One of the changes that Elio could do would use the LED headlights that are on the E1C instead of the regular old halogen ones they say they are going to use. If not that, at least put in a bright LED dome light. I don't know about you but the older I get, the brighter I'd like it in my car at...

Let's put this in perspective. Imagine if Elio stopped all public appearances in the middle of May. At that time, he just told us that he was committed to building the 3 and then got upset with the local press. Then today, there wasn't a single 3 produced and still no signs of life with Elon...

As in my other post, I just wonder how many of the 65K are even still interested. Just because someone put down $100 and got a $50 bonus doesn't mean that they are going to actually buy it in 2019. If you look at the numbers, even Elio did not fair too well with the commit to buy, so that right...

It would be nice to have a poll without any comments. Then all it does is become yet another discussion about the same thing and thus the real reason behind the voting becomes lost in the noise. Plus you only would want the current reservation holders to vote. This site only has around 4K...

Here's an idea. Maybe Elio should send out a questionnaire to the current reservation holders. They could ask, would you be willing to pre buy your Elio today? This would be where you option out your Elio and then with whatever discounts and money you already put down, gets subtracted from the...

I used to have a Citroen C2V. It weighed 1300lbs, had a whopping 29hp but 125mm width tires on it. Honestly, the best 2wd car without snows on it I have ever driven. The Elio is to weigh about the same, have an upgraded 55hp and 135 front tires. So, it would literally have to get high centered...

It was for $500K. The guy already already raised $350K through kickstarter and has $60K in pre orders. Plus, the guy who sold it will be employed for two years which gives him a big salary and $5 royalty per unit. If you notice a these with these angel investors in shark tank there's a theme...

Remember, the one guy that everyone hates here is Elon Musk. The reason why they do is because they wish Paul Elio was just like him. This is because no matter how bad things are going, Elon is still out there as the front man and selling his idea. Even if the company is losing money, you got...

It's like going back to see family you haven't seen for ten years. The family that lives there really doesn't notice that your uncle has got a really lame comb over and your aunt is 80% grey. It sure comes as a shock for you though. Their house that seemed OK now looks really dated. Plus that...

Past history is something you can't ignore. I'm talking about within the last 22 months. It's not that long ago. Investors are not just going to look at today. They will want to know the past history. It's no different than getting a loan. If you are late on payments constantly over the last 2...

Is it petty? Let's analyze that. Elio has over 65K reservationists. They invested into his company. Then Elio needs at least another 1M in new customers to keep them going for 4 years. In 2016, having a road show, social media updates and Paul being out there in person raised $26M in 12 months...

This is where Paul has demonstrated his inability to properly manage and look long term. In 2016 he burned through a boatload of money and pretty much ran the company out of cash. If you look at the SEC filings, Elio was bringing in a pretty good amount of money through reservations. Obviously...

Does it have a backup camera? Those are great if you have back problems or limited mobility. It's a bit hard to get used to it because you want to turn around but after a while, you get used to it.

You never know, the Elio toaster might be under your Christmas tree this year:

According to the 4 must haves, #3 has this: "Elio is American-made targeting utilization of 90% North American content" That's been there for a long time and it has the infamous Elio word "targeting". The blog says this: "Nearly 90 percent of the parts that comprise our cars will be produced...

You can thank VW for the EPA changing their tests for everyone. Now it's pretty much impossible to do it. In the end, VW got punished here in the US more than companies that lied about ignition switches and another one about airbags and another one about their cheating diesels. If VW would have...

My old VW had two three sun visors. The third one was a mini one right above the rear view mirror. Was nice to have and I left it down most of the time. Elio needs two. That way you could rotate either one over the side windows for that sun which comes in the left or right side.

You 2017 Dodge does have driver aids. It has ABS, TC and stability. If you are looking for even something cheaper, drives more like a regular car then get a VW Jetta. VW is one of the last few companies that offer a manual transmission. The only nanny they have (except for the mandatory ABS, TC...

From what I have read, Sondors is going to have them built in China. That makes sense since China is way ahead of the rest of the planet when it comes to affordable electric cars and cycles. Then it works out for Sondors because they can sell them in China and not have the 28% tariff to deal...

In my area we are a big hub for distribution warehouses. It's because we have less taxes and cheaper real estate as opposed to NJ. So, building them on the border along with easy access to the NE corridor, they build them here. What i see are tons of trucks going back and forth to Newark, NJ to...
