And that's true; when this board first started, EM had identified member here. In other words there were members that ID'd themselves as working for EM. Once they did, they were under siege with questions from everyone here, and at times, it got almost ugly.
So they quit, and let us know they quit quite clearly, and said they would not come back. For a while, that held true. Over time the members from here would approach them at the tour stops, and through emails, tell the people from EM that they were members at EO.
When it became clear to EM that we were a knowledgeable group, and not just a group of trolls; we know they look in here to follow the topics that are the "lead" items we're talking about. Now we do not know if they stop in as guests, or if they're members "undercover" (they have not told us).
They could be members, and just not let anyone know that they actually work for EM; this way they can join into the discussions, and not get cornered by others and questioned.
Does that make my statements easier to understand now?
But did you get anything out of the book?How to win friends and influence people. Standard reading when I started working for a staffing company.

I'm still not sure what to think, because I've heard you can catch quite a few with a load of crap too.

Today's news seems to validate ELIO confidence. Rick Perry doing due diligence on ATVM Program if confirmed and Peter Brock (Corvette Stingray, Shelby Mustang) just wrote a wonderful article about Elio's E1C test drive...Hint, made a reservation...Feel free to Wikipedia or Google the automotive savant

I think that's where the flies get separated out from the bees. lolI'm still not sure what to think, because I've heard you can catch quite a few with a load of crap too.
I sure did. It shaped how I deal with people.
Amazing how a book written in 1936 still applies to the world today; who said people change.

Hate to say "Wrong" using my best Trump voice, but you're incorrect. If Elio did not need "further government loans for operating capital" we'd have Elios running off the assembly line now, and not suffer through yet another delay. As of the 11/18/16, they had $100K in cash for operating capital. That's a far cry from the $185+ million they need to turn on the switch for the manufacturing line.. Future orders are not cash not in hand. They do not have enough funds to complete the final engineering steps, custom manufacturing tooling, nor to open up the retail shops. All of that takes a lot of capital. It takes money to make money.
Elio is not Tesla. Paul is not a multi-billionaire to float the launch like Elon did, nor does he have the over-the-top personality to get investors.
