Just remember, if the same person keeps sending a letter about the same subject over and over, it will end up being marked as spam. The key is to have a variety of people sending letters about the same subject. Then it doesn't look like the same 10-50 people in the US are just bugging you about...

From the way it looks like on the Elio site, if someone today does a $1K all in reservation, they get ahead of a $500, $250, $100 all in, that did it back in 2013. It's around 22,200 people that have a 1K all in (according to the Elio website). I would assume that the only way the early adopters...

My brother has been deaf since birth and was able to drive without any problem whatsoever for 40 years. Honestly, he's a better driver than most. Deaf people have a heightened awareness of the other senses. I even found this out with the other that he knew that were deaf. The problem with the...

When guesses are funded, they tend to swing in the direction of the company funding it. I doubt that someone would give a company a bad review if their paycheck depended on that company. As for analysis, it's up to you. What you need to do is spend some time and research. It's not something you...

Elio runs into the problem that every startup runs into. They have to pay for all engineering and tooling up front. This is like with software. That industry learned the hard way that you can promise that you will sell X amounts of units and it'll be the next big thing but normally it just...

Matching paint color to plastic mold color is difficult. Companies have pretty much got to the point where they can paint plastic at the same time as the metal. You have to remember, we've been using plastic bumper covers that are painted for 30+ years and the technology as of today is better...

The fine print from Zacks SCR: "Zacks SCR has received compensation for non-investment banking services on the Small-Cap Universe, and expects to receive additional compensation for non-investment banking services on the Small-Cap Universe, paid by issuers of securities covered by Zacks SCR...

The tablet in the Elio has been a great idea. This is something that you only really see on higher end cars. The Infinite Skyz app is just a great thing to have due to the flexibility it can have for the future. Just watching the Infinite Skyz video shows what you'll be able to do. Just make...

Painted mirrors do chip. So, if they offered ones in chrome as standard, that would be better because you can keep it looking fresh. I just hope they make them fold back because people come by and grab your mirror for no reason and break it off. The body width is something to consider because I...

How about 50 at $12K each? In any business, you don't make a product and expect it to produce a profit when you are just using it for promotion. If you can accomplish that, then you hit the best business plan ever invented. Think about it. Get a profit for advertising and making the product. Who...

From 1:42 to around 4:08, that was the Lime Rock paddock but it was from a video game, not real life video.

You are missing the point. The numbers were thrown out there as an example, not as fact. If you want it to make it look better than reduce the number of cars by half and double the production cost of them. Then pick the top 5 regions of the US where you have the most reservations. That way you...

I have not heard of any active resistance by an existing car maker. Do you have a link?

Build these before the 100 fleet customers. If the cost to build an Elio is $6K and you give away 100 of them, it just comes down to a $600K marketing cost that will be spread out over 12 months. That's a cheap marketing investment of $50K per month and it does the job. I'd think there has to be...

How about this. The powers here present Elio with this marketing plan. Have a contest where current Elio All-Ins on this site will submit a two page presentation on how they could promote Elio. This would be because Elio would build 100 pre production cars and have them ready in March. They...

I have to wait for Elio's response.

If Elio goes with that $20 K&N crankcase vent, you can pretty much guarantee there will be thousands of complaints. Everything from the engine compartment becoming a oily/dirty mess and the smell of hot oil while driving down the road. I suspect that Elio will vent it in the intake downstream of...

Any thoughts on the inline coolant thermostat that Elio is using?

That's when I first seen the Elio. I wish they capitalized on more events like that. For Elio to generate some more interest, they should do like other companies do. Go to an event like Daytona Bike Week. Rent out the parking lot where the old Dog Track used to be. Work with a charity where you...

It's actually quite simple. Borla devotes the bulk of their business to cat back exhaust systems, accessories and OEM supplier. As for going from the engine to the cat they will do certain products but the problem comes with emissions and getting 50 state legal. Looking at the overall business...
