Interesting read:

http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/tag/elio-motors/

Despite its somber tone, I did rather like this part of the article:

"It may be time for an Elio Motors Death Watch, but it won’t be because Paul Elio is a scam artist.

Instead, Paul and his associates, for all their previous experience in the auto industry, may have simply failed to accurately estimate how long it was going to take to develop their vehicle, and how much money it was going to take to get it to series production.

One could understand it if Paul Elio threw in the towel, but he’s not giving up on his three-wheeled dream just yet."

You probably didn't mean this, but linking to Rick Astley's video -- which some would argue is the genesis of "Rickrolling" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickrolling) and "clickbaiting" -- is somewhat ironic since the Elio has been accused numerous times of being a scam.

I saw the opportunity to rickroll and I took it. But rickrolling and clickbaiting are entirely different things with entirely seperate origin stories :)
