Month 2 And Clock Is Ticking

[Rickb]

There is an experienced auto manufacturing labor force in Shreveport ready to work..........just get them to work manufacturing Elio's..............union or non-union...........and simply treat the employees fairly for a hard days work.

In the words of a Cylon trooper from the old "Battlestar Galactica" ..... By your command......

and a little bit more (which also explains why COMAU is doing the line setup)

and a little about programming

Hope this is useful to you and explains why COMAU will be setting up the plant and why it makes no sense to hire people until Elio gets the word from COMAU.

Oh man, the old Battlestar Galactica, now THAT is a blast from the past! Very cool.

I always wanted so much to give that show a chance to be good, but the special effects, acting, the storyline... just not quite there. Parts of it were good, such as the launch of a fighter out of the big ship. Lorne Green was good in it.

The reboot on Sci-Fi was fantastic, completely not what I expected it to be, if you haven't seen it you should.

So February 2017 start of production? What happened to starting in 2016? Pretty soon I'll be too old to want to drive this thing...

I hope they do, "How It's Made: Three-Wheeled, High Mileage Vehicles."

They did the T-Rex, I think. And the Morgan.

Is the UAW present in other motorcycle companies? If not, what would be their interest in this one?

A few years ago I took a tour of a Harley Davidson factory.
It was a union shop

I believe Paul Elio said verbally, they would pay union wages. I am not certain of this.

And if you read Rickb's reply right after that entry, he corrects him back to Q4 2016
I don't know who it is that keeps saying it's in 2017 but that's wrong according to Elio Motors.
I have to believe EM more than a rumor started by someone that has no clue.

They did the T-Rex, I think. And the Morgan.

Neither of which are high mileage.

How's it built will show the Aerial Atom next Thursday.
