Looks to me like it's a dash-tablet. Tablet architecture built into a dashboard. Should be able to change the screen to sisplay any kind of instrumentation you want to. We've kicked that same idea around on this forum a while back. Good to see it going into practice, but for $2000. The...

An interesting thought but not entirely grounded in reality. While we love to see the 'American' natives in a romanticized light these days, which is certainly better than how they have been viewed in some past times, it's never an entire picture of a culture. I mean no disrespect to our...

How about just THINK! The rest should come as a natural consequence of reasoned thought.

Sorry if it seemed I was undermining Folks's position, I meant to imply no such at all. To the contrary, he has a position on issues and has candidates he believes will support his principles, and that is what the whole thing is all about, so ROCK ON Folks! I was only referring to the...

TheConstitution recognizes that an INFORMED electorate is essential to liberty. Voting in ignorance is CONTRARY to the greater good, and opens opportunities for coruption and greed to undermine our intended system of governance; one that is held accountable to WE-the -people. It is our civic...

I think EV's have a deffinite role to play in the future, but I think they'll be only one technology used. As far as the whole infrastructure/where to charge them and from what, I think it's all pretty academic really. There are a million ways to generate electricity, and the only questions...

compressors are not very efficient so far. but if huge power generating stations are vastly more efficient than point-of-use power generation, then maybe the same for compressing air? And at those large compressor stations the heat energy from running motors and squeezing air could be possibly...

In southern Texas we'd GLADLY hitch-hike in exchange for a cloudy day. Texas rain prayer: Dear Lord, I was hoping you might see your way to send us some rain. Not for myself so much, I've seen it before, but ya see, my son is seven years old now, and he's starting to think I'm lyin'

I dunno 'bout ALL of that. I had one and though it got Great mileage there were some problems, beginning with the way it burned through glow-plugs like they were cheap, which they weren't, and it took a miracle to get it to start in the cold. My favorite part was the way it would build up oil...

Tilting in the curves transfers lateral g-force to vertical g-force so you 'feel' MORE upright in hard curves. As a Mother Earther you might remember these...... I think it would be AWESOME if the Elio could do this!

ABSOLUTELY! I saw one guy who had an electric scooter with saddle bags that contained a solar array he opened up to charge his scooter while he was at work. Brilliant!

Oops. ...have been accustomed to seeing. In short, I don't think the future of transportation is going to turn out to be just ONE concept. The ICE powered by abundant petrolium has been the obvious choice for a long time now, but there will come a day when the ever increasing price of crude oil...

I'm with you on a lot of points, but there are a LOT of unsettled debates on some things that I'm not sure we can get enough unbiased information to ever get to the real facts. Lithium for one is an unsettled issue becuase despite the fact that it's everywhere and means to get and refine it...

Taxes?!?! Why should taxes be spent subsidizing a product they charge money for? If there needs to be investment in the power grid then the companies that are charging money for electricity can pay for it! That's like using taxes to fix a toll road! If the price of electricity goes up, then...

I don't mean to come off argumentative at all, and I see we are just operating from different schools of thought, but I just wanted to offer a different perspective on a couple points. First, we live in an age where the mechanical knowlege of generations is available to anyone via internet, and...

I'm not trying to be deliberately obtuse here, (well, maybe a little), but I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say. What's the 'moral' of the story as it were? Is it that the Harley was a big waste of money 'cause it turned out not to be the bike he needed? Obviously he really needed...

I get where you're coming from, but my thought process was this; While everyone is dis'in on the little Indian car 'cause it's a death-trap, the only option we HAVE that meets it's specs for price and mpg is on two wheels. Is it a safety nightmare? Sure! Is it safer than a motorcycle...

Safety?!? Is there anything you guys DON'T expect from a cheap vehicle that gets supe-high mpg? Be a little real, you're gonna have to give up something somewhere. I think the Elio is trying to strike a better balance than most other options. But let's face it, if I wanted to drive something...

Places for repair only matter if you take stuff somewhere to be repaired. For me, that place is my garage. My mechanic is ME. Why is it so difficult for so many people to fathom that for lots of us out there it's not a choice. There is no weighing the pros and cons of the various options...

I wasn't really comparing ANYTHING. I think they are BOTH overpriced, just one more so than the other. And yes, the Honda Accord is overpriced too. The Rolls ridiculously so. But the comment was in response to the implication that only the tragicly uninformed would buy a Chinese scooter. I...
