P5

[JP]

Sorry guys but this is all a big misunderstanding. Straight from Elio VP Jerome Vassallo himself the news is that the P4 will be the vehicle at SEMA.

I have not even had a chance to listen to the interview yet as I happened to be in Birmingham today visiting the with the tour team again and I actually had no idea this whole interview and controversy had even come up on here and on Facebook until Jerome himself mentioned it as we were chatting today.

I was excited but the tech talks have been saying the engine won't be done for another moth or so so I'd think they'd want to release the final model with the production engine

In the same interview he says engine on a dyno by November 15th

Glad we got that all straightened out.
Where are we on the tranny(s)?

Not sure if this is a topic yet. I heard on Facebook that a new version will be revealed on the 31st. True or not.?

Sorry, not true. We have been informed, by our monitors/

I did not think it could be....

Is there a 12v socket in it already? I would have thought that would have been already thought of. Guess I never thought to ask!

Goofyone has stated that there will be two installed.

I like what it is now. In fact, want it now Paul, please!!!!!!!!!!

I could USE my Elio now. I WANT my Elio after they have a functional engine that will be tested to destruction, final specs determined, tolerances and fit confirmed, complete units crash tested, and so on. Oh, and hire and train people to build and QC them. For those reasons, I'm willing to wait.

Not the P5 but supposedly some big announcements that day and the following week at SEMA. :-) Z

This is a $6,800 car, name a car with shift buttons in this price range.

The 1956 Plymouth Savoy price was $2200 and had the shift buttons you request available with the automatic transmission option.
