I'm one of the new ones and u guys r fun.

Hi and welcome from Oregon Triggs. I'm so glad you have joined us. We women are definitely out numbered so the more the better. I'm sorry you missed seeing the Elio when it was Phoenix. I get to see it in July when it gets to Portland. I can't wait. Enjoy your time on this forum. There is lots of knowledge, discussion, ideas, pictures, videos and stories all related to Elio and even some that aren't. We have a wait to Elio production so make the journey as pleasurable as possible by joining in. Next year in my Elio! :-) Z

We try. Sometimes debates can get a bit intense but if we avoid name calling and the chicken little syndrome, it can be quite fun... fun, and a little addictive. Welcome to the forum and enjoy your time here.

ive been out numbered in most everything ive done all my life,raced bikes as a kid, the boys didnt like that till they decided i was just like them,have been in the welding field and there are not many women that do that either, also i'm a blacksmith, bet you don't here that much, so being out numbered is ok they all ways decide we are all after the same goal live life and be happy, thats why when i found out about this Eilo it sounded like fun so i thought why not.

HeyTriggs,
Welcome! I like folks that aren't confined to, or confine themselves to, a box. My Grandmother did things that others said she couldn't do. I learned a lot from her. I have been learning a lot from folks here, too. Overall a good group.

We are now over 1200 members. When I went to bed last night we were at 1199 and this morning we are at 1202. Go Elio and Go elioowners.com! LOL :-) Z

And over 19000 have made a deposit on one. From some of the posts made here we don't seem to have half of them here.

Just came from elioowners.com , where postings of the recent past include a couple of disillusioned future
customers. It's obvious these folks have never followed the development of a new vehicle, such as the
development of the Tesla Model S, which I diligently followed on their website for more than a year. And
Tesla's Musk had a billion dollars to play with that Paul Elio doesn't have.He spent a ton more money developing
their electric car, and virtually everything he promised turned out to be a lie : the price, the driving range, the
battery recharge times, the maintenance costs, the car's indirect emissions, you name it. He was given hundreds
of millions by the Feds and got $25,000 per car he produced from other automakers because they didn't have an
electric and did business in California. Musk is now a big hero for the Greenies, but after doing some calculations I
discovered that in highway driving the Tesla Model S will be reponsible for three times more emissions
than the Elio per mile. Around town driving shows the Tesla producing at least 50% more emissions.
In terms of money from the Feds ($7500 tax credit to each Tesla owner) the Elio achieves
30 times larger a reduction in emissions than the Tesla, per dollar spent.

Welcome to the family, & thanks for those figures. I am sure EM has learned from the mistakes made by others, including Aptera. EM seems to be made from a group of seasoned veterans of the automotive industry & committed to the team effort required to make this (to quote Jim H) History making vehicle!

Musk is now a big hero for the Greenies, ....

I love the term greenies. I use it all the time and most folks haven't a clue what I'm talking about. Then again, maybe that has something to do with me and not to greenies.
