    When

    Elio like many great ideas will never come to fruition. The idea of a vehicle that could be manufactured and sold for less than $10k with cheap fuel costs would have revolutionized commuting to work. Arcimoto, the electric 3 wheeler, is in production and plans to build about 200 vehicles a...

    I Have Given Up On Elio, Have You?

    My attitude was and is, just cut back one trip to Las Vegas and the $1000 loss doesn’t sound so bad. I also have a deposit on an Arcimoto. They are building some vehicles and at this point I’d rather have the Arcimoto.

    Two Out Of Three Americans Say They Will Not Buy A Self Driving Car

    I alway said if I won the lotto my first purchase would be a limo with a chauffeur to drive us. In my youth I had the 327/350hp Chevelle SS, Mustang 302/290hp and an Alfa Romeo Spider Turismo. Today a self driving car sounds great, maybe it’s because I grew up watching the Jetsons cartoons.

    When - Really?

    I finally gave up and bought a new Hyundai Sonata Ltd. great car get 32mpg over all and 36 on highway. If Elio does come out I will probably still consider purchasing as I am all in. Perhaps I would give it to a deserving friend or relative. Elio let the window for their vehicle close. As an...

    How This Radical Car Missed Its Chance To Change The World - Maybe!

    Barnum also delivered - The Greatest Show On Earth. The reference about Musk was and is his ability to fire up a crowd and to raise money, unlike Paul Elio

    Sooo, Have The Unwritten Rules Been Suspended Or Do They Continue?

    The $5 was a tongue in check comment. Since it appears Elio is “dead in the water” on the current gasoline vehicle, perhaps an EV version could revitalize this company and allow a vehicle to actually be produced. The $1k spent 3 years ago is gone but I would like to think there might be a...

    How This Radical Car Missed Its Chance To Change The World - Maybe!

    Arcimoto recently did a second issue on their stock for the electric powered FUV. Electric is the hot button. Elon Musk is jut another PT Barnum, but he has no issue getting more investment money.

    Sooo, Have The Unwritten Rules Been Suspended Or Do They Continue?

    To Elio Motors: 1. For commuters the electric vehicle is the current optimum option because the “filling station”:is the owners home or garage. The preferred commuter vehicles will be electric for the foreseeable future. 2. Hydrogen powered vehicles will eventually replace gasoline for vehicles...

    How This Radical Car Missed Its Chance To Change The World - Maybe!

    I liked this video, as a long time all in buyer. The one point at the end of the video is my primary question now CAN ELIO CONVERT TO MAKE THIS AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE? If this one change was made and IF they could keep the initial price at under $12,000 before options, Elio could get backing to...

    Just Wow!!!

    I also saw this news release earlier today. This is very good news, but Elio still has no money to go into production. If they have enough money left to build a prototype or a beta with this new engine, Paul Elio could spend the rest of the company’s money going around showing it to others. I...

    What Is The Latest Start Production Date?

    There was an old Johnny Mathis song that was popular in the 1950s that I’d say was an appropriate answer for your question. THE TWELTH OF NEVER!

    Overstock Buys $2.5 Mm Of Elio Stock

    So, does this mean this vehicle will finally be produced? I saw notice on Facebook that Overstock committed to buy $2.5 MM of Elio stock on April 24th. I have had a reservation for over 3 years and would love to see this vehicle produced before I am to old to drive! Anyone else have any other...

    Reservations: 65341 As Of 6/20/2017

    Without the government loan there will never be enough investor capital to produce a significant number of vehicles. The last investor funds went to a small "test fleet" which circumvented those of us who are all in for the max. Perhaps with Trump in office the government loan will be a...

    What Is The Latest Start Production Date?

    There may be a better chance to get the MUST HAVE government loan since Trump took over. All the bulls**t about raising money from the public was a smoke screen, they just could not get enough money without the government loan. Before all the hostile Jim Jones "drank the Cool-aide" believers...

    Eplus Configuration

    Has anyone else tried this"too" on the Elio website? So far it has not worked (tried about 10 times and at different times of day), but I would love to see what Elio is projecting as available options and the costs of each of those options.

    Locked In

    When I did login to my Elio account it showed my purchase and athe dates. What it doi not show was 1. My reservation number 2. My bonus amount based on my deposit and deposit date 3. The lock in for $7000 base price I feel these items should show up on your account. Your opinions are requested.

    Locked In

    I submitted the electronic form to lock the price at $7000. I have been "all in" for well over 2 years so I also assumed that I was going to get another $500 toward the final price of the vehicle (IF PRODUCTION EVER HAPPENS). I also wonder about the $500 promised to induce my deposit, will...

    100 Preproduction Elio's To Be Built In December!!

    Is disappointment allowed,from a reservation in 3000s? Hope they actually build this vehicle but they are still over $150,000,000.00 short of the funds they need to begin full production.

    Waffling On Base Price. Can They Make $6,800?

    I hope you are correct. To this point in time it is very difficult to believe Elio management. I know they are trying to keep everyone enthusiastic. Realistically, unless they get government money there is not enough money to produce this vehicle. They have given potential manufacturing...

    Waffling On Base Price. Can They Make $6,800?

    I agree and think the base cost will be close to $9000 so with automatic and a few other options the cost will exceed $12500 drive put.
