So, what I am hearing here it that unless Elio finishes designing and building their own engine, some people are not going to happy or are not going to be interested in purchasing any longer? From what I gather either these 1.0 motors are made by foreign companies, or if made by America...

I think this was supposed to be sarcasm?

The release said they were fitting it in the prototype, but I hope they put it in an e-series too and we see this thing on a test track soon.

Which one do you need it to be?

This is unbelievable. I mean, it's good news, but still unbelievable. If this had been done originally, we might all be driving our Elios by now.

Just saw on Facebook an Elio announcement that the ElioCoin presale has started. Edit: BooBoo got me by a few seconds.

This is an odd response to what appears to be a factual statement. I have not been here long enough to know, but is that an original drawing created by the poster or not?

Maybe I missed it somewhere, but I have not seen when Elio was told beforehand that it would be required to have these licenses to simply lease a factory facility in Louisiana. I mean, this requirement just popped up one day two years down the road and made retroactive? What is even the cost of...

I kind of expected I might have to DIY my oil changes. I certainly won't be driving it into one of the typical express places with the standard oil changing pit. I don't see how it would work all that well with the usual car lift either.

No word on this? Did it actually take place?

I don't necessarily have a bunker (would if I had the resources though) but I certainly have a "go bag" with some first-aid gear in it, a couple of months of emergency rations in storage , a few weapons, and a healthy supply of ammo...just in case of financial meltdown, a solar flare taking down...

I'm having trouble discerning if you are an Elio supporter, or just a Byrne disliker.

This is what I am looking for so that I can feel confident of the seemingly impending start of production. When we see activity at the plant, and people being hired there, is when I start getting ready to buy my Elio.

I have no idea. I can’t see that they do offer any such service. At least I don’t see anything about it with a cursory look at the site. I guess times are changing, but I have never purchased a vehicle, even a brand new one, without driving it. I have walked away from a few after driving.

My point was, sir, if they direct sell through Overstock.com Cars, where is the opportunity for test drives? The snark and backbiting around here lately is getting a little old.

So no test drives or anything now?

There's an awful lot of Camrys, Altimas, and Accords sold every year for people to not care about sedans.

:pop2:

I got an answer.
