He started the King Ranch which expanded into aluminum pickup trucks.

I've had this conversation before with people that tell me how great old cars were. I remember a time when over 40K was considered high mileage. Getting 100K out of a car was a major accomplishment. Today, 100K is the norm. There was a time you had to go in and get a 1K mile inspection which...

Here's an interesting one. It's the production of the i3. When you watch it, you'll see that the chassis is aluminum and the body is made out of a variation of carbon fiber. It's an interesting video because it shows much more than I would ever expect from a manufacturer. Plus, you see how...

My mistake. I found a conversation back on November 29th and we were talking about facts under the "Somethings Gotta Give". What I found is that it will probably happen Spring 2018. That is not the same as "It's going to happen Spring 2018". Sorry. I did find this post though (the same date)...

I would not call Paul an excellent engineer for the field he decided to go into. He's an excellent dreamer and salesperson. Obviously, he can now add fundraiser to his credentials. The thing is, he has has his own engineering firm going constantly since the early 2000's. So maybe he should just...

Even though the NASDAQ listing is going through in the spring he needs to calm down the current stockholders and let them know that something big is going to happen soon but he can't tell you what it is and when. Maybe something like the long term testing of the engine or a video of Continental...

I do know for a fact that the silent treatment in relationships and business never works.

Something happened because at this point it'll be at $2 unless some good news comes out on Friday. Maybe the NASDAQ listing? Maybe approval of the ATVM loan? Maybe Berkshire Hathaway named as another clue chip supplier for Elio Motors?

I do a fair share of cycling but I have my concerns with those recumbent. The group I ride with there is a guy who has a cruzbike and two other recumbents. What I see is this. When he climbs, he's all over the road (which shows up on the cruzbike video). This was true with the other recumbents...

You could just add a question to weed out the people that don't belong. Something like this: "Did you buy an Eddie Bauer Ford Explorer because it made you feel like a real adventurer?"

I assume that Elio is keeping everything at the Elio Engineering facilities and probably just running that business while the Motors side gets back up and running. I do know this is an excellent time for smaller automotive engineering companies to be in business because everyone of them I know...

Another issue is that whenever there are federal, state, local grants or cheap loans, it brings everyone out of the woodwork. A few actually do well, a few fail and a bunch try. I see this all over the country. There will be a new technology park that will have all of these incentives, tax...

That is a concern. Elio will have to futureproof their design because it's a matter of time that someone will get killed in a trike and one rule change can kill the trike industry. In addition to that, I seriously doubt that the insurance industry is going to allow something like an Elio to get...

Fisker was a great example of a company that went to forced production. That's when you need to meet a timeline for production and the product is not ready. You end up building it when the design is not done. If you ever seen one up close, the quality is horrible. This had nothing to do with the...

A year ago I helped a friend put in a 220V charger in his garage. What made it really easy was that the panel box was in the garage and there was no drywall on that wall (running the wires was really easy). His house has a 300A service because originally it was all electric. He had a new HVAC...

The OTC site is pretty interesting. I never knew they had a skull and crossbones symbol but I guess it get's the point across. http://www.otcmarkets.com/learn/caveat-emptor

Having big money experience means you run out of money quickly because those people require big money for their experience. They don't care if you run out, as long as they get paid before you do. It's up to Paul to keep feeding the machine.

I looked on the OTC site and they will be listing as to why companies got downgraded. https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/OTCM/news/OTC-Markets-Group-Provides-Monthly-Lists-of-Compliance-Downgrades-and-Caveat-Emptor-Designations?id=174133&b=y

Elio is just like the EV market. They greenwash their product. Neither one are going to save the planet but is sounds good to say because it sells product. On the other hand. Everyone is super excited right now because over the last 10 years we have watched EV's starting to become mainstream...

I don't know enough about it but just figured that a change is a move into the direction of going full NASDAQ in the spring.
