I just paid a visit to elioclub.org. Question: Does anyone else find their posts as confusing, complicated, incomprehensible and just plain goofy as I do?

No real organization, threads are all over the place, can't tell if many posts are serious or just a sick joke. What's wrong with those people?

Comments?

Oh. Sorry. I just saw a post that had the same heading over there done one hour before you posted here... I assumed.. I'm an ass. Sorry.

Hi Ty, I missed it. Think the main thing that bothered me (beside what I already mentioned) was the overwhelming since of doom and gloom. According to those guys we're all....

True. I'm tired of people saying "it's a scam" "Elio lied" etc when what they really mean is "Elio isn't meeting my personal requirements and I'm impatient so I'll sew discontent among people who are patient and who understand that NO ONE ON THE PLANET HAS BUILT A CAR COMPANY FASTER THAN ELIO IS."

While we're at it, here's something else I just thought of. Over there I saw a series of posts about Elio going into production this year... maybe as early as September. They don't source the info other than to say it was an Elio Motors "announcment". Problem is the posts started on April 1... April fools day. I don't want to seem slow, but I can't tell if this is fact of BS. I suspect the later. Anyone know anything about this?

When they were securing the GM Plant, they were planning on being in production September 2014, I think. That slipped to September 2015 and then quickly slipped to first part of 2016. It has to be hard estimating date of production especially when so much of the project can be completed in a couple of months. If they had the money, they could produce the vehicles as soon as parts suppliers can pump out Elio parts. Elio isn't as much a producer as an assembler. I think what you are seeing is old stuff rehashed. There hasn't been much on the Elio front in a couple of months. I went by the plant in May and there isn't anything external there to indicate Elio is involved either. I wouldn't expect them to have much out and maybe they have larger plans for after they secure funding and have a more solid production schedule.
