I recall the number 19,000 coming up in discussions about spooling up the first shift to high capacity once production begins. 19,000 Elio's should roll off the line in the first quarter, or three calendar months, after commencement. That encompasses nearly all of the $1000 All-In reservation holders. Full-capacity production was said to be 500/day with one shift or 1000/day with a second shift also at full capacity.

So in theory, if production begins prior to late September 2017, chances are very high that almost every $1000 All-In reservationist would take possession prior to 2018.

I'm not replying, I have a question. It is now November 2016 and the latest production stated is mid 2017. Those of us that only paid one hundred dollars years ago will we see our Elio by 2018? It seems like the people who paid the current all in price will get their Elio first? Then those of us with lower orginal numbers @ $100.00 deposit won't be notified about when the vehicle will be produced until 2018 or 2019?
Next major question: Will Elio provide financing or customers have to to use commercial financing?
Only the $1,000 All-In crowd has production numbers at this time. The rest won't get production numbers till they stop taking reservations? It may not seem fair but it's Elio's way of rewarding the people who are taking the bigger chance. Also, $1,000 All-In provides funds they can use now.

54 seconds. That's the number you really need. The GM line can pop out a vehicle every 54 seconds when it's running.

1x60x60x8/54 What???? What's the second 60 and the 8/54ths ?

I recall them saying 500 per shift per day at peak speed (so 1,000 for 2 shifts)
But your formula is umm confusing.
