How Did You Learn About Elio?

[wright4me]

I've notice that many people have been following elio for awhile. I learned about it when it popped up on my facebook a few months ago and have been reading alot of the post to learn more. So I was wondering how eveyone else learned about it.

My wife rides a Can-Am Spyder. We were at the dealership a few weekends back talking with the owner and she was telling us about the expansion they were doing so they could sell the Polaris Slingshot. I was intrigued so I did some Googling on the Slingshot. Mentioned in one of the articles was the Elio so naturally I had know what that was all about. 1 week later I had my 1k All In deposit placed.

It showed up on Bing's "what's trending" homepage. Liked the look of it, loved the mpg and price, and spent the rest of the day investigating it (watched a lot of videos!). Went 1k all-in the following week.

My brother told me about the car last month. I'm not sure that I would have ever known otherwise. I'll have to ask him where he saw it advertised.

I got interested in the failed Aptera car company and googled around to find something like it. Elio seemed more realistic, that was early 2013. I waited over a year and a half later to put any money down though.

I was researching to find the most fuel efficient, car I could realistically afford to buy, (which does not include a $50k dolla hybrid). Somewhere Elio cam up and I became intrigued.

My son wanted to talk to someone about the Elio because he is very interested in owning one. His dad and stepmom weren't interested so he tried me. That was in January, shortly before the P4 was unveiled. A week later I had read and learned more in 1 week than he had read and learned in the previous 2 months. I saved up enough for a $100 All In reservation by March 1. I had enough saved to up to $500 by the time the Elio was in Portland on 7/11 but they wouldn't take cash. I brought the money back home, put it in my account and upped my reservation to $500 on 7/22. Two days later I was told some friends wanted to upgrade me to $1000. It was all done anonymously so I have no idea who they are but I do know they are members here. To say I was stunned is an understatement. In fact I cried. There was no way I could have come up with $500 by 9/1 and the letter announcing that deadline came out a day later. I still get a little emotional just thinking about it. After all, I simply consider myself a friendly little old lady. But the gifts that has brought me have been unimaginable. :-) Z

BTW, my son still does not have a reservation. LOL

I have been looking for an economical, high mileage vehicle for my 90 mile round trip commute for some time. Was considering something used, but could not find anything that met my need. I listen to news radio I. My commute, and I caught the tail end of an interview around June 27 about the Elio and how California lawmakers embraced the concept and would not require a motorcycle endorsement or helmet. I was extremely intrigued by the 84mpg figure mentioned, the ability to reserve one for $100, and I did a google search when I got to work. After researching, I went to make my $100 reservation on the website only to learn that a $1000 reservation secures your spot in line. After a moment of contemplation, I had ordered my $1000 T-shirt.
