Contest: Win An Elio!

[Muzhik]

Cool your jets, boys, I'm just bouncing some ideas here. I haven't contributed any money so I don't know what the contract says, other than you can't sell your place in line. There are a couple of stores in town that push how so much of their stuff is all-american made. Then it hit me: could one of these stores or chains run a contest to win an Elio?

I'm thinking to start now because of all the legal hoops for jumping, but the plan goes something like this:

Company puts its $1,000 down to reserve a spot. When it's clear that Elio has gotten all the funding and govt. approvals they need, the company can start advertising the giveaway and soliciting names, phones, and email addresses.

I guess my question is if there are or will be major differences between an individual person's buy-in and a corporate buy-in.

Fleet sale are encouraged now
w/permission from EM you can sell your reservation, however, the buyer moves to the end of the all ins/want ins at that dollar amount.
easiest examples 1000 all in will get you to the end of the all in line i.e.you'll have the last number that day
100 want in- you move to the end of all reservations.

A fleet sale is 5 or more at a time; no less. Price is exactly the same a 5 X 1

EM's direct to consumer sales model is one price, no individual wheeling and dealing necessary for the best price and volume discounts don't apply.

I'd rather just put some money down (like I did) to get one sooner than to get on a million spam lists and have to wait even longer to get an Elio (IF I was to even win).
Crummy idea.

Dunno....wouldn't mind winning one as a 2nd Elio.

Interesting idea! I like your brain-storming.

The Company would want to wait until it's clear that Elio has gotten all funding and govt approvals, and then put down the $1000 to reserve the spot. To the Company, the risk of putting the $1000 in now would far outweigh the benefit of being earlier in line.

But I think once the funding is secured, the Company would/should be up for it!

You could donate it to your church for a fundraising raffle.
