Remember Paul said the average cost of those 65K Elio's were to be $10,700 too. That means there will be plenty that will spend $13K on an Elio to offset the bare bones models. Then let's not forget the approximate $33M Elio is leaving on the table due to those reservations. In the end, who here...
What you would think is that Elio would have something right up front when you go on the website that would have the latest info. Right now, here's the latest and time from today:
MoU with new Engine - 9/27/2018 (5 months, 19 days)
Eliocoin offering - 9/20/2018 (5 months, 26 days)

You do realize what was wrong with Beetles and why they rolled pretty easy? It was the swing axle. When they went to IRS, it helped a ton. As for 911's, Porsche has beaten that horse so long, they got it figured out. It went from the SWB (which was a handful) to the LWB. Then they got rid of...
What you should do is the research when it comes to location for the panels. I see many panels here that are just stuck on a roof and point in all different directions and many are laying down too flat. The solar farms we have in our area (i.e. at the schools) are professionally installed where...
It also ensures that your school district doesn't turn into a dump. What you do is at least double the taxes that people with kids pay and what about families that have 6 kids as opposed to 1? Shouldn't the one family pay 6X as much? What you'll have happen is that people abandon their homes and...
They still owe on the equipment. They have sold off what they do not need (which if you looked at their ebay site was a bunch of outdated equipment that would work for a small startup operation). They sold around $5.8M in equipment and have about $875K left for sale. As of the rest, it sits and...
It all depends on what the forecast is and if they can meet it. If they can, it's a success. What SOLO is doing right now is just trying to get them delivered. It's no different when we celebrated that FUV delivered really expensive units to 10 people and one was some hollywood actor. Yes it was...
If they went bankrupt, the deal on the plant would end, the equipment would go up for sale and the refundables would get their money back. Whatever the money made on the equipment and remaining assets would go to the lease and loan holders. Then whoever owns the intellectual rights to Elio would...
All depends on what the company has forecast for numbers. It'll be X units for 2019 and then X for 2020. If they meet that number, then they are successful. If they have X plus 50% X in future reservations, then it's wildly popular.
With FUV and Solo, I don't see either getting any useful...
I did find out something depressing. If I get a $1K non refundable then, "Reserve by October 31, 2018 and receive a limited edition Elio T-Shirt." Looks like I'm 4 months too late.
On the flip side I get this, "The best part is you'll be one of the very first to receive delivery" and "An Elio...
If you are looking for a tax credit while waiting for your EV, then put all new windows in your house (certain ones that are more energy efficient), a new water heater, HVAC unit and insulation. I never hear anyone complain or willing to stop those tax credits.
You better let the Germans know this. I never realized that something like a VW beetle rolled because of it being RWD. With that now being a fact, then Porsche is in big trouble with their product line.
I'm lucky I never rolled my 914, 911, 928, 944 and Z4 because they were RWD. My Z4 I had...
$7500 Tesla E is the only way to go. Anything other than that, I won't buy it. My personal specs are set. If they made a $15K Tesla M (M is for Miata) then I'd buy it.
I have no problem with Nuclear power plants. Especially today where we have way more technology to keep things under control than we did back in the day. I live not that far from the Limerick Nuclear Power Plant. My previous next store neighbor worked there as an engineer. He loved it.
During...
I bet Elon is reading. Maybe he will buy Elio, take over that plant (because Tesla is growing so fast they need more plants) and then he will make the Tesla E (E stands for Elio).
BMW makes two SAC's. I posted the X4. The X6 is more like the X. It does look like the SAC will be the future. Then you have the 3 series GT which would be like a Model 3. Looks like to me that Tesla is just using the BMW playbook.
