Since the video came out, the channel has had 262,346 views and 95,473 (36%) have been for just Elio. That's $69.26 - $1,047 in earnings. So Elio accounted for $24.93 - $376.92 . It looks like that just making videos about Elio is more profitable than making the Elio. With all of these views...

My brother is deaf (has been since birth). He just uses the text option that you can use on youtube videos (just like on TV). He knows there are no Elios on the road.

Also, let them know in the corrections that Elio will start production at at unknown date which will be full funding plus 76 weeks. So for today, that's June 20, 2020 and that they will spend the first year fulfilling the 65K reservations. That means for new reservations, it'll be June 20, 2021...

Last month I was out in Nowheresville, Ohio working with a machine shop. The owner just got a new X5 and I asked him if they had opened up a pickup truck dealer because his lot is full of them. He has 60 employees and they did a survey on what people drove. It was 35 Ford Trucks, 20 Chevy...

In addition to that, we have all watched the major auto companies try to go electric and use existing gassers. In the end, it just doesn't work. They tried and that's why the next generation will be more along the lines of Tesla when it comes to design.

Why is the volume so low? That concerns me way more than the price.

What most people I know look at is that they use their car for more than just going to work. They haul kids, groceries and stuff. In this day of age where you are required to have a boatload of safety gear for babies and young kids to ride in a car, it has become a real pain to get them in and...

I'm not saying to use Tesla as a supplier but a technical partner would be something of a benefit. No matter what anyone thinks of Tesla they pretty much rewrote the book on EV's when it comes to packaging and technology. In my opinion when it comes to the engineering behind the car, Tesla beats...

I would never deal with GM on anything. Even though their electric car is loved by the owners, it's a horrible design and was only made to be a compliance car. GM made it too much like a gasser and then tried to convert it to electric. GM never got the full potential out of it. Plus the...

Here's what I'd propose (since I've never seen the latest 2016 model Elio I'll have to guess a bit). Change the chassis to accommodate a battery pack. So, whatever Tesla has done with the Model 3 battery pack, Elio would have to use that architecture but sized to fit into the Elio package. This...

I think you are right. People don't necessarily buy what they need because if they did, they would do two things: 1. Keep their car until it's too expensive to keep going. 2. Buy the cheapest no frills car they can buy which has a trunk and can hold 4 people (i.e. Nissan Versa). 3. Use public...

What Elio would have to do is knock it out of the park for Electric. So it really becomes a packaging issue. The floor and front of the vehicle needs to be full of batteries. That would require a chassis change as the current one would not have enough space. The reason for the amount of space is...

Elio is planning on an average selling price of $10,769 for the first 65K reservations ($700M/65K). So, that means that for the first 22K that locked in at $7K, and got a 50% bonus and 36K that locked in at $7.3K and got a 50% bonus. So, the profit margin on the first 65K with the bonus will...

Don't forget about the chassis mistake. I forgot about this until I read a comment on that video. So I had to go back and look it up. From 2009 to early 2016 it was to be a tube frame and non steel body panels. It never made sense to me and I asked them at two shows about this as they had a...

We still do not know the mileage, weight and emissions output. With that being the case it’s just a guess. Plus, there’s this video:

That is theoretical vs real. You can’t calculate the carbon footprint of an Elio that doesn’t have a specification package set and tested just like a car. The author doesn’t know the fuel mileage, emissions and emissions over 15 years (which is done in a test cell). So until Elio builds an...

Good to see that they told all of the employees to get to work when the $25M didn't materialize on October 15th. I just wonder what they were doing up until then? I don't know about you but when you have the Elio engineering staff going after funding, that's not a good sign. They (the...

Also, Elio has stated that of the first 65k reservations, the average price will be about $10,700.

The Mods here have a long time conversation with Elio. I could do it, but from my experience, it's the same canned response. So, I'd rather have the people with the inside line and many years of experience, give them the link because that goes to the top of Elio corporate as oppose to when I...

Another option, Jack Ma. He probably has toilet paper that costs as much as an Elio. Ali Baba would be a great way for the Elio export market too.
