I would expect these "guys"

the creators inventors financials etc

they have spent hundreds of hours PREDICTING ..

"IF we get this many all-in deposits" …

if we raise the price ….

etc

etc

etc"

how many will back out

how many will bitch and complain but still pay …

having had the "36,000 reservations" as collateral to help secure financing …

REMEMBER THESE GUYS ARE ALL OUT OF THE SAME INDUSTRY AS GENERAL MOTORS, FORD, ETC

they do cost analysis on EVERYTHING !

they probably have conference calls every morning to discuss..

"the numbers"

WE , as consumers, get EMOTIONALLY INVOLVED !!

they know that

they play with that

they USE THAT !

THIS IS BUSINESS !

i would suspect somewhere there are plans for an IPO

maybe a buyout from one of the BIG guys ?

maybe a buyout from a CHINEESE COMPANY ???

we all project ourselves driving around with big smiles feeling good in our new little

ELIOMOBILE

all those "cute colors"

this is all about the NUMBERS !!!

cost to build

price to sell

profit

etc etc etc

i would suspect there are very few people who have made deposits who are stuck sitting on their couch waiting for their ElioMobile !

just another story of American CONSUMERISM !!


like it
want it
need it
deserve it
gotts have it



1. see it on some advertising and the hook is ready to be set

2. hook is set and we decide how we want this item

3. convince ourselves we DESERVE this new item in our lives, how HAPPY we will be !

4. GOTTA HAVE IT !! sell blood sell body parts get that second job so we can buy it to drive to work to let it sit in the parking lot depreciating while we work that extra job to pay for it !!

5. served its purpose, another item comes along …back to phase one …see some new item being advertised ...

have not ever had a drink yet to start the weekend !!

Beautiful composition- clear, conscious, to point and puts most of the thousands of posts on the back burner, BUT, I'm one of those who has difficulty dealing with delayed gratification (lol)- thanks

You see evil behind every tree, even when there are no trees..
Also, why do you have to triple space everything you post.
It is bad enough to have to read your doom and gloom.

Every person in every corporation is not out to make every last penny every minute.
Every corporation isn't one big evil blood sucking monster, as you seem to think.
They make more money by building long term relationships with their customers.

PS you use to many CAPITALS!!!!!

i agree 100%

it defies reason how the government can ask for 6 BILLION $ to keep the "war" going..

when a couple hundred million ( ElioMobile Loan) might get us started to be off the middle east teat for oil

insane

got to go to the one gas station on Island and fill up my bike

two gallons will get me through another week ..

weather report …84 degrees scatt clouds

:D

if every person who put down a deposit was given a referral kickback, think how many more reservations there could be ?

American Airlines turned all the 135,000 employees into travel agents, when they allowed employees to give away guest passes ..they were not free, and they were standby only ! but every seat on every plane was immediately full. someone get Paul Elio to start a referral program, and each of us 36,000 reservationists will start selling the Eliomobile !

The Eliomobile sells itself........along with the help of Chip Stempeck, VP of Marketing. Chip has been around since the very beginning. Go Chip!

When you are driving your Elio........you will be selling the Elio. No referral program needed. That's a car dealer
marketing strategy.........as they work on higher margins and inflated 'Dealer Prep' charges.
