Ed, Congratulations on your decision to upgrade to $1K. Normally the "window" for securing reservation numbers is about 7-8 weeks. The last reservation numbers release was in early July and I think most of us anticipate the next release to be around Labor Day. Hope you will use the forum search function to enable you to quickly find the answers to most of your questions and if you can't find it just ask because the members are helpful and friendly. We are a diverse group with expertise in many areas so someone will jump in and try to help. Welcome to the Elio journey and I hope you find the experience rewarding.Hello. I went "all in" at the $100 level on July 11. Upgraded to the $500 level on July 18. Today, after receiving the email, I upgraded again to the $1000 level. I have 3 different "order numbers" but have not received anything indicating what my "production number" is. I assume I will take a spot behind all the current $1000 non-refundable deposits. I'm really looking forward to seeing Elio at the State Fair of Texas auto show in September/October.
