I don't know about anyone else but as a all-in reservation holder I am tired about hearing about little more than the appearances of the P series or E series at shows. This seems like trivial news after all these years of slow slow progress. Why is it taking soooo long to get some track results...
I did not see the shirt they sent out anywhere in the contract language I signed. Those of us that put money in before a few weeks ago did not get any headphones so that is not consideration to us.
I would like to hear from some attorneys on this issue. It is my understanding that for a contract to be enforceable there must be consideration on both sides. That is each side must provide something to the other. A contract for me to give you money without your promise to provide a good or...
Ease up ok? I did not claim that the new agreement said we would have to pay prior to receiving our car. The truth is NOTHING IS SAID ABOUT WHEN FULL PAYMENT IS DUE. I would ask you where did YOU get the information that "you pay when you're ready to drive away in it"? I don't remember seeing...
I was wondering how this commitment to buy is going to work. Some people are saying that we should just commit because they will not force us to follow through anyway. That seems to beg the question as to how the idea of being committed is going to be put into practice. How soon relative to...
I was very happy and excited before when I saw that the Elio was going to have a tubular steel roll cage. They did computer crash simulations with the tubular steel cage protecting the occupants. It appears from the last few pictures of the E-series that hey are now using stamped steel instead...
You point is well made! It seems pretty basic to me that a company needs to get the most bang for their buck. I think there is so much more than can do for so little cost. I also think others on this forum have provided good constructive critisizm of what is currently being done. I hope the Elio...
Good discussion so far. Let's not talk about the car for awhile and continue to provide Elio with our ideas about what should be included at the show booth. Let the ideas flow, perhaps the company will listen?
I agree that the MOST important thing is to get people to sit in this vehicle but that doesn't mean it is the ONLY thing that should be done. I like to think multiple goal can be accomplished at the same time. Safety is NOT marketing fluff, it is a very key element of what is being sold. As any...
I completely agree that the road staff do a wonderful job. They share information, are friendly, and take all the time needed with each and every person they meet. Each of them should be complimented for the great job they are doing. However, there are so many fixed costs for keeping them on...
I have been a reservation holder for a new Elio for over a year and a half now. I can't wait to get my brand-new Elio fun car. I was wondering if anyone else was disappointed at the quality of the Elio display booth. I have just gotten a chance to view the brand-new P5 at the booth at Barrett...
Remember that when we indicated interest in investing in Elio Motors we had not yet seen the preliminary SEC filing papers. Only once we saw those documents could be each determine if Elio would be a good investment. It is in those documents that we learned that the price per share would be...
I am curious, I hear all the time that the ELio will have 55 hp, yet when I see the information board near the engine at the LA show it clearly says the engine is putting out 60hp. Which is correct?
I have seen the YouTube video of the impartial driver of the P4....I would think that Elio would want a similar sort of review be done of the P5 ASAP, no?Do you know of anything like that scheduled? I also realize it will be long time until the public can drive an Elio but a knowledgable and...
I would LOVE to hear from anyone that has any information about how the P5 actually drives. It looks GREAT. We all understand that the P4 was noisy, rough, and could not exceed 35mph. Has anyone actually driven the P5? Those driving impressions would be so very important and I would think Elio...
I have seen that simulation. In fact yesterday I got to talk to the EM folks at Barrett-Jackson in Vegas about those videos. They pointed out to me the major differences in the structure between P4 and P5. Really quiet remarkable and even safer than the P4 was going to be.
When I was taking a look at the P5 build pictures I could not help but notice that the way the frame is put together reminds me of a roll cage on a drag racer. Tubular steel all around and then the body panels are attached to the steel. It seems much safer than most cars on the road today. I see...
Hey Texconsin....do you realize that inflation most likely works in your favor? If they keep to the worst case estimate and sell the Elio for $7300 at the end of next year you actually benefit from inflation. Just put the $7300 into some interest bearing account now and when you need to write...
Does anyone have an idea concerning how much of the company Elio will be offering via the crowd funding option? I understand they have around $30 million non-committed. If all those non-commitments turned into shares, what percent of the company will be sold in that manner. If we knew that...
