These are OTC stocks. It's just hobby day traders making a few bucks here and there. So, it'll go up and then go back down. What you have to do is see what it is over a long term. It'll go up and down all day long but in the end it seems to finish close to where it started. By looking at the...

For the $100 all in, this is what Elio tells me: "Make your reservation now at $100 and you will be behind the $1,000 “All In” level (approximately 21,200 reservation holders), the $500 and $250 “All In” levels and the other reservation holders before you at this level. You can get your Elio...

"The thing is, there are too many web sites, and not enough news. Everyone want their own web site, but none of them have the budget to hire people to actually, you know, do research, fact checking, and analyzing of the stuff they report. So it's all just a big circle jerk of everyone reposting...

If approximately 21,400 people are absolutely going to buy the car and the rest might buy it, how many of the 65K will then definitely buy the car? That's a tough question to answer because you don't know what has happened to people. They might have died, financial situation changed, preferences...

I went in this morning looking to reserve a car and what I found was this. If I do a $100-$1000 non-refundable, it tells me (right on the Elio site) "Make your reservation now and you'll receive the next spot available in the production line, which is approximately 21,200. Your official number...

I don't think there's been a car built on the planet that has used SAE nuts and bolts for about 20 years. Only thing on a car that is not metric is the wheel diameter and wheel width. Other than that, it's a simple change of the readout of the dash of you want metric of not. As for IAV coming...

Elio has a Fleet website and it lists three companies. https://www.eliomotors.com/fleet/ SOS Alarm: "We are very excited about entering into an agreement with Elio Motors for our next fleet of vehicles." Treasure Coast Car Wash: "We wanted the opportunity to support American jobs by purchasing a...

A few things. Industrial or marine engines are normally diesel or CNG. Gasoline is the exception to the rule. I don't see a big market for gasoline industrial engines. They do make them but are only used in very few applications. It sounds like to me that Linamar has the license to private label...

A good Eliopportunity. Get a few Hypermilers here on this board. Give them an Elio and have them demonstrate the mileage along Route 66. Start from Long Beach and end in Chicago during the Chicago Auto Show. Have them showing up at the end of the route with them getting out of the car and a big...

I would agree when it comes to economics. There are many cars out there with timing chain failures due to companies trying to save a penny on a design. Then they offer an update kit with better components down the road which costs you, the consumer, plenty of money. It would be better to have a...

I was thinking of a few other things that Elio could do for 2017. I know they have a contractor for an App for their cars (Infinite Skyz). I think there are a few things they could integrate into it. 1. Elio Share - In many big cities in the US we have a bike sharing system. In Europe, they have...

As for for the engine. All you have to do is look outside the US and you'll find other manufacturers of small 3 cylinder engines. For example. A VW UP! has a 1.0l 3 cylinder that has everything from a NA 60hp unit all the way up to a 118hp turbo DI unit. The 60 hp unit has a combined Euro cycle...

Thanks for the info. Good thing is that I've worked with that company many times before and on a current project. I'll just contract them directly to find out what is going on.

I assume you mean, Comau. The company based out of Italy (owned by Fiat). They pretty much do stamping, welding, robotics and parts flow. Really good company but they don't have the capability to set up the whole plant, they are just part of the puzzle. I would assume that Elio has been sending...

Do they break down the reservations as to the level at which people reserved their cars?

Six months from when the car is ready to production. That's doable but it will come at a premium to do so. Plus, it's not just retooling the line but making it for the size of the car. That takes a pretty good amount of removing existing equipment and moving it. From what I read, they have a...

One thing that does worry me is this. I haven't really heard anything other than they have an old GM truck plant when it comes to the manufacturing of this car. This was a truck manufacturing plant, the equipment was set up and sized to do trucks, not Elios. That will require a pretty good...

Having worked with automotive manufacturers and suppliers, they are very secretive when it comes to their R&D. So, the reason why you are not in the loop is because these suppliers (i.e. Roush, Continental, Bosch, etc...) don't want anything published until the whole project is done. I can see...

That's good. With Hyundai ramping up seat production, that means Elio will be way ahead of them. I deal in automotive suppliers and the manufacturer is at least 3-4 months ahead of the suppliers for items like seats. It just comes down to that seats are pretty much the same and production can be...

I'm new here, but I was in Shreveport two days ago. A customer of mine there was telling me that the Elio plant was hiring 150 people and something was starting up right away. I was in the middle of a few things and never checked into it. I was wondering of Elio was starting production soon...
