E1 Photos!

If you pay careful attention toward the end you will also see a Red and a Creamsicle E series in the background.

Cool vid with lots of new pictures for us to dissect! But unfortunately I'm pretty sure those two in the back are the P4 and P5.

So, no body panel where the front suspension comes out. Maybe that didn't buy much in the aerodynamics department.. Or maybe they were left off of this one on purpose, like the headlights.

I've been thinking about this. Since, as others have mentioned, they have put adjustable suspension onto the E1 (presumably to nail down the optimum ride height), then it makes sense to leave off those covers until they have the final suspension geometry.

The Red and the Creamsicle are the P5 and the P4 to the right of those two is a white one probably the E1A
The question then is, what's under the cover?

I did a freeze and both had the new style headlights. There was also what looked like another white one lurking back there.

Do it again, the headlights are different from each other on those two

And it looks like they fixed the hinky junction between the roof panel and the rear hatch. Dang that was a lot to see; obviously, they're trying to show "progress" while they suck the taxpayers dry. It's gotta be a scam!

I saw what you are talking about, but I think those are the P4 and P5. Now I can't figure out why they would be there. But the nose on the creamcicle is wider.

On second thought, why wouldn't you have the prototypes available as you assemble the E Series to use as references for construction?

Looking good in white!!! The aerodynamic styling really pops! That will be my color for the hot Mile High summers...

On other pictures I saw on Facebook of the press event, all 4 of the prototypes were present. So that "white" one is probably the P3, and the E1A was under the cover.

Good marketing, 3 of the prototypes, an engineering test Elio, and frames for additional E-series; Elio Motors has certainly come a long way from some humble beginnings.
