Purchase one and you have a $8K car in the US that's perfectly legal and will not cost you any more. Unless you do it then you admit it cannot be done. I know it can't be done but it's up to you to prove it and thus let the other 65K Elio Owners that this will be what they can get and drive...

Over the last 10 years. Why have not Elio Owners used this as a stopgap solution? $8K for a brand new 4 seater ICE. It doesn’t get Elio documented mileage but it helps to buy it as opposed to the $30K gas hogs we are forced to buy. It’s a massive profit due to the price and mileage. With new...

When I was in China, I met a group of riders doing the circle around China. They all either had a KTM or BMW. There was 20 of them and they were from Germany, France and England. Sounds like quite the challenge but no surprise for seeing what Europeans do. They do the same thing where groups...

First off, I don't see a Chinese ever building an Elio. People need to stop thinking that the Chinese can do it all. They can do many things but building an Elio is not in anyones interest there or here. The Elio would never work in the Chinese market and unless the Elio was electric, they have...

Nope. It depends on the car. If the Micra is sold in the US and Canada, then you need to make sure it's OK from the NHTSA. Most Canadian cars are the same as US but unless you make sure it is, you will have some issues. Nissan has been selling the Micra for a while and due to it's price, there...

That's not true. You can bring over something that is 25 years old or something that is sold in the US and Canada (you still need to do some conversion and get an OK from the manufacturer that it in fact is the same as the US model). As for Mexico, forget it unless it's over 25 years old. NHTSA...

There's a few other things you need to look into. Tis is what Elio Motors needed to do last year to get current with payments, fines and penalties. I'm not counting the $545K because who knows what's going on there. Plus there's more (promisarry notes and whatnot) but let's just look at the big...

They will be back at the table soon. FCA has been trying to find a dancing partner for a while. We haven't heard much because Sergio died and thus they needed to get back on his bandwagon. FCA is like a red headed stepchild. Nobody really wants it. I suspect that the Renault/Nissan/Mitsu/who...

Tesla got a dose of reality. Even though they had already been making cars, when you crank up the volume there's a whole list of other issues. Even seasoned manufacturers run into production hell with new plants or assembly lines. It's that they can get it taken care of quicker and they are not...

Ford has a massive truck engineering department. With that and Rivians new blood, it’s a good marriage. This is what Elio needs too. It would pot the polish on that car and use Elio fresh blood to push in new ideas.

I bought a fake Beats Pill when I was there and that thing has worked like a champ. It was $5 and looks just like the real one. Then I bought a fake Tommy Bahama shirt and that lasted about 2 months. It was $10, so it all worked out. i did buy a solar powered Panda Bear that just shakes it's...

he has old pics of where the driving range was. It cuts across part of his backyard and that's there the golf ball graveyard is at. He calls the ones that show up, zombie golf balls.

The overall volume is what the plan is. Get it to go down. No different than why VAG bought Skoda and then it offsets the Bentley. One cheap car company to counteract the really expensive one. With Ford and GM, they do know how to make pickups and we as Americans, love buying them. GM and Ford...

I chalk it up on people spend money on strange things. Other countries got it figured out. Just make things and Americans will buy it. I've bought things and then wondered down the road, What was I thinking? What's really bad is if you go to Shanghai. They have a fake market and trust me, it's...

A customer of mine has a house that was built on an old golf course. He's had that house for 30 years and golf balls keep coming up here or there. Back on the tree line there must be 1000 of them in a huge pile.

Maybe just do Frisbee golf then. I can't imagine you need much for that.

Last July I was in Rutland, VT and there's a Mahindra dealer there. I stopped by and drove a Roxor. They converted it to street use and it had a license. They did it by registering it at a kit car and then made sure all of the lights worked. That took some work but it didn't look like much as...

There's lots of pics of a club bag in the Elio. So they must fit unless you have the Al Czervik sized golf bag.

Those are misleading titles. It's been known for years that manufacturers buy and sell carbon credits. Tesla is no different. Plus companies buy others just to get them too. For example, VAG bought Ducati. Seems odd for a car company to get into a small Italian manufacturer but in the EU...

When you go Golfing, you don't need a passenger. Having that extra space below the existing floor would be a cool selling point. Elio could do a tie in with Subway. They could come up with how many foot longs can you fit in the box. Maybe two footlongs and four, 12oz cans of your favorite...
