Friday blog today :)
What are you whispering? :)
Remains to be seen ... I would not bet against ELIO.
I wouldn't bet against Elio either, because it would be incentive to hope for failure. I wouldn't bet on Elio either because I don't gamble on high risk ventures. Elio is long past their best shot at production, has no validated vehicle after nearly a decade of successful marketing and fundraising, faces a pissed off Caddo Parrish and 63,500 disappointed reservationists. :(

One thing I keep reading "no validated vehicle". Well in a black and white legal definition, this is true, but. In the real world where most stuff is gray. The Elio is closer to production today than it was, even a year ago when the E1C was at Detroit.
Maybe folks typing, will start typing, " a mostly ready for production vehicle", but I doubt it.

It's not "mostly" ready for production though. They produced 1/8 the number of validation vehicles they claimed were required... Even if we were being generous, there is no definition whereby completing ~15% of the project allows you to claim that it's "mostly done."

Elio said that they have spent $62M so far and need another $85M to finish the car. Think of it this way, if you have a $200K budget to build a new house but have spent $90K so far, that’s still pretty far from complete. For elio, they are not even 50% complete. That’s directly from Elio too.

Maybe they could cut the 85mil to 10 mil by not using ESG Engineering
