Here is a bunch of losers talking about vehicles they will never have. Elio owners? None of you own an Elio, just a worthless reservation like mine.
I’m guessing Paul started this blog. Anyone want to buy my reservation for half price?

So, you started a Troll thread.
Good for you!
Is it everything you had hoped?
Is your seething rage satisfied?

The Elio is delayed and may never happen.
Yes, we know.
Most of us have moved on already, so your trolling is redundant.

Oddly, we still have hope for the idea of the Elio.
The simplicity, the lack of dealing with the Scumtastic car dealers, and to own something unique.
We'll keep coming back until the car is produced, or the company gets liquidated.

We want to make the world a better place.

You want to insult strangers for wanting to make the world a better place.

On the bright side...
We know who the real loser is.

At least I only paid $100 for my T shirt

A higher price allows for a more expensive manufacturing process and parts (less discounts) so some Elio at least get on the road. If Arcimoto can sell its little EV starting at about $12K without options, I would think an Elio could get $12K also.
You didn't answer my question...

Increasing the cost is not what Elio is going for. Elio is going for a cheap "car" that even a high school student can afford, or parents can afford a new "car" for their college student vs buying a 3k car that will probably cost a bit in maintenance while their kid is at school. Also, most people are not going to be buying a base Elio since most people can't/won't drive a manual, which is another 1k to the 7,500 base price, add a few more options and you are looking closer to 10k.

Yes, I do understand what you are saying and I understand Elio's desired customer base an "and car" concept and pricing model which I applaud and have followed, myself intensely since early 2016. My point is, (as with Tesla filling and selling the high optioned Model 3 orders first to make a profit before delivering the plain ~ $35K cars to the masses), there is an Elio audience that would pay more for the Elio $7.5K auto-cycle giving Elio some alternatives at first with manufacturing and initial delivery. I would think they then would have done their "real proof of concept" with cars on the rood at even a higher and then move into mass production and selling to the masses with their pricing model and appeal. Don't get me wring, I hope they make it and do so soon but it is not looking good. Even the USA went to the moon first before thinking about Mars. The sad part is they are close but have not even finished all engineering and testing which would attract investors. Completing the Elio (I mean COMPLETE) should have been a priority with how they spent gobs of money.

I know who the real losers are. Those who come here trying to make other people upset. I guess people like you have nothing better to do in your life than to dishearten those who enjoy a good life's journey.
I see why your "Tag" is Grumpy :). I dislike no one and have no disdain for anyone, nor a desire to upset them. I do not have a sensitivity issue and feel everyone should be allowed to speak their mind and yes some do it with much more though and others just complain about other people and their comments. Just share constructive comments and not call people losers.

I like to get to the point. ;)

If you haven't noticed, Tesla isn't doing so well:

Do you it would be a good business decision to sell and build the more expensive models before the cheaper ones, especially with reservation holders, which some of us have been waiting several years?

Elio has said time and time again that they are trying make a "car" that is affordable for all. Adding 5k to it makes it less affordable. ;)

Business Insider is a rag, and currently Bears and shorts are attempting to spread FUD in an attempt to manipulate the stock. Tesla is one of the most shorted stocks in the world, and many people stand to lose millions, if not billions, of dollars...

Tesla may certainly go bankrupt, but it's not happening anytime soon.
