I seen a green one in Switzerland a few years ago. It's a plastic chassis and made pretty crappy. It's more like a play toy as opposed to something you'd use every day. I could see using it in some closed retirement community where you never go more than 25 mph. Even the Europeans laughed at it...
I hope everyone realizes that there are lots of other products out there that rely on oil, it's not just for gas production. Things like plastic, rubber, various chemicals and lubrication. These are not going away and if we burn through a bunch of oil, the price goes up, so does everything else...
Two months ago I picked up a 2015 BMW i3 with REX at an insurance auction for $5K. It was rear ended but the rest was in great shape with only 26K on the clock. What is neat about them is that all of the body panels are bolted on and are made of some carbon fiber material (i.e. the LR quarter...
Isn't a Slingshot RWD? They've been around for a while and I suspect there's got to be some sort of data out there by now because someone has had to driven one in snow. Polaris is in MN and it snows there plenty.
It'll be interesting to see what the total cost of the Sondors will be, because the least expensive electric vehicle is more than 3X the cost of an Elio. If Sondors can get it below $22K, that will breaking new ground for EV's.
VOIP is your enemy. What companies do is lease a bank of numbers in geographical areas. Then use a calling center from India that uses VOIP and through that number. So, if you have an area code of 123, then they have ten numbers in area code 123 which will be the ones calling you. Thus you think...
I’d love to sit in the back of an Elio. If Elio would make the back of the front seat like on an airplane, I’d be set. Thermos with coffee and my iPad streaming movies. A pillow to rest my head on either side.
On Tuesday, Automotive News Europe reported that "Tesla's Model S outsold the luxury flagships of Mercedes-Benz (OTCPK:DDAIF), BMW (OTCPK:BMWYY) and Audi (OTCPK:AUDVF) in Europe for the first time."
Also on Tuesday, both Model S and Model X delivery estimates for new orders were pushed out to...
What else has happened is that the suppliers have set up shop in Alabama too. That news nobody hears about because it's not a name anyone knows.
Check out the HMA (Honda Manufacturing Alabama) full blown race minivan they have. It's cool that the manufacturer let's them do this.
Then there's...
One of my customers has an employee that bought a used BMW i3 REX (the one with the BMW motorcycle engine in it). He drives to work, then plugs it in a 110V outlet on the corner of the building. After an 8 hour work day, it's back to fully charged. Then he goes home. The engine never started up...
I still don't see Louisiana has a leg to stand on. If they did, then Tesla would have been fined millions by now. You can't just fine one company and then let another get away scot free. Elio will win this without a problem what would be nice is to see people in Louisiana get behind Elio because...
With my kids it was this. One got my old car and the other got a used one I bought him. In the end, with the split, it was $2500 for each. The deal was, they had to be honors and in advanced/AP courses before this was to happen. Then both had to pay for insurance, gas and maintenance (which for...
