Am I reading this recent google news alert correctly http://masterherald.com/elio-motors-paul-elio-gets-excellent-investor-prospects-for-the-independent-carmaker-at-gateway-conference/45552/ ? It states that the ATVM loan has been secured. That can't be right, can it?
Article posted today seems to be living in the past. Many facts old and not checked.

We all know the Elio has potential to be a three wheel masterpiece after the engineering specs are finalized, E's built and tested, tweaked, and reveal of the production Elio.
What I didn't know was that Elio Motors was an independent electric car maker.
I prefer to read actual test driver...
Article rehashing ATVM, and 2016 Gateway Conference.
The new part is the last paragraph calling Elio a three-wheeled masterpiece.

"Elio Motors Seeks $25 Million Public Investments to Produce 25 More Prototypes of Groundbreaking Three-Wheeled Vehicle"

Thanks. I posted a reply:
Yes, the amounts being bandied about are only expressions of interest. But with a lot of the troll-work thrown in the slime pit where it belongs, Elio does stand at over $28 million in “interest.” From the SEC’s point of view, this makes a powerful demonstration that...
A semi snarky, semi supportive article on the A+ offering from Master Herald:

Although I'm not wild about Master Herald, this is one of the better pieces I've seen them put out.

Another very poorly done story by this outlet.
It's very confusing and misleading.
PE may have pulled his PR act together, but it's a shame that he can't control how he's represented in some of the media.
Elio Motors Finally Gets Funding to Mass Produce Three-Wheeled Car in 2016!

Master Herald is notorious for reporting bad information, but I like the sounds of the headline. Hope to hear something from another source to confirm this.

Hey Grumpy, I think we should wipe the Master Herald off of sites we look to for Elio news. Every article they've published has been a rehash of other articles, usually with added factual errors. This time they got the availability of manual and automatic transmissions wrong. I'm convinced...
Can't argue that the writer finally got around to saying "two person seating" is a "feature" at the end of the fourth paragraph after calling it a "one person car" twice in the first paragraph. Does that make a Prius a one person car with five person seating? (sort of?) :rolleyes::confused:
...I liked was ............"but according to reports, the previous models were about 55 horsepower"..........

What previous models. They were muels.

Flattering yes, but also in error.
Another person who thinks it's a single seater rather than a tandem.
And also thinks that the automatic transmission will be the only transmission.
But he did get part of it right.
Here is a flattering article from our old buddy at Master Herald
