Somebody from this forum should get an honorary seat on EM's BOD. Coss?

I'd do it for free; just travel expenses and I'd be good.

I suspect that somehow selling the test vehicles rather than keeping them in house checks something off the list to qualify for loan approval. Not that $680,000 isn't incentive enough. But I'm close to certain that they will cost more than they make off the transaction just like test vehicles always do.

I think, the sale of the 100 is a very smart move on many levels. To get "real world test results" without having to pay wages for 100 drivers?...

I doubt they'll be selling the 25 E-series test vehicles. Especially since more than a few of them are going to effectively destroyed during testing.

The way I understand it, most E-Series A through X will not be built out to full specs, but will be built to test particular aspects of the design for specific tests. But I could easily be wrong. But wouldn't a collector love to have one of the E series that survives the tests?

Sure they would, which is why Elio will most likely keep them in house under lock and key.

Wouldn't a future Elio owner love to see a pre-crashed E Series.
