As much as I am excited for what your doing, I'll keep it frank, quite a past out there on this sort of stuff, so I'd disagree with your above comment...
Anyway, not to doubt anything your doing, or to discourage you (as there is nothing for us[forum members] to lose [not asking for...
Surely the 120mil figure was including the manufacturing machines, setup, labor, etc, aligning gaskets, flame spray, etc.
Such as building a house you'd need to buy/rent all the equipment, parts, labor, permits, scrap, redos over the 6 months it takes to build, then in the months it becomes a...
"Must-have 3: All-American Pedigree
Elio is American-made targeting utilization of 90% North American content, and we have re-engineered existing technology throughout. That means no trial and error anywhere. Just tried and true everywhere."

Looks like Paul is releasing some of his millions of shares before he calls it quits; guess $250,000.00/yr wasn't enough while normal entrepreneurs hardly pay themselves until the company is up and running.
I noticed the Query String "?author=3"
So simply found a relative webpage on the EM site and passed the query string with a few integers cycles and it yield back the corresponding result.
Was able to open up a slight employee/user list from it:

How less then $8500?
$7300 + $695 Transport + $0 Dealer fee + $250 registrations +$560 tax = $8,800+ minimum assuming you want a manual.
$10,000+ no options for automatic
You need to subtract the equity value remaining over the course of the 4 years for it to be equivalent. Sure you may be spending $606/month on new Prius, but after 4 years you own a ~$16,000 near liquid asset.
Not that it matters or means anything; but I see 6 - 2 - 15
Other Elios still look to be in basic staging
Looks like custom wire harness completed

Cool fun stuff, excited for next week!
Americans are expensive.
