    New Elio email

    The $14K is on Elio’s website now, along with the reference to an electric power train (without elaborating on it). Good thing I wasn’t eating or drinking when that email popped up. Would’ve chucked up whatever was going down.

    Just Wow!!!

    My bet is that it will be Ford's three-cylinder 1.0L (Fox) Ecoboost engine with cylinder deactivation. It seems to fit the specs alluded to in the press release and it's garnered many awards...

    Elio Court Hearing On 3/27/2018...

    To me, Elio has a clear basis for appeal. "Manufacturer" is defined in Louisiana law as "any person, resident or nonresident, who fabricates, manufactures, or assembles motor vehicles, recreational products, or new, remanufactured, reconditioned, or rebuilt motor vehicle or marine motors." It...

    Another Thought Provoking Patrick Byrne Interview...

    I don't care if he's a raving lunatic as long as he helps make the Elio production a reality. Then the only thing I'll call him is visionary.

    The current version of orange (more of a burnt orange) is more appealing to me than the brighter orange of the third gen Elio shown in the pic.

    Uber Self-driving Vehicle Accident Results In Pedestrian Fatality In Arizona...

    As tragic as this event was, I'm hoping it can at least help improve the predictive modeling aspects of autonomous systems (e.g., looking not just at where things are in a snapshot, but calculating probabilities of potential positional changes such as sudden jaywalking, kids running out between...

    News From Shreveport

    Apparently they forgot to mention the part about the toxic regulatory and legislative landscape and generally anti-business environment in that parish.

    It could also have the real effect of reducing insurance rates from what they otherwise might be without the autocycle designation. It all depends on how the actuarials come out on this relative new category relative to motorcycles.

    Elio Dealers!!!!!!!!!!????????????????

    The dealerships have been part of the Elio model since the beginning. They’ve been calling them retail centers, more like Genius Bars than traditional dealers, but they otherwise function as the locations where you go to test drive an Elio, pick out options, order the vehicle, and pick it up...

    Momentum V131

    That may actually be an older model or rendering of one. Compare it to the bare chassis that was revealed with E-1C prototype (the chassis next to the white E-1C has a second hole just behind the rear passenger window). Or maybe this is a newer chassis reflecting an effort to tighten up the...

    And The Vision That Was Planted In My Brain Still Remains Within The Sound Of Silence.

    That fits in with the line, “and the people bowed and prayed.” Good riddance to the lot of them and hopefully get new commissioners that are actually interested in job creation, not self-aggrandizement.

    And The Vision That Was Planted In My Brain Still Remains Within The Sound Of Silence.

    Fools, said I, you do not know Shreveport’s cancer likes to crow Hear my words that I might teach you Give my loans that I might reach you But my plans, like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed for the fed loan to be made And NASDAQ flashed...

    The Elio Engine

    Now that’s a powertrain I’d like to see in the Elio someday: twin-rotor, compact 654cc Wankel rotary engine a 40-kilowatt electric motor massive 180 hp (134 kW) ludicrous 151 lb-ft (205 Nm) of instant, tire-deforming torque 59 mpg...

    Arcimoto

    They might want to choose a different acronym than FUV, which can easily morph to effed-up vehicle if there are significant defects and consumer complaints, esp. in the early years.

    I understand the sentiment, but isn’t that like letting the fox in the henhouse, rather than just letting him guard it?
