Elio Addict
Sadly seems the Elio-G link no longer works. That's the one I want and even have a locked in price on it. Hopefully he still intends to produce it too. Quite a few of the other links don't work as before.
I found this press release form Elio motors and it states
Once the electric version is produced, Elio plans to potentially launch the Elio-G for consumers looking for a gas powered alternative.
So, there will be a slight setback. Looks like the Elio Plant had a fire. With EV's burning up all of the time, maybe this was an Elio-E fire. I suspect Paul will just go back and make the Elio-G first. It makes sense as he sold 65K of them and that's what people want.
Thing is, the locked in price, Paul will have to honor. So let's say you put down $1K non refundable, got a $500 discount, did a commit to buy at $7K, so when he makes your Elio, you'll just only need to write a check for $5500. Adjusting for inflation, that would be $7K. So, you will be getting the best deal ever as that Iron Clad contract, he will have to honor. The longer you wait, the better the deal.
