Saw this the other day:
EM just announced that is it going to open a facility to build the e-series. Not that it has a facility or that the e-series is started. So this is an announcement that they are >planning to open< in the future a facility to build the e-series.
How does this square with multiple EM statements that the e-series is "being built right now"?
Sounds to me like not only has the e-series not been started the facility to build them hasn't even been started. Color me disappointed :-(

After selecting Livonia-based Roush as its lead engineering supplier in March, Elio Motors Inc., a developer of three-wheeled vehicles, announced today it will establish a pilot operations center in Livonia to assemble its test vehicles.
“Beginning the E-Series assembly is another important milestone in our journey toward production, as these test vehicles will allow our engineering and supplier teams to evaluate and validate our design,” says Paul Elio, CEO of Elio Motors. “Commencement of the build will be another tangible sign of the progress we continue to make every day in our unrelenting quest to get this vehicle to market.”
