Elio applied for 2 ATVM loans. The first one was for $260M back on December 18, 2009.
Here's the list from 2013:https://www.scribd.com/doc/145484203/HQ-2013-00911-F-George-List-of-Loans
When Elio was looking at making the car in Pontiac, MI, he said this at a meeting on February, 10, 2010...
Elio utilized social media to spread the word and raise funds. That’s the good side of social media. When you stop the updates through that method people will start to wonder what is going on and start the doubting. That is the bad. Telling people to sign up for email updates is counter to using...
I still wonder what happened to Elio #1 ATVM loan. This is where Hari is the expert because he lived through an ATVM loan rejection, a withdrawal and getting paid $80K to keep the loan going in 2016.
I could post so many videos of Cheech and Chong. So to not insult anyone, just search them on youtube and enjoy. Thanks Booboo for reminding me of some lost laughs.
This has been covered before but please read this. It will explain that everything Elio did was perfectly legal and you can complain all you want but it doesn't change the fact that Elio is in the right when it comes to this...
If you go to the Elio Website under Investor Relations, here's Hari's resume:
Also, if you wonder what happened at Envia systems (where he worked before Elio Motors), read this:

You are in luck. The Chinese took over that Fiat and made it into this:

There were a few. Interestingly enough, this company had Hari as a full-time consultant from ESG Engineering from October 2006 to September 2009. They had green venture capitalists Kleiner Perkins, former Texas oil magnate T. Boone Pickens and former Oracle Corp. executive Frank Varasano. Plus...
That's good advice. Also I'd consider just getting your money back and go with another roofer. If they are that stretched for money they will not do a good job and it can come back to haunt you at the most inopportune time (during a storm). You want to make sure you have some sort of service if...
The roofing guy I used sent me a fruit basket for Christmas (which even came with a deck of cards) and then before the superbowl, he dropped off two free Eagles t-shirts that coincidentally had his business name on them too. My wife and I wore them to a superbowl party. The roof cost about as...
I have a question for Mr. Iyer. I see you were at Next Autoworks as a full time consultant from ESG Engineering then became their VP of Engineering for NA. They applied for an ATVM loan a few months after Elio Motors did in 2009. EM was for $250M and NA was for $321M. NA was rejected and nothing...
Enterprise is pretty big into renting cars with a bunch of little offices around the place. My wifes company car got rear ended. So the body shop picked it up and Enterprise showed up an hour later with a replacement while the other one gets fixed. My in laws rent from Enterprise when they take...

When it comes to a CPO car, you are better to stick with one from a manufacturer (i.e. Ford, GM, etc...) and not something from Crazy Larry's Used Cars. Most are cars that came off lease because when you go to a place like Manheim, they have special lines just for New car dealers looking to get...
