no doubt but they do reflect the progression/evolution of the product development .... numerous big hurdles have been overcome and some remain .... coming up with a production facility has been accomplished and the biggest hurdle of developing power plant capable of delivering performance capable of meeting the advertised goals is nearing completion .... producing real world test vehicles is on tap .... just because they aren't progressing at rate you or I would like, doesn't mean it can't or won't be done
You make lots of very logical & eloquent statements concerning the ongoing development of the Elio Vehicle...many points I can't disagree with!
But...I'm just waiting to see proof that a fleet of specification ready prototype is under construction...the clock is ticking...especially in the parish in Louisiana where the idle production facility is located...they're waiting for promised employment opportunities to materialize...
Additionally...you consider the Elio Vehicle as more akin to a motorcycle...but Mr Elio has as promised a 5 Star saftey rating...so I view the engineering complexity to be closer to an automobile...
