Why is it that Elio is Advertising the $6,800.00 Price of the Elio without letting ANYONE know in Clear Basic Terms that it's for a Manual Transmission?
The difference between Automatic Transmissions and Manual Transmissions in Automobiles today is Just 3.9 percent for Manual which by basic...
What I Would Like to See in the Production Model for 2017 is an Optional Upgrade from 2 Hi/Low Beam Headlights to 4 Headlights which would be 2 Low Beams and 2 High Beams for a Total of 4 Headlight Beams on the Elio instead of Just 2 Headlight Beams.
I had went to the NY Auto Show and was there at 10:00AM. I had made My way to the Elio Display where they had the Elio P5 which I got to Sit in and Check out. I also got to Meet Paul Elio and Talk with Him about the Elio and Ask some Questions. Some of My Questions He was able to answer right...
2 Different Options that I would like to see be Available would be;
1. Air Ride System. Especially to Increase the height of the low clearance of the Vehicle when going over Speed Bumps or Entering a Driveway that's on an Incline.
2. Dual Beam Headlights. Instead of having just a Single High/Low...
For a LOT of Us, We would Reach and go Past the Warranty in 3 Different Time Periods. 1. In Less than 1 Years Time. 2. In 1 Years Time. 3. In 2 Years Time.
Because of the Amount of Driving that We Do on a Regular Basis.
So, if we Drive Over 40,000 Miles in 2 Years Time and then either the...
It would Replace a More Expensive Vehicle that's Much Less Efficient on Gas, More Expensive on Most Incidentals like Wiper Blades, Tires, Spark Plugs, Wires, and Oil Changes. Not to Mention Tolls, since the Elio Would fall under a Cheaper Toll Plan Due to it's Fuel Efficiency.
So, it really...
No.I haven't.
If All I have Ever Driven was an Elio for the Amount of Driving I have EVER Done So Far, it Would Be a Extreme Amount.
So far it is about 1.3 Million Miles Driven and Many More to go since I'm Quite a Long way from Retirement.
That
That could be True, but if and when Anything happens to the Vehicle, the Current Warranty is Only Good for 3 Years and 36,000 Miles.
Nothing was said about how Long COULD the Life of the Engine Possibly Be.
Just about the WARRANTY Was Mentioned for Whenever a Problem could happen Before...
Back and forth to and from Work and Elsewhere.
Work Only has always been between 100 to 120 Miles a day. 500 to 600 Miles a Week.
Then Wherever Else I would decide to go Whenever. Which could add from 2 Miles a Day to another 100 Miles a Week.
The Elio is supposed to have a 3 Year / 36,000 Mile Warranty.
I Drive on average about or More than 36,000 Miles in 1 Year.
Will there be an Option for HIGHER MILEAGE Warranty Available?
Or will a Cheap Replacement Powertrain be Available instead?
The 3 Year / 36,000 Mile Warranty is Ok for...
This would be Solved in one of three ways.
The First would be to have All Gauges.
The Second would be with the Skyzmatic App for a Tablet.
And the Third would be to have a Fully Computerized Instrument Cluster which could get upgrades when the Vehicle gets Serviced or be Downloadable to be...
In reference to the Lights on the Wheel Pods.
Have a Light / Reflector that's just a Reflector on the Back Side of the Wheel Pod and wraps around to the Side of the Wheel Pod that's a Marker / Turn Signal as to Not be Too Much of a Distraction to the Driver because of the Reflector being Lit Up...
Skyzmatic App.
A Downloadable App for Whatever OS Tablet that You Currently Own.
The Skyzmatic App would connect to the Vehicle through the USB Port and Give You All the Information Needed about the Vehicle.
Also, "IF" Your Tablet has a Data Plan to Connect Wirelessly, then More Features could...
Since NO NEW TECHNOLOGY is supposed to be used in the Eliot in order to keep the Price at $6800 then also have a Standard Analog Instrument Panel and Not the Dial Speedometer and Tachometer.
1. Dual Beam Headlights for Separate High Beam and Low Beam.
2. Sykzmatic App for iPad, Android, and Windows. For Our own Current and Future Tablets.
3. Fog Lights as an Option.
4. Fully Reclining Driver Seat for the Commuters that Want or Need to take a Nap in the Vehicle.
5. Standard Rear View...
