"......... ,small print and written in Canadian"
Ok, I'll play along, what language in Canadian?
I could have sworn they spoke and wrote in English; I mean their language sounds the same as ours, except for a few words that they use differently and what they call certain things, but my wife is Canadian, and we get along without a translator.
So just what are you talking about ey?

No, Coss. They say things like zed and eay. They wear tuks and mufflers are for yer ears, don't ya know. Unless your in Canekistan, then it's the queens French, and in Beavers we trust. Keep yer stick on the ice!

Speaking of the Elio. I read somewhere (I can't find it) that they were going to show it some place in Pontiac, MI I think. That would prove that they still have some people with it somewhere. And these people could be asked questions about it. Better than a form letter anyhow:becky:.

Okay,
It was Pontiac and from the flurry of answers on Facebook by Elio I gleaned -- that only us reservation holders will get our vehicles in 2018 that is the 65000 folks that made the cut. The rest will get theirs in 2019 from the stores. So I guess it is still on for next year they are saying.

I sent a message to Elio asking if they thought that I would receive my Elio by the time that I turned 80, which is Feb. 27, 2019. I am really anxious to see their response . I will post it.

I THOUGHT I'D SEND ELIO A MESSAGE JUST TO SEE IF I WOULD GET A RESPONSE. I ASKED THEM THIS WISEACRE QUESTION ON SATURDAY. THEY ACTUALLY SENT A RESPONSE TODAY. ATLEAST SOMEONE IS READING THE MAIL:

Thanks for the email JT. Paul is spending all of his time working on funding and making the company move forward and is limited as to what he can say publicly as a publicly traded company. We will continue to share progress and keep you in the loop as to all things Elio.

I'm sorry to say that I doubt Elio will ever go into production. Where is Paul Elio? Why doesn't he make any statements as to the health of his company?

Thanks for sharing. I understand your doubt. High Finance = High Anxiety. Paul still has a pocket full of quarters, keep your fingers crossed. JACKPOT!

Hope & crossing fingers are not successful business strategies ...

Meeting...or exceeding promised product development deadlines is the hallmark of a successful business startup...

Additionally... not being able to raise & provide necessary business capital in a timely matter is recipe for certain failure...
Are we talking selling hot dogs and pizza, or starting a new transportation company ?
The Elio is no ordinary business startup.

Actually... all business startup's are the same...

You have to have a fully validated product...

Than it's necessary to obtain adequate funding to go into production...

If you are fortunate enough to reach production & distribution... the paying consumers will determine the fate of your efforts...

Unfortunately...Paul did neither...
I disagree. SpaceX rocket kinda hard to validate until launch. Elio autocycle, kinda hard to validate until launch.
Transportation, Biotech, etc, can only be validated after launch, not lunch.

They've been soliciting funding for years...the most logical conclusion is...Paul does not have a viable or profitable business model...
That's quite the statement. There are quite a few alternative reasons that funding may be hard to come by. I assume you rigorously eliminated all other options before you came to that conclusion ... logically.
