Options And Upgrades, Cruise Control, Etc...

[NSTG8R]

I was caught in a line of 12 cars in northern California the same way. It DOES happen.

Luckily, Midwest police hate paperwork. Then again, there are some small towns out here that absolutely depend on the money they get from writing speeding tickets to out-of-towners just passing through....no exaggeration!

What's the topic? Oh yeah...options and upgrades. Okay, I want a HUD with a built-in radar detector for when I travel to Maryland, Georgia, North Carolina or California. By the way Jim H, I was stationed out in San Diego back in the day....LOVE that So. Cal. weather!

Weather is fantastic, scenery is wonderful but politics and taxes drove me out of California

50 caliber paint balls. That's the answer!

Yeah! Texters and jaywalkers with bad timing...hehehe. Oh, I forgot the people that pull out in front of you, making you disengage the cruise control, when there's nothing but clear road behind you...Yep, them too!

Well by "So. Cal", I meant, "Socialist California". Sorry...had to say [type] it. Moderators, please delete if anyone is offended.

From what I understand cruise control will be included, at least as an option.

From what I gather, it will be. Being basically an economical single passenger 'commuter' car, cruise control, I'd hope, would be standard. But if the upgrade seems a little out of line cost-wise to me, there's plenty of DIY aftermarket kits to be had. One way or another, I'm having one. In fact, wouldn't buy a vehicle that didn't have it.

Here ya go! Only $58.99 and displays all the pertinent info. Already added one to the my list of Elio goodies!

I like this! Next we'll need motion detectors just to gently notify us of vehicles that are blocking our alternate lane changes both time and motion warnings in that zone. (I try to do this visually in my rear view mirrors at all times. Especially in thick traffic.)

I am with you. We all like to personalize our cars, but keeping the cost down will be important to all. I would like many options to be available as time and money allow. However, I would like them approved by Elio Motors before they can be installed. This would insure that the accessories are compatible with the vehicle and insure some type of quality assurance. I want a flame paint job.

But all of these options can be available in their brick-and-mortar stores without raising the costs to others who don't want upgrades, right?

Good one Folks! If I knew anything about, well...anything electronics-wise, I'd be all over this. Gotta find some smarter people than me to make this kind of thing happen. Any electronic/techo wizards on the forum?

I will take issue that more descriptive would be to say, "Socialist Republic of CA".

I stand corrected!
