Elio's time has come again?

[Rickb]

We are talking about how a gold Elio will get Trump to fund it. Since Aptera already has got a gold version of the Elio, then Trump will fund it. Why bringing up the headroom and seat is beyond me. Gold three wheeler is what funds projects. Headroom, looks like that's another issue they can fix down the road. Maybe, Arcimoto should have made a gold FUV and that would fund full enclosure, climate control, full service network and RAMP that would bring it down to $11,900. That would have been cheaper for us taxpayers to pay for as the FUV was already across the production finish line and fully certified. Adding a few bits would have cost pennies as compared to everyone else.

There's still time for Arcimoto to do this as Aptera is not in production and not certified by the US Government.

My thought was tRump and his MAGA Base should be able to get in and out of ANY Gold Three Wheeler (GTW) and drive it in relative comfort to fund it and or buy one.

Both Elio and Arcimoto are dead to me. Although the FUV was very comfortable and a blast to drive. if the FUV rises from the dead I will buy one from a local sales and servicing Dealer.

All these other 3 wheelers are just toys to me. One person only, no trunk space, no A/C, etc.... The Elio is the only one that made since as a practical vehicle. It was not perfect, but close. Make it electric, add a second door on the other side in the rear and raise the height of the trunk a little for more room, and I would jump to buy one.

At 4'9.5, I don't care about head room. A little height in the trunk would come in handy cause I might be living in a vehicle some day and will need it for storage, lol. I love

If the trunk is too small to bring home a load of groceries and you have to use your other car, then what good would an Elio be just setting in the garage? p.s. You sure are cute!

Hari lyer. The guy who was Pauls Partner in Elio Engineering in 2001. Same Hari that was the head of engineering for V-Vehicle and Next Autoworks all while he was running Elio Engineering with Paul. Same Hari that got onto the BoD of Elio Motors. Same Hari that we covered here many times. He did not fund Elio Motors. He worked with Paul to get that funding.

As for Stu, he just offered Paul the opportunity to lease the plant and get a $26M loan on the equipment inside. Stu is not to blame at all. He just presented the chance for Paul and company to make a go of it. Since he never worked out, it's not his fault.

By the way, Hari is still partners with Paul Elio in Elio Engineering today. This is why public records confirm this.

THANK YOU.

If you’re going to live in a vehicle someday, consider this option.

Elio made a 4 wheeler? When did this happen? I've looked everywhere for that red 4 wheeler but can't find it. Who knew that this site missed that completely.

4'9" works. My mom got down to 4'5" the older she got. So, she ended up getting something smaller to drive just because of her size.

So, I am not impersonating another woman, like the um.. ladies at the DMV office accuse me of doing, last Thursday. Quote: Nobody can lose thirty pounds and two inches of height in four years. I DID! I always get a hassle at that office. Started twenty years ago, when first moved to this county, I got married and changed my name. And again, when I dropped my CDL. I didn't want to spend the extra money to renew it. OH BOY, they did it again when I tried to get my veteran's indorsement. They ended up sending me the wrong Vietnam veteran plates. There is two different kinds, one for combat veterans and the other for Vietnam era, in Ohio plates. OH, I slapped those plates on my car, and I have been using the stolen valor ever since. When those um..ladies demanded I take off my head band and show my hair line, I demanded my money back and went to another office out in Warren Ohio. I believe that is what I had to do the other times. Ya, I ain't taking no shit. Not at this age.
