I have brought the Elio up with both of my helpers and a couple of the other guys that are doing long distance hauls, and they're very intrigued with the idea of something that would cut the cost of their drive to and from the office, and would be so inexpensive to buy. I can see the idea of this catching on with at least some of us once the car is in production, and one or two start showing up in the company parking lot.
I purely hate spending more on gasoline than I absolutely have to. Being able to cut way back on what I spend on gas and still being able to get where I need and want to be appeals to me immensely,
agree .... Elio Motors is fortunate to have found so many folks who listened to their story and have been willing write checks without any firm assurance that the vehicle will ever be built .... I have no clue just how large the pool of such folks is but it does have its limits .... if/as the company continues to show finite progress, the pool should expand .... once folks see them out on the roads, in parking lots and driveways, interest has to increase .... I think that is one reason it is so important for EM to get it right from the start .... positive or negative reports from earlier users can play a big part in making or breaking the company
