I sent an email to EM asking about title and registration and received an answer. This was Nov 12, 2014 and I don't know if advance notice notice of closing the reservation program is still true. Below is the question and answer. My name is xxxxx out.
Question:
My name is xxxxxxxxxxxxxx from Palmdale, California. I am all in for $1,000.00 and my spot in line is
#7761. I called earlier today by phone but the question was difficult so I am emailing my question.
Who will take care of obtaining title and registration for my Elio? Normally this is done for the purchaser by the dealership, whether it is a car or motorcycle.
I talked to someone who purchased a Tesla and they said Tesla took complete care of these. They received their title in the mail and the temporary registration accompanied the car.
Will Elio do the same, or will I be given a certificate of origin and have to go to DMV myself and arrange title and registration. Purchasers of vehicle are accustomed to these being done for them and will look bad if not done for the Elio.
Answer:
Hey xxxxx!
Thanks for your email and support.
We will take care of obtaining title and registration for your Elio, so no worries!
Also, we haven't yet revealed when we will be closing the reservation program, but we will be giving advance notice.
Thanks again!
Best,
The Elio Team
