    Send Email To Dop To Show Support For Elio Motors Loan.

    They've been working on getting the loan since at least 2013, I wonder how many more projects are in the review queue

    Investor Opportunity: A Message From Paul Elio

    I don't have that net worth nor that income, but now that they can legally advertise like this (per the SEC filing) they might find some people that see this as the home stretch. Now is when a finished production prototype would be well worth the money for them IMO. Edit: in fact, if they...

    Financing Elio Motors Development And Production

    I also got a chuckle out of David Schembri being listed outright as a "Director" on their 3/17/2014 filing, making their 'announcement' of his appointment 11 months (2/19/2015) later rather silly indeed.

    Financing Elio Motors Development And Production

    The offering was @ 30 million when they filed this time last year too, but that time it was offering Equity, whereas this one is offering Debt. In fact, each of their 3 other filings were selling Equity rather than debt. This is also the first year they're filing with a 506(c) exemption, which...

    Financing Elio Motors Development And Production

    Reportedly in Pennsylvania, Any motorist driving along a country road at night must stop every mile and send up a rocket signal, wait 10 minutes for the road to be cleared of livestock, and continue. Also, if you see a pack of horses coming towards you, you must immediately pull over and cover...

    Elio Motors @ New York Auto Show 2015

    Located adjacent to the "Clean Air Test Track" which seems is a venue to show off EV concepts and products with live demos. Having eco-minded reporters funneled near the Elio booth sounds like a good thing to me.

    Elio Motors Engine Unveiling 2/6/2015 -3/6/2015

    'only' 3 weeks... I mean... I understand waiting to unveil everything at once, but allowing it to completely fall off the map is strange. It seems to me that the engine (if it works as we're all speculating) is a huge milestone for them. They could be trickling information to...

    2/18/2015 - Coast To Coast Am - Paul Elio On Nationwide Radio Show Tonight

    I'm not, but that doesn't mean that if (for example) 99.9% of dentists say "you shouldn't chew glass" that it makes sense to host a show where you have 2 dentists, one from each 'side' of the 'argument' and give them equal time to state their case.

    2/18/2015 - Coast To Coast Am - Paul Elio On Nationwide Radio Show Tonight

    In this case, those who give them the platform have determined what they say has worth. And they're not wrong. The business model wouldn't work if they were. The problem is that they're judging that worth on profitability, not merit. I'm not going to get into if/why that's a problem, but...

    Freedom of speech grants the right to speak without penalty, but that doesn't mean anyone is obliged to listen or give you a soapbox. Not all speech has equal value, and treating every opinion equally is a waste of time.

    Motorcycle Etiquette

    One more note on the original topic is the geometry the bike actually takes through the turn... Allow me to illustrate (crudely): You mentioned that you cut the corner slightly to reduce the severity of the turn. (I know this illustration is bad but I closed the program before noticing...

    The Elio Automatic Transmission

    My Subaru Impreza has a CVT and while it took some getting used to - I don't mind it at all now. I definitely don't have the same sort of acceleration my last automatic had by default, but I can hit the paddle shifter at any time (not just in 'manual mode') and it will change the acceleration...

    Why The Prototypes Have To Wait On The Engine

    The voting system we use by it's very nature encourages polarization and nurtures a 2-party system. There are alternatives that encourage more compromise, but they're unlikely to take hold because they would need to be implemented by that very system. When the margins are 49-51%, nearly half...

    Raw Interview With Paul Elio

    They're operating with a single camera and you're not seeing the interviewer. The rapid re-framing is happening only when she's talking (and he's not), this is where you would cut in editing so you're hearing the questions (and sometimes his replies) while showing pictures / video footage /...

    2/5/2015 - Elio Motors Inc. Names Dave Schembri To Board Of Directors

    Wait a minute.... Why does this dude show up on Wikipedia as on the board of directors in April yet a post around that time does not agree. Meanwhile, his picture was posted to the Elio Website October 21 2013 There are mentions by other people about him being on the board during comments...
