Elio Addict
March,2014 at th Knoxville, Tn Airport. Made sure I could fit in it and get in and out of it before donated my $1,000. Plus the show was about 5 minutes from where I work. I would have traveled farther if necessary.

I drive an F-350 so there wasn't quite THAT much room but I didn't feel too close to either side or the ceiling. I didn't sit in the back though.I saw a Elio for the first time in Jacksonville at a mall last September. It was huge inside sitting in the drivers seat. My inseam is 30" so if and when there's a passenger in the back they would have room as well. In a lot of cars my hair is saying hello to the ceiling fabric. Delightfully not so in the Elio, plenty of headroom.
>Seriously cool vehicle. A unique piece of US automotive history. This all factory HMV (High Mileage Vehicle) Freeway was made in Minnesota in 1981 as part of an enterprise to prove 100mpg was possible and practical. Unfortunately insufficient startup funding combined with falling gas prices bankrupted the operation after making around 700.
This is my fear of Elio. At my work picnic a guy commented on my Elio shirt saying he isn't a reservation holder, but is hoping it comes out as it is ideal for his commute each day. So with folks like him, hopefully what happened with HMV won't happen with Elio. Only time will tell.
-Ditto-!...
EVEN WITH ALL OF IT's SHORTCOMINGS & HIGH PRICE , WHAT REALLY SOLD THE FREEWAY
WAS IT's REMARKABLE CONCEPT . THE HIGH EFFICIENCY 3 WHEEL COMMUTER CAR .
I HAVE LONG HELD THAT DONE RIGHT , THIS COULD BE A BIG WINNER OF NOT A WORLD CHANGER .
FOR MANY YEARS I HAVE WANTED TO SEE MODERN TECHNOLOGY ALONG WITH GOOD
SAFETY FEATURES & CREATURE COMFORT IN AN AUTOCYCLE PACKAGE . ...
FROM WHAT I CAN SEE , ELIO IS DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT THAT HMV GOT WRONG .
IF THEY CAN MAKE IT TO PRODUCTION , I KNOW IT WILL BE A HUGE SUCCESS .
Yup, 50-60k Elios in the HOV
lanes of USA....a no brainer!
Go Elio!
