You are not just a troll, you are an ignorant troll.

Agreed.

Waste of time responding to this guy.

No Forum is immune to Trouble making Trolls

Best to just ignore him till he can be taken care of.

How has ELIO been able to avoid any serious legal repercussions from soliciting funds, from depositors and investors, using dates for production that are years behind. Seems like at some point, they crossed the line from knowing they were unable to meet those target dates to not given a rat's behind that they never could make any of the dates given when soliciting funds. At some point money changed hands using misrepresentation. Given that they gave dates that were never achievable targets it would seem so. Or am I wrong that they could have produced the vehicle and are just having some fun, delaying the production start, to create drama?

Hindsight is 20 20. Foresight? Not so much. Get over it. It's a startup and optimism is not the same thing as misrepresentation.

He's gone, so no further comments about his dialog are necessary.

Well we don't actually know if the fender broke, or it was just loose and bounced off. IIRR, the photo after the video showed the mounting "stubs" on the wheel were still there.

I thought overall the review was positive. It is interesting he mentioned rattling noise coming from the fenders, before it happened.

Nice bit by R&T; classy and understanding, just what I have come to know from them over the years.

I like it when he said it drove better than the Morgan.(Probably suspension wise)

I was concerned that the ride seemed very rough until I noticed that the camera seemed to jerk around even when the Elio was stopped.

The fender is a simple fix, don't sweat it. The brake and gas being far apart is on the other hand. I have small feet .

Ok, everyone start practicing the reasons why it happened:
1) It's a Prototype
2) Whoever put it on hadn't done it after they were doing some earlier tests
3) Terrorist took the bolts out to hide something and ran out of time
4) The test driver hit something before they started filming
5) Gremlins
6) It's a feature and we were testing it
7)

<I ran out of excuses>

Terroristic gremlins?
