Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently. - Henry Ford

...help vegetable crops to grow more rapidly. Fossil fuels release millions of years of carbon, we need to get to a one yr. to one ratio yr Henry Ford saw ethanol as the future fuel, and Rudolf Diesel’s first engine ran on peanut oil at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900. Even then petrol...

In 1925, Henry Ford told a New York Times reporter that ethyl alcohol was “the fuel of the future” , he was expressing an opinion that was widely shared in the automotive industry. “The fuel of the future is going to come from fruit like that sumach out by the road, or from apples, weeds...

We do have to keep in mind that the Elio Motors goal was never maximum fuel economy but instead as great fuel economy as possible while also keeping the cost as low as possible. There are many well proven technologies out there which could make this car more fuel efficient but they would likely...

...so long as they fit the (4) pilar model: Cost,content,safety,economy. Sure compromises will be made, that's where options come in. Henry Ford said: "You can have any color you want so long as it's black." I think ELio has cone a long way.............. :) We do have to keep in mind that the...

...Elio will maximise existing capabilities so long as they fit the (4) pillar model: Cost,content,safety,economy. Sure compromises will be made, that's where options come in. Henry Ford said: "You can have any color you want so long as it's black." I think Elio has come a long way.............. :)

Welcome, and be careful because you will find the Elio as addicting as this forum. Here you will find the latest information, facts, rumors, and opinions of the future Elio owners. It will also provide hours of entertainment to help pass the time until the Elio production begins. Welcome and...

I guess I should welcome you first before I demand pictures, right? LOL So hello and welcome form Oregon. Now, will you please take pictures? As you can tell, I'm one of the greedy ones on here who has not seen the Elio up close and personal so want to know all from everyone else who gets...

...beautiful concept of Paul's. It's been too long in comming to the public and the big 3 can start wetting themselves as they watch the new Henry Ford of our generation show the industry how to give the people a vehicle of value at a reasonable price that smiles at the gas pumps while driving by!

There have been a few, "two steps fwd one step back" since inception, but they haven't quit yet. To me that says a lot. Starting any business is no cake walk, as I'm sure many of us know, so we will see. I'm personally curious about the July tests of the production (IAV) motor & the 5 Star crash...

The wheel fairings ("wheel pants" to those involved with vintage aircraft) almost completely cover the wheels. Now I know Henry Ford offered "any color so long as it's black" (why? because black paint dried faster and didn't hold up his assembly line). Maybe Elio can justify black wheels, a...

...they have been around since 2008, that's a long time and have very little to show for it People want to compare Elio to the Model T (and Henry Ford). How many deposits did Henry take from potential buyers? People talk about the economics, the need for such a vehicle at this price point, the...

Agree! Except for status symbol, but rather Green, quality, and performance reasons....maybe a few status. My first car was a '59 VW during the Beetlemania Era............I feel Eliomania coming on with a strong roll out in 2015. VW's rollout sold 2 units at the first USA Dealership 65 years...

Though I would never buy one, I sure wish I could afford one.

...not at the price they want. At this point I think it is purchased more for its status symbol than an environmentally friendly fuel efficient vehicle. Elio will be affordable for many more people like the volkswagan was for the German people or Henry Ford's model-T when they were first...

Right you moved on after a couple of more shots, fine. No big deal. Consider this, if Henry Ford did not fight and win(overturn) the patent of the automobile. What good is an assemblyline? You have cars and cannot sell them. You don't think there would have been an injunction? Or would Mr...

LOL @ DBN477, Sorry, I've moved on. When you wrestle with a pig you both get dirty and the pig likes it. I'll stay clean, enjoy thinking about my Elio, and not be poisened by coming back and rehashing ideology that isn't important to the main reason we're all here; to support the Elio, and...

Designing and building an engine is expensive but so is buying 100,000-250,000 engines each year from someone else who is also making a profit from selling you those engines. At that scale it likely makes sense to produce your own engine because Elio would get the exact engine they need and at...

...they used one already in production. Elio could use their negotiating skills to get a good price on the engine..............I never said Henry Ford "only" argued the patent of the automobile. Your making things up...........you ask why this hasn't been done (utilizing already produced parts)...

I'm curious about one thing. On the EM website there is a 5th board member, David C. Schembri. I'm wondering why he is not on this list. Anyone hear anything?
