Apple is an excellent example of a dedicated and courageous visionary creating a product - the personal computer - from whole cloth and succeeding. One could easily make the case that Bill Gates at Microsoft did the same. Where Steve and Bill differ from Paul is not in dedication, courage, or...
I don't think there is anything weeny'ing-outish about this. You did what you could - no one can ask more, including us and Paul. Sounds like you have a level-headed wife. If she wasn't, she mightta just said, "No. Period. Got it buster?"
I put in 416 shares, e.g. the nearest round number to the $5k I pledged. If we get to $25M I will probably go for the next round as well as that would be a very positive step.
+1 to that Rucrayze. It would totally cool to get this into production and I wouldn't be sad if it did not make all the metrics if that's what it took. I feel personally guilty getting my 23 mpg on my city drive to work. The Elio won't serve as my only ride but it will be my DD if it ever happens.
WilliamH,
And what hole would that be friend? Someone questioned - and that is being kind to questions by the way since some of the question was in ALL CAPS and some of it even punctuated - why I would both be optimistic enough to invest but pessimistic about it at the same time. If digging a...
I set mine up ACH too (as opposed to wire transfer) and haven't seen it yet. Not worried. I have the email confirmation. Congrats on pilling in as well.
This must vary considerably from institution to institution or be sensitive to timing of the investment. I completed the process this Monday past, getting my email thereafter, but StartEngine has yet to make the withdrawl.
I am slogging through the SEC Regulations governing the offering and there are many reporting requirements, including seveal indicating the types of disclosures and ongoing financial reporting that Elio Motors is subject to as a consequence of offering securities under the JOBS Act, Title IV...
I haven't been exactly on top of press announcements regarding the Open Window. Have there been any press releases or other reliable info as to when Elio Motors or StartEngine would announce the net proceeds once the window closes on December 2nd?
I would assume if the news is great and they...
Easy there friend. What I am saying (again) is: (1) I like the concept; (2) I like it enough to have invested 5k in the concept during StartEngine; (3) I did not like it enough to go bigger during the accredited investor offering; (4) my unwillingness to invest during the accredited investory...
LOL. I spin nothing. You can read my posts from a year ago and you'll see that my views are consistent, based on what facts I see (and research), and subject to alteration based on new facts. Why is wish-think more valuable to you than skepticism? Does it matter to you that those who doubt are...
I can neither confirm nor deny. I can only tell you that I have invested during the current round. It cannot imagine that it would be a violation of confidentiality to say that what was provided to me was fascinating reading. Elio Motors was quite forthcoming and acted in an highly transparent...
I am just as intrigued by the true believers as I am by the skeptics. But heretofore the skeptics are winning out. And whether sinner or saint we are ALL armchair quarterbacks. Those who are ardent fans are acting on the same information, e.g. none, as those who are not, making all of us...
Goofyone,
We had endless arguments over the prospects of ATVM funding right around this time a year ago. I don't care what DOE says at this point. Elio's package has been essentially in review now for closing on a year. I've given up parsing DOE's rules (I've read them all, including the...
2010 BMW 335d -> 2011 BMW 335d -> 2015 Subaru WRX -> 2014 BMW 328i. The Elio will not replace the 328i. Hands down the best mix of driving thrill and sheer luxury I have ever encountered. The Elio will be my oft daily driver just to use less gas and ease my conscience.
