I can't wait to see the engine on Feb. 6th.
Very well said!
It tickles me to see the same people, who in the recent past, likened us to "lemmings", blindly following. Now they are saying..."it's all over...time to give up. Lets all go jump off the cliff!" So, now that you all are "sure" that "It's over", maybe you will stop wasting your time on this worthless forum.
Here is what I AM sure of...If EM does not make it happen, NO ONE EVER WILL. I am still convinced that EM's intentions are honorable and will continue to support this worthwhile cause. Am I blind? NO. I know this is a risk. But I do have a backbone. I am not a jellyfish. I will not be pushed by this "toxic wave" of doubt.

"Z" is not here anymore.
TE, if you truly think it's done for, and you don't have a reservation, why are you still here? Just to gloat?
I like Paul Elio's signature! PalDear Elio Family:
When I started Elio Motors, I always thought the most gratifying part of the experience would be seeing the vehicle go from concept to reality. After all, I’m an engineer. That’s what we do. We dream big and turn those dreams into a product people can use, enjoy, even love.
But, a funny thing has happened on our journey. The real gratifying part of building a vehicle from scratch has been meeting the thousands of fans across the country who understand and support our mission. The people who have made reservations, or even just the ones who come to events with enthusiasm have altered my world view.
Nothing is more important than supporters like you.
With that in mind, since our inception we have adopted transparency as one of our core values. Keeping our customers up to date in a timely manner on our progress is incredibly important to our mission.
That’s why it is a top priority of our company to let you know we have pushed back our 2015 production target. We now anticipate production date in the first half of 2016. We have many of the major building blocks in place to succeed, including our vehicle design, our world-class team of suppliers and the manufacturing facility in Shreveport. In addition, we will introduce our engine to suppliers, investors and media on Feb. 6. Even with all that progress, the key component that affects our timeline is funding, and these efforts continue to take shape as we have several strategies in place to expedite the fundraising efforts. We have retained Corporate Fuel Securities, a New York-based FINRA registered broker dealer to act as financial advisor and placement agent in our fundraising efforts. And, we can raise potentially millions of dollars through the sale of surplus equipment in the Shreveport facility. In fact, here is a web site where you can take a look at all the surplus equipment available (Surplus Elio Equipment).
Additionally, there are a few other strategies we are working on behind the scenes that we’ll be able to announce in the near future.
Rest assured, every single Elio Motors team member is working diligently every day to get us closer to production. All we ask is for your patience and support as we continue this journey. The Elio is revolutionizing the way people will commute and we look forward to the day you take delivery of your Elio. That day is coming.
As we move forward with our fundraising efforts, we will share what information we can, as soon as we can. Thanks again for your support and your belief in Elio Motors.
Best regards,
Paul
I agree; and feel the same. I'm disappointed but not to the point I have seen others on here. It's insulting to the faith they had when they invested. All investments are a risk; they never say 100% this will be a success on this specific date no matter what it is you're investing in.
