IT PASSED! NC Elio Owners can now drive their autocycles without a helmet. From today's blog: "The governmental affairs team, after two years working with the state, came up with a big win in North Carolina with the passing of H6 which will allow the people of North Carolina to drive their...

It's all good, lol. It was a busy day and I'm sure we all forgot something. I didn't even mention what I thought about the car. I really liked it up close. Didn't change my mind on liking the style of the P3 more. I agree with the dash looking a little cheap in person, but I still would...

Well, I got there at about 12:15pm and the line was wrapped around two sides and back to the Godiva Chocolatier store. Took 1.5 hours to reach the car but there was plenty of conversation with others in line around me. I enjoyed talking with those who shared that 1.5 hour crawl up to the...

I'll be making the trip over to Charlotte tomorrow. But I'm only 30 miles away so I go through Charlotte every day going to work.. :-) I want to get there early but I'm bringing some friends along (they want to see it too). Hoping to get there before noon. Thanks for the updates from those...

They have added the info to the tour listings now: http://www.eliomotors.com/find-us/#events

Yeah, I thought that was the case. I remember when they did the site update and the blog layout changed. Looks like none of the stuff from November on the page http://blog.eliomotors.com is being displayed on http://www.eliomotors.com/2014/11 and vise versa.

Okay... I was talking about the difference between these two pages: http://blog.eliomotors.com/ http://www.eliomotors.com/blog/ There really should only be one blog that they post and update. It's confusing to have two and not have them synchronized. I am assuming that both of those sites...

Nice! I just checked last night and they hadn't updated it yet. So they decided on a more central location in Charlotte. I was hoping for the Concord Mills, but I'll just be happy to see it in person. Oh, and for those who cannot find the link, (it doesn't show up on the Eliomotors.com...

My mom use to say she was an Independent Republicrat.... I mostly feel the same way. I hate politics and can't force myself to fully agree with any party.

I did notice that a few days ago the Jacksonville location didn't have a location set, but yesterday when I refreshed the page, it changed and showed the location. Right on time for being just 3 or so days before the event. We're next. Looks like we may not know the exact place in Charlotte...

The Volt is what I wanted when I was looking and the local Chevy dealer told me they can't keep them and are really hard to come by. Sounded like an uphill battle just to get my hands on one. Didn't think about looking at Carmax (duh!). I travel 60 miles each way (120 round trip) to work...

That does look really nice, but not anything I would pay even $1500 for. I don't know, call me old fashioned, but I just love the look of this cockpit with all of those analog gauges/buttons/knobs: [Broken External Image] The only thing I've considered adding from a tech standpoint is a...

Well, I don't think that 300 miles @ $70k + price is a game changer. It's a really nice car but the cost is out of most people's range, including mine, so I don't see Telsa as a game changer as that takes more than range alone. What I would see as a game changer would be these kinds of...

Yeah, that's my range expectancy too. If I can get 200 miles, it can do anything I need without worry. I do understand that there are still some fossil fuels involved with electricity generation in most areas and I think it's still around 65% coal/natural gas production or something in that...

When I bought my Chevy Sonic a couple of years ago, I said my next car purchase would be an all electric. I had been doing a lot of research on EV's and their cost was staggering. There was a car from the Chinese company BYD (backed by Warren Buffett) that provided most of what I needed...

Yeah JEBar, it is a lot of information. I did just go and open the PowerPoint attachment that he said could be included with your email to the rep/sen and it basically outlines everything above in a nice professional looking format from Elio Motors including pictures of the P3 and P4 for...

I contacted Elio Motors the day I opened this thread, and received a reply back today from Joel Sheltrown, VP Governmental Affairs at Elio Motors. I did find out that in NC, the Bill has not been introduced yet, but he still encourages writing your Senator/Representative. I haven't opened the...

UPDATED: Bill has not been introduced yet in NC. See my other post here: http://www.elioowners.com/threads/helmets-in-nc-meeting-this-month.4163/page-2#post-58842 Okay, I think I may have found our bill on the North Carolina General Assembly website, after a bit of searching. I believe it...

In North Caroiina, here is the website for Representative John Torbett: http://www.johntorbett.com/contact.htm It would be great if we had the proper name for the legislative law/bill that we are asking them to support, and if Elio had a sample format to show how to word your letter to the...

Sounds like they have the 5 remaining states that require helmets all lined up to look at changing the law for Elio drivers. Just updated today on the Elio blogs: Full Blog source here: http://blog.eliomotors.com/progress-continues-legislative-update-helmets-101714/
