So I looked at the board of whatever Elio wants to call them, and it seems like they have some intelligence and experience with selling cars. And when I apply who they are to the current scenario that Elio is acting out then I can put two and two together, here it is....
Elio has a very sound strategy going right now, one that is very well thought out, and superbly played. They are NOT making cars. No sir, making cars takes a lot of money...now selling cars, especially if you can keep your overhead down to say one or two cars, doesn't require anywhere near the outlay of cash that having a big ol plant and wrench-turners standing in it costs.
Ol Elio has some smart cookies working for him, or with him if you want to be all warm and fuzzy with the terms. Ya see he knows, or they know, that if he fires up the plant and then can't sell cars fast enough to keep it going he will not be there for long. But if he can do something on the cheap(once again compared to having a plant online and not selling all they can make) like pre-sell a lot of cars, then he has a better chance of having a fast start when he does release a car, and with all those pre-sells getting out there so fast he will get some whiplash going off of the exposure and word of mouth.
That that is pure genius..or just the understanding that I never thought of until I saw what was on the board of directors. I guess they may not be geniuses like me, cuz they live, and have lived in that world, so that is just common sense to them. They know that if they didn't have all these cars sold before they started making them then they'd have to open a plant and pay people to stand around, and also somehow fend off the rumors and negative comments while trying to get the ball rolling. This here, this is smart. We will get our cars lickety-split. And we will be a huge sales force generated overnight.
Sales of a product this big grow exponentially...if ol Elio opened a plant and a few hundred people got cars then the exponential growth would be too small in the beginning, this way they get to start off with a large number and have exponential growth from that...
I could be wrong, but I figure stuff out pretty good sometimes, and the little itty-bitty bit of money, even 50,000 all in at $1000 wouldn't amount to jack squat when it came down to what he needs to get this started...but it can pay for the sales crew to go out there and generate a large enough number of pre-sales to make the kick-off be a huge success and the growth from that is what they are banking on.
