Huh? 'Should cost....', Based on what? The over-inflated prices the current suppliers charge? I don't understand how to calculate the 'should' cost of a vehicle.The biggest threat to Elio is that it's priced like a 350 cc motorcycle. With a/c, anti-lock and auto components, this "fun" concept should cost at least $9500. Elio probably can't survive @ $6800. Am buying one anyway...

I'll bet the journalist got her information from one of our TROLLS. Starting production "this july?"...an EV?
It's amazing, isn't it... how inaccurate an article can be. I know over the years I realized that you can only believe about 25% of what you hear on the radio. The number is probably lower for articles on the internet. Just like that TV commercial, I think it was for State Farm, the woman met the guy online that said he was a model from France, and when he walks up he looks like a showers-twice-a-day American from <insert your least favorite state here>. "They can't put anything on the internet that isn't true." "Where'd ya hear that?" "The internet."
Jerome Vassallo told me on July 18 that they are currently $200 above their cost bogey. When I observed that the car would sell briskly at $10K, he said, "We know that. We also know that we have to make a profit to stay in business. But Paul [Elio] is thinking about the woman who drives 75 miles to her job at Walmart and cannot afford even a $10,000 car. So we're hunting every possible savings we can find."The biggest threat to Elio is that it's priced like a 350 cc motorcycle. With a/c, anti-lock and auto components, this "fun" concept should cost at least $9500. Elio probably can't survive @ $6800. Am buying one anyway...
Do I understand you right? Someone at Elio commented with the possibility "that it won't happen"? Can you send me a link to that comment please?But then i started noticing on facebook this last week or 2. People asking questions and elio made about 6 comments that i recall where they state there is a possibility the car wont happen. How do they go from its definately coming this summer to just a small delay to its possible it wont happen??
