I'm one of those cyclists that clog up the roads and impede peoples careers. So I support taxing cyclists along with others that clog up the roads. This will include; Horses, Amish, Runners, Walkers and Farmers. All of them pay zero road tax and the farmers even have tax free fuel. Around me...

The good thing is that Tesla is getting the price down little by little. $35K for a Model 3 is not bad. It's good to see Tesla making progress. I'm amazed at how many they have delivered so far. At the end of 2018, they were at approximately 145K Model 3's with 60K of them being in the 4th...

Remember, it took 52 months to get to 65K reservations. If Elio would have got 65K reservations in 6 months, then that would have demonstrated significant interest in the product where 200K wouldn't be a stretch. As has been covered before, when Elio sells those first 65K units, they are banking...

I found a documentary on the JD Power awards:

The title of this thread should be, "Why can Chinese startups design, produce and sell cars much faster than we can in the US?" I see this as a cautionary tale for people in North America, Japan and Europe. Just those three I mentioned struggle with startups trying to build something like a car...

I guess the problem I have is I live out in the sticks. It takes me 90 minutes to get to the tiny towns of NYC and Philly. For some reason FUV, Solo or Kandi don't have a service center for me to go to when non EV items like the gearbox, electronics, suspension or body gives me a problem. Last...

Also, you need to watch the last 30 seconds of this video and see why Paul has pretty much dissipated and is not making any claims for when production will begin. This is the SEC gag order. If you want to see this happen over an over, invest in Biomed or Pharm stocks. New companies tend to get...

If you can show me where he says 76 weeks at that date then I will still question the other statements made by the company after that date. Paul should not tell the world that it's 76 weeks in May 2018 and then he tells the SEC and everyone on Facebook that it's 76 weeks in February 2019...

There's nothing wrong wit Chinese manufacturing. I've spent months at a time there working with them and have seen a side that probably most would rather not want to see. For me it's not as much as the manufacturing but the after sales support. Even the best widgets sold do fail right out of the...

Trust me, some very smart people have bought items and then find out the service after the sale is not there or really sub par. I'm not smart at all and have taken the chance on items that I really should have known that they might become a problem. I tend to look at people like me that don't do...

On 5/11/18 Paul Elio said:"It'll be 76 weeks plus a small number." This is at the 7:29 mark. On 11/18/18 Elio motors said, 76 weeks timeline (on page 8): https://ir.eliomotors.com/all-sec-filings#document-380-0001140361-18-042917 If you go to the Elio Motors official Facebook page dated...

I'm just trying to be realistic. I bet everyone here has bought something in their life that when it broke, it turned out to be a real challenge to get it fixed. These EV's are a pretty good investment and when it does break, you want to make sure it can get back up and running without jumping...

Elio will not go into production before August 6, 2020. So, you already have one stipulation not met. Does that mean you are done with Elio?

When you get your Solo and two days after that it's DOA where you turn it on and nothing happens, are you willing to diagnose and work on it yourself? If you are, then that's great. problem is, it it requires a mechanic with a full blown shop to own one then that is a problem for everyone else...

I have contacted both and it's very murky. I just worry that having such a great product can be ruined if the customers have a problem after the sale. Assuming that all owners will wrench on their own car is not the way to go. Many do not have the ability, space or desire to do so. Why would I...

I ran into a situation about 20 years ago. When I was riding my motorcycle, I was rear ended by someone at a stoplight. It broke my hip and left leg. So I was not in any shape to get around. When I was able to do it with limited mobility, I seen the world quite differently. I was pretty much...

That's a concern for me. Think about it. If someone buys a FUV, Solo or Kandi in my area and the gearbox takes a dump 2 weeks after I receive it, how does that get repaired? How does warranty work? I know I could fix it but if there's a warranty, it's not my problem, it's theirs. These are the...

I wonder what happens if i buy one and 2 weeks later it breaks down. Who fixes it? This is the same for the FUV and Solo. It's super exciting to see these new EV's but something like the FUV is not very FUV if it breaks down and there's nobody to work on it.

They never got the federal Autocycle legislation. What Elio did do is pave the way for other autocycles, current and future. That's good.

If you are into conspiracy theories, then Rivian will be out of business next week. Same for Atlis and Tesla. Not just the Big 3 but Big Oil will kill off any EV truck.
