both sides have said. Think about how much more Elio was going to offer: - 65K units the first year - 125K-250K per year afterwards - 120 stores - Highly customizable vehicle - Training for the Pep Boys mechanics - Warranty operations - Parts warehouse and...

I'm looking forward to what you make with this smoker. One thing I have here at home is a PK Grill. Great for BBQ and smoking. I like it as it's cast aluminum, the base is aluminum, the fasteners are stainless. Plus the original version (which I have ) is made in the USA (Arkansas). It's easy to...

Exactly. Elio was offering way more than the BEX and at a lower price point. They should have started out basic and simple and skipped all of the big dream plans they had. We all know there was no way to offer a $6800 vehicle with the bells and whistles that Elio wanted. Then to top it off, the...

I put this on top of an old Coleman two buner stove (or campfire) and dump in some pellets. It does a good job as smoking and it is very portable. http://zivsmoker.com/

The new SEC filing will be out soon. Here's what it'll be: - 99% the same as the last one - Approximately $20M more in debt - New date for production will be moved from the 4th quarter of 2023 to 4th quarter 2024 I do see Paul has yet another Linkedin page. This one has a new pic of him and a...
