I agree, but for me it's trust........not faith. Mr. Elio seems passionate about his vision, driven to get it done, has a plan in place, keeping promises with some problem adjustments along the way, showing real progress................that makes him trust worthy. It looks like quite the capital FUN little ride.

Another all nighter on the Elio Owners forum
Wow, I've got through so many threads tonight however after reading a thread called: Did Elio Close On The Shreveport Plant? and now this one. I'm more convinced now more then ever I need to raise the ante from, 'I'm all in @ $100.00 to the 1K' by the end of the month.....
Doesn't matter if it eats up most of my social security check for the month or not....I'll eat bean burritos for the months of August and September if thats what it takes to now become 100% invested then thats what I'm going to do.....thanks for another enlightening Elio thread.....Elio Motors, count me in!

I started out the same way. I'll wait until the first one rolls off the assembly line.. I am now convinced this will happen, so I put in my full $1000 based on faith alone. I have never paid for a non existent product before, but I believe that Elio will be a success and having a lower number car ( probably in the 8-9000 area) will be a good thing when these are popular.

EXACTLY! I am also ALL IN at $100 (to guarantee a first year sell, according to EM) but when EM shows the product, I show the other $900 since I can't afford $1000 on a promise.
On a post I read on FB yesterday, one guy had written to EM asking if his autocycle would be done by his birthday on July 23, 2016. EM replied it would be close. I did some math. From Sept 29, 2015 to July 23, 2016 encompasses 210 work days. The guy claimed his number (ALL IN - $1000) was under 6000, so I divided 6000 by 210 (work days). That comes out to 28.571 autocycles per work day. That is a FAR FAR cry from what EM has been promising all along, isn't it?
So I am with you. I have shown my faith. It is beyond time to see any results. About 10 days ago, I wrote to EM telling them the same thing. They PROMISED me we would be getting "exciting news" soon. I hope so. I WANT them to succeed.

I agree Elio WILL pull it off, SOMEDAY. VW already has a model that looks almost like the Elio and gets 300 mpg. They will only HAND BUILD 2000 of them at a cost of $60000. The USA won't even allow them to bring it her on tour because Americans will realize we are getting shafted at the gas pumps. (Taxes) So...if VW can do it with OFF THE SHELF technology, so can Elio deliver 84 mpg. I think the cost will rise to closer to $8000 though. I am good with THAT if hey put a few niceties or near requirements in (OBD II).
It IS going to happen.

Just a reminder -- there will not be a "next prototype" for public consumption, according to Mr. Vassallo on June 18. There will be a prototype for manufacturing take-offs (measurements), but it won't be like the P4, shipped all over the place.
