Delays? Really.

[Randall Keener]

I just saw where they (elio) is delaying the production until next year (2016)? I always thought it was going to be released in 2015. I am glad I didn't send any $$ to order one now. I haven't even seen one up close yet and I live 45 miles from the plant!

Dung happens. I'm planning to up my third reservation to the 1K max Monday morning. I'll have three numbers then. 6 more months to get the full payment in on it. YA YAY! And the OHIO Laws will be fixed by then too and my family will be legal to drive AND ride in our Elios without helmets and endorsements.

Welcome to the wait!
See, had you been a member here sooner, at least you would have known about the delay earlier!

Welcome to the forum, Randall! Just think. When they do start pumping them out, it won't take you but maybe a 1/2 gallon of gas to get home!

Randall, welcome from New Mexico and to the long wait. I've been waiting since 2013 and while I'm frustrated by the delays I still think the Elio is worth waiting for.

They did not say they would be in production in 2016 for sure. That is when the next delay will be announced. Until they find money it will not happen.
As of now they have none.

1 year from now if final testing is not completed, it'll won't happen- EM will be facing daily penalty sometime in 16, if they don't have 1500 hires

Dang Smitty901, you were such a positive voice prior to the last delay. Now your just a huge Debbie downer. Surely you must have something positive about elio that you could focus on because I can't believe your continual dissing of EM is good for either you or the forum.

Speaking constructively, I hope you can find a way to brush the last delay off and not let it continue to poison you so much.

Speaking pragmatically trumps constructively

Pragmatic? I'm not sure how kicking a dead horse over and over and over is pragmatic; its still dead.

Maybe I'm channeling the positive Z attitude but to me if I'm sitting in a big pile I could either focus on the pile or more optimistically focus on the lovely flower that pile is helping to fertilize and grow.

Monty Python said it another way - "always look on the bright side of life":

All you negative nellies are free to keep harping on things that have passed and I hope it doesn't continue to eat you up inside. I'll choose to focus on better things that may still come to be.
