Who Will Be Getting These Couple Dozen Test Vehicles?

I know Continental has the first one, not sure what beyond the tires they are testing? Doe anyone know who gets the others and what they will be testing?

I kept volunteering but they've stopped answering my calls.

Continental is developing the traction control system, the tires, and "other components". I believe they are currently designing/testing the traction control system and it makes sense they'd use the actual tires as well.

No, we haven't heard any info about who's getting the next few test vehicles. A picture on a recent blog entry from EM showed 4 frames sitting next to the first test vehicle, so we know they have been working on building the next 4 at least, but no idea for whom the vehicle rolls. http://www.eliomotors.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/E-Series-300x171.png

Not sure if that was an Earnest Hemmingway, Gary Cooper, or Metallica reference... I'm going with Metallica!

I'd expect it to be an Earnest Hemingway reference. But then again, Metallica has greater appeal to others. I wasn't ever interested in that type of noise. As the decibels get higher, the "music" gets worse.

Jeff is about the right age to appreciate Metallica plus he's a pizza guy and THAT is my #1 choice of food!

I imagine an old lady saying "That loud music hurts my ears".
