Needless to say, your post gave me a momentary panic attack since my current vehicle is a loaner that I must return early next year. Wait more than two more years for my Elio? Say it ain't so!
So, I went to the Elio Motors website FAQ to confirm the facts. Namely: "We are limiting reservations to our first year estimated capacity so that everyone that reserves a vehicle will have one in the first year." So, unless Elio changed their own rules, I think your second statement needs a little adjustment.
That is interesting Ty,Even at the $100 refundable level, direct from the Elio reservation site:
Quick Overview
Have no fear, you will receive your Elio within the first year of production.

You are absolutely correct, now watch the first one roll off the line at 11:59 PM 12/31/2014, I'de sure like to have mine sooner, but not if it means having to look at steel boobs each and every time I drive. Jerome told me it was digital, and apx the number size. BUT if what I am seeing, in their illustrations, is what they call digital, and it COULD roughly be construed as such, I don't like it and they better get somebody on the stick to photograph the real thing, or I am going to go to the NHTSB twith the piece of cral they call a dash.Caveat: ist year of production could mean Dec. of 2015 through Dec. of 2016.
Not to be a downer but that is what it means...........![]()
Snipped: BUT if what I am seeing, in their illustrations, is what they call digital, and it COULD roughly be construed as such, .
IF it is truly digital, It will likely have what is known as "firmware" within the modules for display, This code is burned into a chip and cannot be changed. At some point in time someone may hack the chip and replace the code on a new chip with their own code. Besides having the knowledge to effect those changes it would require hardware to implement the changes.H2odog, if it is truly digital shouldn't it be an APP or sofware change thing to get what
we non-elginalites want, your an IT guy, it should be childs play, or playstation play,
or sum such...............![]()
I love the dash as long as it's attached to a functioning Elio! Until I can finance a seat on their board I will go with whatever they offer. Just get it done!
Even if what they offer is an endangerment? I am not saying that it is, only that I believe it to be. I want it safety certified. Paul has had some very great ideas, but this is pure vanity!I love the dash as long as it's attached to a functioning Elio!
