[John Painter]

IAV has likely completed the project, but just won't release it. Speaking of trusting Smurfs.

I agee, only blue bloods would have the money to front Elio for all that work.... Friggin smurfs!

Snipped: The delays, both production and the engine start event were caused by the absence of Benjamin Franklins, the most important player and progress stops in his absence on the development track to production.IMO

That may be true... but we'll never know.

When G1 writes the definitive history of this start-up we may.............

Frankly, I appreciate Past Fanatics comments as it keeps me reminded of EM's track record, where they have been, where they are currently, and where I hope they end up. However, I genuinely worry about his blood pressure and it would be more healthful to simply resolve his issues....

Nothing to worry about there..... I exercise daily, and better BP than average for my age..... BUT I am a bit 'bummed' that I had to cancel my SKI TRIP this year, for lack of snow at the resort we usually fly to! The 'resolution' to my issues are for Elio Motors to SHOW some PROGRESS, and to quit taking money from 'future suckers' with their false claims..... until they actually have the ability to TEST and PRODUCE a vehicle!

Good news on your good health! I would be bummed over a canceled ski trip/vacation too, damn that global warming! There is always next year to look forward to and perhaps good photo memories of last year's trip.

So let me get this 'straight', after announcing the THIRD major delay in their production schedule (Jun/Jul 2014->1st Qtr 2015->3rd Qtr 2015->First ½ 2016), Elio Motors has their first MAJOR PROGRESS announcement since the P4; the Public Unveiling of the IAV Engine (hopefully scheduled and coordinated with IAV, important visitors, and the Press, BEFORE announcing the date), 6 Feb 2015. The same engine that took them 7 months (since accepting the cast parts in April 2014) to machine and assemble, and a Dyno testing date (pushed from 15 Nov 2014 to 28/29 Jan 2015); finally ready to reveal to the PUBLIC..... and TWO DAYS prior a 'stakeholder' says they can't attend.... so the entire event is CANCELLED, and can't be re-scheduled in over THREE WEEKS. For such a VITAL component of the Elio Autocycle, with the disclosure of their financial 'shortcomings', and increasing public concern over lack of demonstrated 'progress'; one would think that any important 'Stakeholder', worth his salt, would DEMAND they continue.... without him.... just to increase confidence in the company and encourage future major investors.

Just does not pass the “smell test”!

Yes, but did you know The paelocypris is the smallest fish 7-9mm??

The 'resolution' to my issues are for Elio Motors to SHOW some PROGRESS,

Well, I resonate with that one.
At 40K reservations, I don't care anymore about new reservations one way or the other, it doesn't likely drive the funding anymore. Perhaps EM doesn't worry as much either and will not put out as much early bird PR information, which is kind of what you want on the info side.
But I'm 100% in there for wanting ! real ! progress, and to 'see' it.
For my case, I'm more bored than anything else, and need to know if I have to finish my Atlantric project before we see this kind of vehicle materialize.

So moving onward, I'm creating a design for a Chinese-Scooter powered trike. It's no Elio or Atlantric, but it will be cheaper than either, not as safe etc etc.

My money is on the unicorns are having a labor dispute and and the friggin smurfs (how can you trust someone who's blue) can't come to an agreement, long story short, IAV can't complete the project.

?? something we said??
