As for Vanderhall, you need to remember, it's all been funded internally within the family. So with that, nobody has any idea as to if they are making a fortune or losing their shirt. I do know that their car building experience and chassis design is part of their master plan to build EV's that...

Most of the components are made in the US. Contrary to popular belief, the supplier market is in hypermode due to so many making pats now in the US. This is because automation has solved the "Made in China" problem. There's a reason why Polaris is in Huntsville, there are at least 2 dozen OEM...

I never realized that you did not live in North America. As for the North America people, the Slingshot is made in Huntsville, AL. I've taken a tour of the factory and anyone can too. I suggest you all do this when you travel because you'd be amazed when it comes what is made in America. I...

I bet there was an asterisks on the whole thing. Remember, Elio told us all back on January 3, 2013 that production was to begin June 2014 and then exports be the end of the decade. Then on December 27, 2016 Elio told us that if you had a reservation you'd be getting it in 2018. It shows that...

What this tells me is that Sondors has got an overabundance of new owners and now they are going after the fleet market. It's that the fleet market is afraid because they need to get a loan to buy all of the vehicles, thus Sondors was nice enough to work out a deal with a financial institution...

I think the last real update that had real meat to it was when they covered the wiper. It was much more informative as opposed to telling us what we really should like. I've asked them to really go over the front suspension because that has changed drastically and the design the are going with...

Liability is not a big deal for what they are doing. It's basic machine production. They don;t have any trade secrets, it's not food or clean room production. They can do a limited run of the first 100 customers and you fit right in there. I would think this would be an excellent marketing...

Do you pick it up at the factory? If so, ask them if you can show up and at least see part of it being built, maybe at the end. I’d think they would like that as seeing it come off the line and after their checks, they hand you the keys. It might be 4-5 hours after it comes off the line before...

I see no mention of being nut free or made in a plant that's free of nuts (technically every plant, no matter what, employs a few nuts).

there's too much money going into solid state batteries. So it's not going to happen now but I suspect in 5 years we will see it finally get to limited production. Remember, not that long ago, nobody thought the current battery technology would be possible and here it is. Exciting times to see...

Plus the last time an Elio was seen by a reservation holder in person, was in May 2017. As for news, we could count the story about meeting with the Governor of Ohio that was in April 2019. Then the facebook posting from Elio after that.

Vanderhall has plenty of funding and it's family money. Here's an older article that's worth the read. For all I know they might throw in one of those smart toilets when you get one...

I'd buy those chips but I also need high in fiber, full days supply of vitamin C and part of a complete breakfast.

I guess it really comes down to how long you want to wait? So, when you first heard about the Elio, what did they tell you the production date was going to be?

I guess that makes sense. An Evergreen costs $20K and you can by lots of cars for that price. There's not as much of a selection but the same for the SOLO. When it comes to range, who'd want something that goes 100 miles on a tank and pay $5K more? So I hear you. Pay $5K less, get 4X the mileage...

There's always the Polaris and Vanderhall option for the people that must have a three wheeler. This past weekend, I took a test drive of a Vanderhall Speedster. This is because Vanderhall just opened up yet another dealer in our area. The only problem is it costs a fortune at $27K (you can buy...

We need to support all three wheelers. The more the better because it'll show consumer acceptance. That's good news for everyone.

Easy. Elio is like the 100+ other applicants for the ATVM loan that got rejected or companies stopped trying. Elio applied for it twice. It's been 8 years since the last loan and Elio motors stopped paying their ATVM loan guy a few years ago. It's a broken loan program and I wish the current...

So, when do you get yours?

How can they be BS. It would be like saying Elio Motors plans are BS. As we know they are not. So we have to accept Apteras plans as presented. If we didn't, then we would not support any startups. That would be bad for America and for the jobs that these companies will produce.
