I'm afraid that Elio could do what Fisker did. Get under so much pressure that it was forced to production before the car was done. As for Elio, I doubt that they are even close to getting all of the engineering done. Even their latest black car looks like it has many components that were hand...
The problem with Europe is that they are way ahead of us when it comes to small efficient cars and using alternative sources of energy in cars. Elio would have lots of competition. In large cities, they have car sharing where you use a car for as long as you need. It's electric and you just pick...
The thing is, how many of the 65K reservation holders would be willing to accept a surcharge because the price of raw materials went up. I could see when Elio 65,001 rolls off the assembly line but not for 65,000. It is a binding contract and you have no recourse if they never build a car but...
Here's the way I see it with Trump. He's not going to put up with someone that can't meet milestones. As we all know, Paul is the poster child for that. With that being said, Trump will look at it as a business and not through emotion. I believe Elio will get the loan but the provisions are...
I hear the same thing. The price of steel, aluminum, resin (for plastics) are all going up. Those are the three main components in a car. Many large companies (automotive and appliance) are buying up these products in large quantities and it's just driving up the price. Many believe that when we...
It would be better for everyone to go out and buy the magazine for this month as opposed to posting the article for all to see for free. Then email them to thank them for doing an article on it. This way, the magazine sees a major uptick on sales for a single month and can attribute it to the...
This is just another step closer to getting this thing going. Trump is pro American business. When it's American made product, that's even better. Trump has already stated that he want's new manufacturing here in America, not just keeping existing jobs. So with Elio doing exactly what Trump is...
If you are sending them letters in the mail, it might not be getting there because the "0" fell off the building for the next store neighbors:

If I'm going to park the car for a week, I unplug it because I would think it would produce some sort of drain on the battery.
As for OBD-II compliance, pretty much other things like motorcycles are going that way because the whole system has been around since 1996 and OBD-I even longer. Using...
You have to look at it as you can't make it 100% foolproof if you are wanting any sort of efficiency out of it. If we didn't care about efficiency, we'd just make cast iron 2 valve low compression engines that don't rev very high. Since we do want efficiency, we have to accept there will be some...
Just have the valve default to close. In manufacturing we always default to safety to keep machines from destroying themselves because most of what we run is with compressed air that is told what to do with electric solenoids. The rate at which we have a catastrophe is really small on machines...
I just keep the ELM always plugged in (I have one in each car since they are so cheap) and then use an app on my phone to read info and if a check engine light comes on, the codes comes up and I can click on it and see what it is. From there, an internet search can get you most of the info you...
I don't see any engine today that it non interference. We're running compression ratios too high because we can control pre ignition with a knock sensor.
I would think he would have. On the news today they did have a video where they were interviewing some small business owners at the white house after meeting with Trump. It was on the Fox Business Network. I don't know if Paul Elio was there. It would have been a great opportunity for him if he...
I think you'll see camless engines hit the mainstream for diesels first. It's just the RPM range they have to operate in is more limited as opposed to a gasoline. At this point, the main issue with most ICE's has been efficiency. The efficiency numbers get better but by baby steps. Direct...
Any new news or milestones reached today for Elio to make this stock go up? Trump made an announcement to meet with small businesses about reducing regulations to help them out. Elio is a small business since the employ currently under 500 people. So, this would be a great opportunity and can...
What makes you think that I haven't emailed them some ideas.
You guys need to not get off of topic as I was giving generic examples. You have to look at it as potential investors since it became a publicly traded company. We can get into all of the details of the EPA and NHTSA testing but...
