How big is the fuel tank? One of the things I wish my Honda Fit had was a bigger fuel tank.

China can build some quality stuff. Just look at what Oppo UDP-203 are going for on Ebay now since they stopped making them. It is the best 4K disc player I've ever owned, and I've owned some costing $2000. It is the ONLY disc player that will play MKVs with Atmos/DTS-X over a network. The...

Well. I've been looking into installing a JuiceBox or similar to charge SOMETHING while I wire up a 125 Amp sub-panel for my A/V gear. My commute is 17 miles so I could go a week on a single charge at $0.11 a KWh. Might be a Tesla Model 2 if it comes in at $20k w/ 250 mile range or the Elio E.

You want to hear something even more depressing. When all this cryptocurrency thing was just starting I traded 550 Bitcoin for a 24 pack of Coke and a few trinkets. This was when it could be mined with Core2Quad PCs with nVidia 9800GTX. Learned my lesson and kept all of the Ethereum I mined.

If I had to guess Elio is looking at Electra Meccanica and their success with a compact EV. I've been contemplating the Solo since my daily commute is only 16 miles now through back roads. My car is only 5 years old and can go almost 4 weeks without filling up so the 100 mile range on the Solo...

I think that Paul started this venture in good faith but didn't realize how daunting a task it would be. I put down my non-refundable $1000 deposit fully knowing that I was backing the idea rather than a product that met his 4 goals. I would think that I would go into hiding too if things went...

I bought a new Honda Fit back in November 2015 and it has been a nice little commuter so far. My commute is 58 miles a day, half heavy traffic and half interstate. I get a solid 40 MPG going by my paper mileage logs but the trip meter reads just over 43. Getting my first set of new tires soon...

I was under the impression that Paul already had an investor ( or investors ) early on but didn't want to give up control of the company. I bet he burned those bridges and now they just want Elio to fail so that they can pick up the pieces for a song and dance. Even though I ponied up a $1000...

I keep a physical book ( columns drawn in a journal ) with every car I own. It is something my dad taught me to do and it helps when it is time to sell the car as the journal also contains information about routine maintenance and repairs. It shows a potential buyer that your car wasn't just...

I did engine assembly and even that wasn't too terribly complicated. Just have to have the brain-power to follow the BOM. Unemployment is at 6.0% so there should be enough people to available to filter out the bad ones. Not the case where I live since unemployment is at 3.8% and falling. It is...

At least it is sort-of round so it can roll and bounce over other cars when hit by a texter in a 6000 pound SUV.

I couldn't wait on Elio to get a 2nd car either and bought a Honda Fit to share the commute duties with my 13-year-old ride, which is becoming a maintenance headache. Still going to get the Elio and get rid of the old car when that day comes. I'm only interested in either a traditional ICE or a...

That's the one thing that bothered me about the Smart... too much compromise for too little gain. I keep a physical log book of my mileage and then enter that data into an Excel spreadsheet I designed myself. I don't count the number of fill-ups, but that isn't hard since I could just do a row...

Mine is 21324. I went All-In about 6 weeks ago and just got my SIL number. I did buy a 2016 Honda Fit back in October to take over the commute duties of my 2004 Sunfire. When I get my Elio, I'll give the Sunfire to my brother. It is still a good car, but the things that need to be done to it...
