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...

I just went down to Alton, VA. In PA is was $4.30/gal. On the way down to VA, it got cheaper (which I expected). On highway 29 to Danville, VA I filled up in Tightsqueeze, VA for $3.79/gal. Yet in Danville, VA it was at $4.19/gal. On the way back, it seems that on highway 29, the gas was...

So I looked into that Blackstone e series. The price is a bit high as compared to the Presto. Plus it does not look like it's very portable as compared to the Presto. I like my current Blackstone as it's great for once I get set up and when I like to have my own time outside with a cup of coffee...

I can’t wait for the review. I have been looking for an electric one and wanted to see a real world experience on one. I have the room to store a unit like that as there are times when I need something super easy to set up and go for just one or two of us in a jiffy.

I use the Blackstone 2 burner. A while back my wife and I were at a Harvest Host and in this pic, was searing Tuna and cooking Broccoli. As you can see this was in a corn field. I like the Blackstone but my only complaint is that the gas receptacle sticks outside of the unit. Thus you must be...

Let's remember, Elio started this project in 2008 and was not asking for reservations until 2013. So, he had a running and drivable product that made for great videos. Yes, he made some big claims and thus we now see that being critical about the whole project was frowned upon up until recently...

So if I built a three wheeler that was gas powered, FWD, had heat and enclosed, what would you pay for that? Remember, all of the other items that were mentioned in my previous post, are not included as this will meet your criteria. There has to be a price and saying that it's "priced right"...

What is an "Elio Like Vehicle"? There were many selling points of the Elio and I wonder what people would be willing to give up. Look at the Elio selling points that got people to put down a deposit: 1. 84 mpg 2. $6800 (later changed to $7450) 3. Five star crash rating (dropped to engineered to...

We need to bet using Eliocoins (EC). I'll bet 2EC that it'll be March 19th. They will wait a day and then make an announcement. For 5EC, the announcement is, "We are looking for funding and it's been promising. The production date potentially will be the first quarter of 2024."

It doesn't suprise me. The F500 motor that Elio is going to use was short lived in it's excitement (since we have no idea what it is and that the announcement was only a short 3.5 years ago). Same for the Eliocoin (approximately the same time). I suspect that you can only make so many...

What people need to remember is that necessity is the mother of invention. Thus recycling will happen and it will be developed because it will be required. So when people think that all of the old EV batteries will just be thrown into a landfill, is shortsighted. Remember, there was a time where...

This is why if you look at cell phones and their history. At one time, they were super expensive and had very limited coverage. At that, there are still places that have no coverage thus a land line is required today. Not for everyone but it’s just an alternate method of communication which in...
