Just got it too. This is bs... All I ever get from Elio is emails about delays or rehashed "news" that have been on the blog or Facebook for about a week or two. Nothing substantial with a positive spin. If I don't have my Elio by early spring '16, I'm gonna buy a Nissan Sentra and call or a day.
Chicago to Shreveport, staying at hotel. Looks like a boring town so hopefully they'll give us a tour of the plant. Maybe meet a few Eliowners and compare options installed and such. It'll be a long drive back, lots of photos will be taken. And I'll get to test my Elio's connectivity while...
Well, my 5yr old loves Batman, TMNT, Transformers, etc. So since these are also my childhood characters (I'm 33) I was thinking about doing my own logo name badge and model name. My Elio is black and I'm gonna go with this theme, instead of say, the Elio P6, mine's gonna be a TF Decepticon. I...
What cool model names will Elio have? Surely it can't be the "P6"!
Or could it...?
And Paul Elio created the company Elio Motors but I'm waiting for the announcement: "Elio Motors is now [new name]". Like Ford/Lincoln or Toyota/Scion.
Just bought a 01 Cougar with 96k mi. for $1700. "Winter car" til my Elio #6491 is ready for pick up. Then I'll sell the Cougar for $1500 and put that towards my Elio options (auto trans, heated leather power seats, rear camera, etc...) Next spring, I still have my 03 Vstar 1100 Custom to ride...
That makes 3 of us around Chicago so far! I'm in Bolingbrook, 30 min. from Yorkville and 45 min. from Dekalb. There's 1 Pepboys and a future Elio dealer/store right by me...
Yeah, that's what I meant, a foot and a half at least. I'm not talking about some off the shelf makeshift part. I want oem or true purpose aftermarket. Color matched to the rest of the Elio covers on the fenders and rear swing arm.
Oh wait, I read your post wrong I think. I guess you mean DOT/DMV generated #? Yeah, it would be cool to have the last 4 or 5 numbers be the actual production #s...
I doubt it. All production cars AND motorcycles have VIN#'s. The frame and motor of the vehicle also have some matching numbers. You will need the VIN# for title, insurance, etc...
What about a pair of flexible suspension covers? For the gap between the body and the fenders. The control arm, stabilizer links and all other suspension components are completely exposed to the elements (I live in Chicago).
So far they have 35,000 preorders, at least 10,000 of those are $1000 All-in. That equals over $10 million in committed preorders. Most of these vehicles will end up costing around $10k after all the options, taxes and fees. So up to this point, if we only count the $1k All-in, they have a...
