In our area we are full of distribution warehouses. This is because in PA it's cheaper to have them here as opposed to NJ and there's I-78 that goes directly to Newark, NJ to the shipping docks. We have tons of truck traffic with containers. We also have a bunch of trucks that ship the garbage...

I want to see the spy footage of the Elio testing. It would stick out because of the shape and only one rear wheel.

This relates back to the Elio My Way. Elio is figuring on the first 65k to have an average price of $10,700 and that’s because of options. So having the listed options on top of what Elio has is not asking for much. If you want it, then get it. Since I have been using a reverse cam as OEM...

Only thing is, Ford and GM don't make a suitable Elio motor made in NAFTA. As for FCA, they do (technically, in the USA). I suspect the 90% NAFTA content might go down with this engine choice.

Why not have it in Bossier City? It's outside the Caddo Parish and really close to the plant. That gives people the option if they want to spend money in the Caddo parish or not, yet be close to the plant where they can see where their Elio will be born. FYI: When you get your Elio, you are...

I'm just getting a bit worried because it's 60 weeks to get the target 2019 targeted release date and it looks like Elio has lots of work to do (HR, supply chain, testing, engineering changes, plant outfit) to reach that milestone. It won't be long and we will be in the holiday season and as we...

That would be a great option. Think about it, I can;t think of anyone else that does that and Elio could be an innovator when it comes to new off the shelf technology that is a benefit for all cars with rear seats. There are many other super cheap options that Elio could do that they could...

I just sold a car that had a backup camera I installed 3 years ago. Cost me $40 online. Worked fine.

I noticed that the same exact article has been posted at least four times before. So I just figured that I’d keep posting it because it’s new news and any of that is worth repeating at least a dozen times.

Here's another article with Paul Elio: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-30/these-companies-think-the-next-big-thing-is-very-tiny-cars New Zeland is even interviewing Paul Elio: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=12154250

Since you are a GM engineer then you understand that they plant you were at in Shreveport was not the cream of the crop and they did have lots of things thrown at them. I was there a few times (maybe we even met) and it was not run the way most other manufacturers do things. Too many differences...

From what pics that Elio has shown, the trailing arm is of a banana design and cast aluminum. So, it would break in the middle of the curve and rotate around when hit from the rear. Only thing to remember is that the video that Elio has is pre-unibody as that's the tube frame being crash...

They did a movie about that:

Here's the safety testing Elio did with the non unibody Elio over three years ago.

I wish life was that easy. Tesla was not reinventing the wheel either with the Model 3. It's build like any sedan on the market today and actually simpler. It's that every expert in the business knew what was going to happen and it did. Going from building around 10K-20K units per year is easy...

I've sat in the back of an Elio twice. It's OK and I can see why there's no use for a rear view mirror because you'd be looking at the rear head rest or the passenger. Plus, it doesn't seem like if there was a rear window, you'd see much out the rear even with the rear seat folded down. Thus the...

Must be great to be so young. I remember when I could do really long drives in a car without stopping. 300 miles for me is tops today. I remember being beat when I decided years ago to take my TDI Jetta and run a total of 720 miles straight on a tank of diesel, never again. When I was real young...

Technically, we have no idea what the Elio gets in mileage. All we know is "up to 84 mpg". So, it could be between 1 and 84 mpg. Also, Elio has only done a simulation as to what the mileage would be (from the SEC filings). At this point we just have to go with the up to 84 mpg and wait. I know...

The mileage that it gives has nothing to do with how fast you get your Elio. So I really don't understand the question. What it should be is this: What level of quality and reliability are you willing to accept to get your Elio" Elio could have you a car next week that gives 84 mpg but it could...

No need for a year, just soon.
