Hi gang, I was able to finally see, touch, taste, and sit in the P4 this past weekend, specifically Saturday July 25. Really enjoyed seeing it. Also was able to meet PeteinKC and his wife Janet, and that was cool!
Vehicle was pretty much what I expected, I'm a self-proclaimed Elio nerd and I told the tour folks as much.
So I don't have a lot of new information for you. In talking with Jermaine, he did mention that he'd driven the P4 into a drive-thru at a restaurant, and he said he simply swung it in and cranked the wheels a bit, and he was able to reach to the window just fine. He said he also had seven restaurant employees poking their head out of the window to get a look at his ride.
The back seat on the P4 is indeed quite small, even for me at 5'7". But as most of us know, more head room is coming.
As I sat in driver's seat, I was able to confirm that the front wheel fenders are easily visible, so driving and worrying about the wheels "sticking out" will be gone after a few days, maybe even hours.
First thing that struck me, as I walked up to the familiar metallic frame, is why they aren't selling shirts at these events. That would help get the word out even more. The line moved fairly well, I know Pete said there were times for him it didn't. At any one time there was probably 40-50 people in line, with 20 people looking from the 2nd floor above.
Pictures coming soon.
