Good points. I hadn't seen that link before.
But as you said "Now Trump is kind of a wild card since he doesn't seem to be as lock step with politics as a traditional politician". You're correct. He's not.
In my opinion, that is a plus for Elio.
I go back and read VERY OLD posts on this site, and you, a long time ago would post negatives, and what ifs about Elio on this forum, and then go on a Geo Metro forum bragging about stirring the pot on this one.
I think you've since come around to the concept of Elio, but I still take your comments with a grain of salt. No offense intended.
I sure do like to stir the pot. Can't have everyone following all the orders at one time. That is no fun! I also stir the pot there sometimes.
I have always bee interested on the concept on the car itself. I have not and have no reason to come around on the company though. There were several posts that would say something like "they aren't going to hit their deadline" or "what is the next target they will miss". Then people get fired up and fight back. When the target/deadline/goal wasn't hit, nobody would say anything.
You are saying that you take my comments as a grain of salt yet you said "good point" to my last post....Come on buddy!!!!
I just don't try to spin crap to where it all sounds good for EM. Some people here (not all), look at things with Elio green colored glasses. Time to start looking at things honestly and not the way you want it to seem.

Oh. I did! The GM crowd sound like a bunch of d*cks! You'd think they were driving Beemers [no offense to the BMW drivers!]

I have nothing against Geos. Actually, since the Elio's motor was based off the Geo's, only with more modern technology, I look at Geos as the Elio's Grandfather. You Know, the base technology and concept.
Yes, it was posted in 2014, but still posted. I don't understand how you can say "Very little has changed since then". I, like many here don't like all the delays and missed deadlines, but a start up company is no easy feat, and I understand that. Do you plan to send the White House an email in support of Elio, which is why this thread was started? Just curious.
Actually a Suzuki crowd. The geo metro is a suzuki swift. The geo prizm is a toyota corolla.
The GMF crowd actually just calls things the way they see it. A bunch of good people over there. You should join over there and have a conversation.

In terms of funding, very very little has changed. The most important thing is funding. I agree that the Elio was based off the metro (mainly the engine in the beginning). The dash was based off it too. Yes this tread was started for that, but you are the one that went to different threads and started posting them here.
I am not going to send an email asking the govt to fund the Elio. I do not like big government. I'm not a fan of them funding many things. I would like to see it succeed based on the private sector.
We agree on the same thing, but disagree on what it means? lol. He is a millionaire based on his knowledge/skills and Exxon. I doubt he would turn his back on Exxon due to 1 distant family member wanting a car.
To say that nothing has changed is to ignore reality unless the ONLY THING you consider is current availability. But that's OK. Myopics need love too.
Why do you insist that Elio and Exxon would be at odds. I see it as a symbiotic relationship since Elio still uses gasoline (ICE) directly rather than going electric where they sell Natural Gas to produce the "CLEAN" electric energy. While some electricity is produced by non-fossil fuel methods, each and every one of them requires fossil fuels to produce the components used in those methods. In each case, EXXON wins.
