That would be Vanderhall, then Lucid and Rivian (the last two went through a much more rigorous certification process). At least Vanderhall did it really fast, set up a nationwide dealer and service network. Now they are selling them in Australia. We should be celebrating that as it's a three...

Elio was full of interesting wording. The "up to 84 MPG" is a tough one because, what is that? How do you calculate MPG? Is it the Elio standard? Maybe the UK standard? As we all know, in the UK, they use a different standard and calculate it with the Imperial Gallon, yet they say "MPG". I can...

Have you had to load up and get out the Davey Crockett Grill yet? I'm wondering how it works for ease of loading and unloading. In July, we will be in NH and ME for three weeks, so I'm considering it for that trip. I'm also going to Watkins Glen in June and that might be a trial too.

I ask this, "Half as wide as what?" Width means nothing, frontal area is a whole different story. For example, when we talk about full width, the Elio was wider than a C6 Corvette. The way I see it, Paul was talking to people that are not engineers and thus know nothing about things like fluid...

I really want to see how it works for the pizza.

One company literally built and got their three wheeler on the road with NHTSA and EPA certification (which is not easy) in 6 years. Then they set out to form a dealer network for warranty and service along with parts. They did what no startup has ever done when it comes to three wheelers. Yes...

Just remember to use the word "hangry".

I'd call FexEx and tell them that you are hungry.

It's handy for when I go in the RV. A while back, I took ribs that I had done a few months ago and took out one of the bags and set them on a tree stump to defrost. Threw them afterwards on the Blackstone for a few minutes and has that part of a meal. I honestly think it's better than right off...

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...
