    This "green Thing"

    It's a self aggrandizing sarcastic chain email posted to a forum. Those things weren't done because any generation was better or more environmentally conscious. That's just how it was. Then we pushed the boundaries of industry, science, and cheap labor to convince people to spend money...

    10/23/14 - Elio Passes First Review Phase For Atvm Loan

    This showed up in my alerts - where's the source announcement though?

    10/15/2014 - Tech Talk - Engine Series: Part 1

    To expand on this, if they ordered enough supplies to - say - run the assembly line a month at a time, potentially they would have to store 2833 of every single part that goes into the vehicle. 2833 engines, 2833 transmissions, 8499 wheels, etc. If they have a week or a day's worth of parts at a...

    10/20/14 Paul Elio On The Daily Ticker

    They seem to periodically post old interviews to their Facebook feed to keep it looking fresh and active.

    Paul Elio Responds To Critics, Ttac, 10-20-2014

    I thought it was particularly strange that he didn't seem to be aware Elio has applied for an ATVM loan already: "I’m guessing that Elio Motors may apply for an ATVM loan."

    Is Anyone Going Base Model?

    This graphic might be an exaggeration, but it pretty well shows why you shouldn't (at least in a regular car) adjust your mirrors so that you can see the sides of your car. Here's your visibility: Anywhere you have overlap is wasted visibility. In front of you, it's free - but visibility...

    Reservations: 65341 As Of 6/20/2017

    As low as 42/day seems, it's also constant. Over the past month, the average has been about 45/day. The average deviation from that is only +/-5 week to week. While 42 reservations per day may not sound like a lot in the context of 800/day at the Sept 1 cutoff, that's still a lot of...

    10/13/2014 - Csmonitor.com - Government Program That Loaned Billions To Tesla, Fisker Restarting

    This is like a game of telephone. The Detroit News article says: He declined to name what companies might be getting loans. But he said the program has been focusing on suppliers, and there’s been interest in making vehicles lighter in weight. “That’s one of the easiest ways to comply with...

    Name That Elio / Elio Logo / Elio Marketing

    Cute, but that single seater would have no gas tank, and the center of gravity might get.... flippy..

    Is Anyone Going Base Model?

    I don't much like navigation that isn't tied into Google. I run it on my way home from work so it can intelligently detour me around traffic. Saved me 15+ minutes this week so far just by switching a road here and there.

    Reservation Cutoff?

    My bet is the announcement of the end of reservations will significantly bump the percentage of refundable reservations as people on the fence want to get their boot in the door without committing more than necessary. After all, those reservations can probably still be upgraded until the numbers...

    Your numbers are a little high for Pandora, it's more like 36/hr

    Is Anyone Going Base Model?

    This is why I drive silver cars. As tempting as it is to get a 'fun' color Elio, I'll probably get silver purely for the practicality.

    Is Anyone Going Base Model?

    Pandora doesn't take all that much. I use it probably every other day on my 45+ minute commute and it accounts for .06G of my usage in the past month.

    Fun with numbers: Bill Gates could bankroll Elio at 185 million 410 times and still have 150 Million left over.
