Until I hear differently from EM, yes. I believe they have every intention and valid plan to bring this to production this year. I don't believe there is any plan to lie or to purposely mislead anyone.

There's a lot of people who are going to be disappointed...Shortly.

Disappointed; perhaps.
But I will still refrain from calling anyone a liar.

Hope I'm wrong but just don't see it happening.

Will this be your 1st, 2nd or 3rd delay? I call it like it is given the facts.

If it gets delayed, it will be the first time since I went all in in July 2014.

I guess that's where we differ. Delays have happened and may happen again. Who knows. But, I truely beleive they are trying to hit those goals. I have yet to to see any "facts" that show they are lying or purposefully deceiving anyone.

You can have different opinions, its allowed. I find it hard to believe that you can't see what EM has done to keep the investors and reservation numbers growing. The production date has always been within a 12-18 month timeframe, a timeframe that is not too long to wait. If it were years out (like it really was at the beginning) then people would hesitate to plop down a $1,000 reservation and investors would not invest. There WILL be another delay and it WILL have a 12-18 month window. Like I tell some people, "Its easier for me to show you then to try and explain it to you". EM will demonstrate this shortly.

Call it negative, call it what you will but its my honest opinion of what has been going on. If this offends you then get over it and move on to another post. I AM a supporter but I'm also wise enough to know shit from shinola. How can EM have a target date when even they don't know how long the DOE will take to approve or deny the loan? The ONLY way EM can give an accurate date is to have ALL the funding they need in place. Until then its just speculation. If you can't see that then keep wearing your EM tin foil hats and beleiving everything EM feeds you.

Like I said, I'm a supporter and want an Elio just like everyone else, I just know BS when I smell it.

I don't see your posts as negative, and if I had been waiting as long as you have, I'm sure I might have some reservation. I will even go as far to say I enjoy reading the opinion of a seasoned reservation holder. Where I disagree with you is the concept of deception on Elios part. From everything I have read there have been reasonable explainations for every delay to date. Granted, we usually don't find out until they announce it after the fact, but they are under no obligation to notify us of anything, so you have to admit, they have shared their progress and roadblocks, along the way as honestly, as possible given the situation. I really believe this is the home stretch whether they make the third quarter goal or not, but I don' t have any doubt's this is going to happen.
