Workhorse Truck: https://workhorse.com/ Workhorse truck to be built in Lordstown, OH (the shuttered Chevy Cruze plant Elio could have used): https://electrek.co/2019/05/28/workhorse-plant-gm-trouble/ Here's the Jeep thing: https://bollingermotors.com/

That's 2.5 years old. Here's something more up to date: https://www.wxyz.com/news/ford-repackages-factory-investment-plan-will-add-900-jobs-in-michigan

At this point I think if it was 50% USMCA/NAFTA/North American content, nobody would care. It's not like everyone celebrated when VW started building the Passat here in the America, employing about 2K Americans and using 85% North American Content starting in 2012. So, I doubt it's a deal...

They make motion sensors for lights. Like in every hotel in Europe, they go out with no activity in the hallway and then turn on when there's activity. No need to turn them off, they will do it automatically. Move around, they come back on.

That's incorrect. You need to look at the global market, not the US market. There were at least 10 other engines that were more efficient that Elio could have used. It's that everyone just kept thinking "Geo Metro" because that's all they knew. Also, the EU made a special case for emissions and...

Maybe I should apply for it. If I get it then I can just greenlight the Elio loan then.

You are thinking like Elio Motors then. Aisin is the transmission supplier to Elio and for all we know, Aisin could be their supplier of toilet seats in the Elio plant. Why build a toilet seat when you supplier can do it for you? http://www.aisin.com/product/life/home/ I've used these toilet...

I had a conversation a while back with a guy who worked for Carbon Motors. They applied for an ATVM loan. If you don't remember, it was going to be a purpose built police car that was going to have the drivetrain and suspension from a BMW 535D. They had a working prototype and a plant in Indiana...

It's time for Paul to come out of hiding and address the people. It's not going to get any better.

Thanks for finding that. It looks like to me that Elio is looking to raise $25M in the pre-sale. This sounds just like what they said for the NASDAQ offering but it was for $100M. Then for the IPO, it was up to $25M but raised $16M. My concern is that if they raised $25M, that it would do this...

Best thing to do is take the current date and go 76 weeks in the future. If it takes the Eliocoin to fund this project and it comes out at the end of the year, that would mean they would start working in January of 2020 because since they have only a few employees, they will need to be going...

That makes much more sense. It'll be interesting to see how that works out. I wonder what the end of the year is? Will that be December 31 or maybe a few weeks earlier? I'd think that they would like to get it done either a few weeks before Christmas or after the New Year. Typically that's then...

The main reason for doing it that way was because the #1 warranty issues with transmissions was people overfilling them because they would check the level when it was cold. So eliminating it, fixed that problem.

Remember, the 9 that are out will be in when Elio announces production, same for the maybe group.

The way transmissions are filled today are through the bottom and have no dip stick. They have a 2 part drain plug. The inner part is where you fill it by pumping it into the pan. That part has a stove pipe in it so when the fluid level in the pan goes above that pipe, it’ll run out when you...

The questions you asked are a bit combative and I doubt you will get an answer

I would put it this way. I was looking for some engineering, R&D and testing updates. The information in the blogs are dated and have been repeated, so something more recent (i.e. 2018 to today) would be appreciated but not something that is in the existing blogs or press releases. A few...

That’s why Ford is treading water at the moment. Most of their job cuts have been in Europe. Typically, we never hear of that in the US. Just like we never heard about GM’s mass exodus out of Europe and South America. GM even shut down the Australian plants and engineering/R&D centers and now...

Read the SEC filings from the last 5 years. GM is selling lots of assets and business. If you think the US is bad, come here to Europe. They are all about gone. Same for South America. They are praying that China will work but the 800lb Gorilla (VAG) is going to kill them. GM is a shell of...

I’m confused about the 10 Eliocoins. What’s an Eliocoin worth? They need $376M so does that mean that the coin is worth $37.6M? Even the $25M they are looking for, that would be $2.5M/coin. No matter what, it better be a fleet of awesome Sig edition Elio for that price. If it’s, buy an Eliocoin...
