Though he's not very widely known yet, I respect Dustin's opinions.

As with almost anything, if you put any effort into it...
You can usually find opinions that suit your particular viewpoint.
Ironically, this video has the similar title of, "Solo 1 First Impression".

The real opinion that matters is always the individual potential customer's after a test drive.

I think the Model 3 will completely destroy anything else on your list in any measurable sense. Other then perhaps the coolness factor. The Elio really is a different, cool looking car.

I have ridden in a friends Model S. They are nice cars. I was just expecting to have my Elio before the Model 3 was ready. Now it's anyone's guess as to who makes it to market first.

Yes. One actually has nothing to do with the other, other than Electra Meccanica providing the discount/reservation for those individuals who can demonstrate that they have placed a deposit on another vehicle.

My thoughts are that Electra Meccanica realizes there is a large group of people who are interested enough in a 3-wheel economical vehicle to have already placed money down. While this group has proven interest by placing money on a concept, they may not be inclined to do so again; however, as proven followers of said vehicles, they are probably more likely to follow through with an actual purchase when someone can bring an acceptable product to market. Win-Win.

I received the same information when I applied my Elio Motors reservation to a Solo. I don't mind getting a 2017 Solo in 2018. At least I have a promise of a delivery. That's a lot more than I ever received from Elio Motors. I feel a little bad about giving up on Elio, But I see little hope for them ever making it into production in 2018.

I like the fact that we keep our Elio reservation and get the Solo discount.

They'll supply the new vehicle, you name it however you want.
I've got a Mustang that was produced and registered after the line "changed over" in late '03.
So I've got an '04 registered as an '03.
