Remember, with Theranos they were to do 200 tests and only accomplished 2. What I'd like to see is Elio to produce real world numbers that use the same exact specification they are comparing to. I can take a Ford truck and get 100 mpg without a problem. It's that don't ask me to do it with the...
It's a fact that the Elio gives 84 mpg and that it will sell for $7,450? Theranos was to make a small blood tester that was the size of a breadmaker that could do 200 tests without the need of a huge number of techs. It was to revolutionize the medical industry because the big companies were...
The best example I can look at is, Theranos. I forgot about the company but when the documentary came out, be brought up some interesting things. The company was not out to rip people off, but it cane down to that the technology for the required specs was never going to work. I met someone that...
Great post because this is why I brought up the "Hey Paul" when it came to this forum. Seems that there was very little interest. Paul wakes up every morning and checks the only forum left devoted to him and all he finds are posts about everything else but the Elio. I bet he would appreciate...
Texas Tesla used to be here under a different name. Mods deleted it about a year ago. He had a Smart Car, a Cobra from South Africa and was from Texas. Texas Tesla coincidentally has (or had) the same things and from the same state.
My guess is that there is such little interest in the Elio...
This is why you need to avoid Tesla. Battery technology will be outdated with Fisker. Toyota will keep up with the formula that works. Toyota didn't become a powerhouse by accident. With the new solid state that Fisker will be using soon, I can see a 200 mpg Elio using that same battery and...
Just so you know, that in the state of Louisiana, January 3 is their April Fools Day. I even have proof. Watch from the 8:30 minute mark and you'll see it's a fact. The thing is, Europe, China and South America won't realize that it was a Louisiana Aprils fools joke until the end of this year...
You are looking at this completely wrong. People are not looking at building an Elio and thinking they will spend $7450 for the whole project. What they are looking for is a kit they can build because they know they are going to spend $20K. It's not to be an everyday driver to get 84 mpg so they...
There's a guy over in Harrisburg that could do the body easily as long as there a 3D CAD file for it. He does bodies for racing and thus they take a car, scan it and then make the molds. These guys scanned in a 60's Ford Falcon and made a Trans Am body from that:
These guys scanned in a 1965...
You forgot to mention that the Chinese will charge everyone $20K for the Chelio and all of those people that signed the commit to buy will be forced to pay that because of a little unknown clause in that contract.
