Because it would do nothing. They are not interested in anything but mouse clicks.

This is their business model:
1. Get a website and write click-baity half-truth things on teh Intarwebz.
2. Sell ads.
3. Profit!

Heck, Coss, why waste the energy?

The late Robert Heinlein had a wonderful line: "Never attempt to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time, and annoys the pig."

I didn't say I was going to do it ....... said "someone should" (aka anyone but me)

Obviously saved for the Elio museum.

From the same article: http://www.eliomotors.com/facts-from-fiction-1-12-18-15/

The windshield wiper doesn’t work on P3/P4/P5:

Um, no, it doesn’t. The reason? Because we don’t want it to work on the prototypes. We have talked about this forever mostly at each tour stop. We don’t want a handmade one-of-a kind prototype, the one that we take around the country to share the experience with thousands of people, driving in the rain. Too much risk for such an important piece of our company, don’t you think? The Elio gets so much attention when it is out on the road that people do some crazy things while driving to get close to it. Adding rain to the equation is just silly. Additionally, the windows are hand formed Plexiglas and a wiper going back and forth across it would scratch the surface (yes, the production vehicle will have automotive glass, by Guardian). The final Elio will have a working windshield wiper for which the engineers have designed a successful solution.
