Sorry, I couldn't do better collecting and reporting this info. The last two times I've gone to a showing, I've been a bit sick. I'm actually not sick all that often so it's a bit frustrating to have that occur once again. There were not a lot of us current 'all-in' people there, so I'm glad to have went.

Not a problem. Your post on the resubmission got me curious. I found it on the secdatabase site:
http://www.secdatabase.com/CIK/1531266/Company-Name/ELIO-MOTORS-INC.
120 pages, submitted on October 21st.
OK, so possibly he was indeed talking about the 1-A/A submission on 10/21? Interesting. What ever it was, EM, EO and everyone else is at the edge of their seats waiting for this.

If you are the person that was taking a picture of the Elio engine poster and we were talking to Jerome at the same time, I was the INSIGHTER that had brought along a group of 10 fellow INSIGHTERS to see the ELIO.
I spent most of the time there answering questions from the INSIGHTERS and talked to Jerome briefly. The females (Elio staff) didn't give much new information. The two male reps are new. I didn't recognize them, over the past 4 times I've seen the Elio.
The rear hatch may be "Coil Spring" operated. "The left rear wheel cover will be on a hinge." There is "no concern" about the exhaust pipe exiting the side of the vehicle near the gas filler location. It will be about 6" in front of and well below the filler cap. (Min. Heat). My conclusion also. I tried to get info on the tire and all was said is that it will be a 15" wheel.
I saw that they are already missing two of the set allen screws for the front fenders. Seems to me they should be a little bit bigger in size due to the way the fenders are held on.
No solid info on the front hood hatch pins, etc.
I informed one of the females that if Cooper is the tire supplier, that did make, at one time, a LRR tire that was good for about a 5% better mileage, but in a 14" size. She wasn't familiar on that. We need better information on the tire and wheel size. 4 lug vs. 5 lug etc. Alum or steel? (Is the tire size a 135?) Maybe we can get better clarification on that.
The ignition will be a "Crank Fire" system. No Distributor. Sensors for the crank and cam. A coil per cylinder will be used. (Similar to what my INSIGHT uses.)
When questioned about insulation, Jerome said that that is still being questioned. We both agreed that styrofoam (sp) could be a good choice.
Good when used in NASCAR, good enough for me. They won't be using the "Spray" foam type insulation.
The front seat reclines WAY BACK, good for sleeping in the vehicle. I tested that. Very comfortable. The largest INSIGHTER we had along was around 6-3 and 260 pounds. He felt comfortable in the drivers seat.

Our "Caravan" from SD/LA areas averaged 57-62 mpg for the viewing, running at a consistent 75-80 mph. on I-10. Around 360 miles.

Hi, thanks for all that. I was definitely a little out of it. Glad I met you there. I did not interact with people as much as usual, and had to exit a little early. How many current reservation holders do you think showed up in total, (with or without their shirts)?
If reservations are in the way of the large fleet deliveries, I believe at some point Elio Motors will stop taking reservations and will instead start taking "requests". A request would not have any commitment on when their vehicle would be produced. Thus Elio Motors can concentrate on the more "sporatic" fleet deliveries and use the requests as filler. That is, build the "request" vehicles between the large fleet builds and thus no time is wasted. The requests would be used as filler.
I have an email from Elio Motors saying they would notify when reservations are about to end. I hope they live up to their word. They can notify only the reservation holders if they are afraid of a large landslide of reservations coming in.
