If it's cheaper or only slight difference in production cost, then what the heck, why not. It will make more people buy it, which is good for the future of hyper-efficient transportation. The big auto producers have told us for years that they can't produce a basic car anymore 'cause no one...

my current vehicle is a ranger pickup. The only thing that is push-button on this truck is the starter. I don't miss a single power option and I would not give you a buck for all the little motorized gizmos out there.

I honestly had no idea how many people are so intimidated by entrance ramps. I've driven a lot of different vehicles, most of which were not rocket-sleds. Somehow I've survived 27 years of driving entrance ramps and I would not hesitate to take my severely under-powered pickup truck anywhere I...

Vinyl semi-adhesive sheet that pretty much covers the whole vehicle from bumper to bumper and heat-shrinks to fit like paint. They can be printed with commercial printing equipment to look like ANY thing you can imagine. Oh, what fun!

I still don't get it. What is the use of power locks for a vehicle with 1 door? Too freaking lazy to flip a tab instead of push a button? Can that really be it? Why then power locks if it's not part of a remote entry system.

I'm all for keeping all the crap optional, but I'm baffled by the concept of a power lock on this thing that does not come with a remote standard. I don't need a remote for my car any more than I do for my house. I am capable of putting a key in a lock and turning it. I haven't even been...

It would get in the way of all the cool custom mods I had in mind for that space. I don't think I've heard anyone objecting to having the vehicle outfitted the way it was originally spec'd out. It's the constant call for changes that some of us object to, (some more stridently than others). I...

Mods, wraps, baubles, etc. are all we have to talk about here for lack of anything substantive coming from Elio. Ii think most of us are with you, Just get it built!

I appreciate how you feel with regard to having more safety signals on your vehicle, and I encourage you to put all the lights and horns and bells, whistles, xylophones, or whatever you want on yours. I'll even try to help with technical issues, but I'm OK with mine NOT having all that, unless...

Ok, for three reasons let's NOT suggest any more lights be addaed to the vehicle. 1 no more delays, just build it. figure out the details for production and get it rolling. 2 low parts count means lower cost. Let's get it at the target price. YOU may be willing to spend a little extra for...

can I get mine in primer? I'll take it from there.

Oh common, I love my soapbox! I'm thinking of adding bucket seats, racing slicks and a blown 454 with posi-trac. I'll be able to go from humble to fully opinionated in 3.4 seconds or less. I'm just havin fun with the trucker math, but I guess it comes down to if you feel we should pay road...

Yes guys, I did say FREE registration, and I stand by it! Also no insurance increase on econo vehicles IS totally fair. Let me elaborate to the court; Imagine if you had your trusty dusty work truck which was also your primary vehicle. It's big, it's heavy, and it gets crappy mpg. You've...

Econos not paying their share huh? A big SUV at 16 mpg vs a tractor-trailer at 8 mpg that weighs 10 times as much... Seems to me the trucker is paying ONLY double the fuel tax and moving 10 times the mass down the road right? And when it comes to the real lightweight cars there comes a point...

Here in Michigan, and every other state I've lived in, the liability only on my primary car is about $75. my second car for liability only is about $75. If I add a third car, which I did once, briefly, the liability only on it is about $75. That's $225 a month, liability only with 3 cars in...

Just having some fun :-) I love small town life, but there are pros and cons to everything. I've lived in some fairly cool cities, like Berlin and San Antonio. Lived in some real crap holes too. Won't mention any names. I just find it hilarious what our pop-culture deems a 'small' town...

I know there are a number of people out there who are willing to sacrifice cost, and sacrifice mpg, and sacrifice small animals, or whatever else it takes to get more power. And once you've got it the only other thing you'll need to be happy is more power. Add on some more power and we've...

A mere village of only 100,000 people. Practically a ghost town. I love to get a feel for different people's idea of what 'small town' is. According to Hollywierd anything under a million is pretty much uninhabited territory. My home TOWNSHIP is 2000 or so, and no we don't have a Pep Boys...

yep, that's what is great about starting with a simple platform, you can customize all you want.

Oh, WOW! What is the hangup with that washer-bottle thing??? Are you guys for real? It's under the HOOD for cryin' out loud! Are you seriously afraid yur friends will think less of your 84 mpg car if they see a washer bottle used as the reservoir?? That's a joke right? You're just...
