Paul Elio commented the space under the dash was very crowded with equipment and wiring. Perhaps a computer monitor would reduce that clutter, but having to reach behind the steering wheel would be awkward.
Perhaps have two monitors, with one on each side, showing the same or different...
Paul Elio should at least investigate building the vehicle in China. I know he has boasted about the Elio being built in American with North American parts, but I don't think that matters much to people any more. I understand the good ole red blooded Mustang (EV) is not even made in the USA.
The Louisiana Motor Vehicle Commission (LMVC) is made up of people who own dealerships and other vehicle related businesses. This is a big conflict of interest. They tried to destroy EM by letting them exist for a while so a large fine could be accumulated. I thought EM would try to do...
When I last heard from EM, they were trying to raise approx. $300,000,000. I assume he is trying to still raise that much and more. The assembly line, robots, dies, presses, etc. still need to be made for an EV (electric vehicle) as for a ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicle. Most of the...
EM has shown computer drawings of the vehicle's frame. Earlier drawings showed a solid bar on the drivers right side. The last drawing I saw showed an opening on the right side that was identical to the left side opening where the door goes.
I believe they are placing a door on the right side...
Does anyone know how many people signed the commitment to buy the Elio at the price (I believe) of $7,400?
The price difference per vehicle is $14,900 - $7,400 = $7,500.
Assuming profit was 25% of the $14,900, this equals $3,725 profit per vehicle.
The loss Elio Motors would take per vehicle...

I too was shocked. Pleasantly shocked! I never expected to see anything like this.
Maybe we can get the ole gang back on this website. I remember it being full of upbeat and excited people.
I also remember Zelio:
The grand ole lady of ElioOwners
A lady with class --- that gave it class.
"Moving ON" is a good idea. I have. I have a deposit on an Aptera. Aptera is an electric two seater from Aptera Motors, which is an electric vehicle start-up company. Yes, Yes, I know. I never learned anything. You don't have to tell me.
You asked "what categories should we have". I...
I have seen his videos about Tesla and they are good.
I hope he is not anti-ICE (internal Combustion Engines) vehicles.
I would like to know what he thinks of the Elio vehicle.
I have wondered if the Elio design could be modified to make it an EV. That may be the only way it could get...
Elio Lite.
Going with the new “mystery” engine has saved EM 120 million dollars in development cost and makes it easier to get the money for production (because they need less).
What development steps can be done to reduce the amount of money needed? Which would we be willing to accept if it...
Suppose EM was offered full funding and the vehicle would be built to the current specifications for performance, quality and safety. But, the vehicle had to be built in China and imported to America.
Would Paul Elio accept the offer or let the project die?
What do you think he should do?
