New Guesstimated Price

[Craig]

I think it would be CRAZY to charge $750 if you picked it up at the factory -
after all, as soon as you're ~ 30 miles from there you're now the Elio ADvertising and Marketing Dept rolling down the road

Also, not paying that $750 would help me justify flying there, paying for motels and food on the way home...

All true. However, it'd be really neat if the factory visit included getting to watch your Elio come down the line. Seeing that would make the trip worth it. You would be able to say "Yeah, I saw this one come off the line and drove it home from the factory itself."

Maybe they could toss in a Elio endorsed Elgin watch!!!!!

LMFAO!

Ok, let's wait and see if this comes to pass. If it is repeated again let's tell Elio how we have planed the plant visit and the drive home but he has ruined our plans if we have to pay delivery charges just to drive down there.

I was planning to pick mine up; I'm glad EM is at least not planning to shove me out as soon as I get there.

Ok, the delivery fee is probably a fact but not exactly in stone.I mentioned a lot of the forum members had plans for a road trip to come to the plant but just add more money to make the trip not worth it. Transmission was stated to be the same in auto or standard, the auto just uses a solenoid to shift for you. ???? It was mostly the same rhetoric with nothing new here . I also made a mistake in posting awhile back that they had an engine. They do not have any engine except for the mock up you see in the pictures. Sorry for that error. The Elio owners I talked to knew nothing about the shipping charges, and were surprised about the extra cost. The Oklahoma post was much more rewarding to read than being in Dallas. I took one picture of the Elio owners that had a T shirt on. I will post it here so someone might recognize themselves. No new news from me sorry to say.

That's only 30 days after number one rolls off.

I thought the first ones would be built in 1st quarter 2015
