Feeling Better

Now that I have seen the Fox and Friends spot, I say not as much info as I wanted but good to know the service location problem solved. This and the sales sites network map were a are a big leap forward. This shows (to me) the commitment Elio is making. This is not to say I did not believe before but now it is in print and video.

Absolutely agree and I hope all Pep Boy locations will soon have Elio posters displayed in their stores

I watched the fox news report on elio, it was so lame. paul couldn't get a lengthy word in about the car, I thought the two news reporters were indirectly rude
not a very good advertisement for Elio! Glad to hear about pep boys

Three Wheels/84MPG/$6,800/5 star, that was enough to get me.

In my opinion any free advertising is good. Just more exposure.

I agree Tom! Paul barely got a word in edgewise and the reporters thought the car was a laugh.. At least this was my take on this..

Another thing I needed to hear was if my number came up and my car was not off lease yet. Could Elio hold my place until I am ready? Got my answer today in email.

To our Elio Supporters:

Consumer demand for the Elio has accelerated dramatically during the first five months of 2014. Reservations have increased 170 percent since the beginning of the year, and continue at an impressive pace.

It is gratifying to see the public enthusiasm for a vehicle that will achieve 84 mpg on the highway and cost $6,800. Our nation needs the Elio, as evidenced by the thousands of potential drivers who are lining up at events across the country just to sit in the vehicle.

The Elio is a transportation bridge to the future, and we intend to produce the vehicle in a state-of-the-art plant. We have assessed the equipment needs of our plant in Shreveport, La., and expect to be prepared for production in the third quarter of 2015. This is a few months later than anticipated, with the delay tied to the evaluation of the plant as well as the timely closing of financing commitments. We are moving forward, and are excited about the progress we expect throughout the rest of 2014 and early 2015.

As I tour the country and see the reaction to the Elio, what is perhaps most impressive is the passion you, the Elio fans, have for our new vehicle. Your support for our vision and the Elio is invaluable to our ability to produce a vehicle that will be the talk of the town, create American jobs, help bring back manufacturing in our country, cut energy costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect the environment.

Look for more updates from me as Elio Motors’ momentum continues to build in the coming months.

Paul
