It's Official . Paul Has Let Me Down

[DAVID BROWER]

I GOT IN LINE FOR AN ELIO BECAUSE I NEEDED A CAR TO COMMUTE IN .

WHILE I WAS WAITING , I WAS LAID OFF FROM MY JOB AND DIDN'T NEED
TO COMMUTE ANYWHERE FOR AWHILE . I SOLD MY BMW 318ti .

MY WIFE HAD A HEART TRANSPLANT IN NOV, 2015 & MY JOB WAS TO CARE FOR HER
FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS . SHE IS DOING GREAT NOW .

I HAVE KEPT AFLOAT ALL THIS TIME BY WORKING OUT OF MY HOME SHOP
2 1/3 YEARS OF UNEMPLOYMENT IS LONG ENOUGH . IT's TIME TO GO BACK TO WORK .
I THOUGHT SURELY I WOULD HAVE MY ELIO BY 2018 !

I FOUND A JOB AND WILL BE DRIVING 30 MILES TO WORK 5 DAYS A WEEK STARTING
AT THE END OF THE MONTH .

BEEN COOLING MY HEELS FOR AWHILE BUT I REALLY NEED ELIO TO GET
THE CARS ROLLING OFF THE LINE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE . ANY TIME NOW ...........

Glad to hear your wife has recovered so well and congrats on your new job.

In my situation, I wanted it delayed a bit (from when I first signed up) till I got my pad paid for. But now its long paid for, and no Elio in sight.

It definitely is a let down....but not by Paul. He did everything in HIS POWER to sell his ELIO idea to the general public and even came up with a FEW prototypes to show with much success. Now the power is in the hands of the investors willing to see the project through.

 

[Elio Amazed]

That's good to hear David (other than no Elio)!

The money you would have placed in your Elio went towards your wife's recovery. Paul is amazing to assist you in so many ways.

David ,your a good man .
The chances of Elio in 2018 are very slim (but someday)

Wonder how I can change my user name from "Trusting" to "Dumb Ass"?

Best Laugh I've had all day...
And fortunately I've had a few today.

I would say we have all been let down. Now, I'm not the world's greatest business man by a long shot. All though, I went into business for myself about a year after collage and retired when I was 57....Not rich, but comfortable. Anyway, as I see it the problem must be with Paul. The product has proven it will sell and it "could" be a good investment. I can only suspect that Paul doesn't want to give the potential investors what they want. People with the kind of money he needs didn't get all that money by making bad deals. He's going to have to give up a lot in the way of shares in the company and power to get them on board. If I were him I would rather own 10% of Elio Motors that is building cars, that own 100% of Elio Motors that is kaput.
