You bet on never..... I prefer to hang onto maybe.

Life is pretty miserable without a little hope
Always good to have a fun utility vehicle backup plan to avoid the potential misery you mention. Hope can lead to misery. I’ve been following three wheelers for over a decade and many of the fly the road concepts that I had hoped to buy, turned to vaporware, so I moved on to other concepts, a couple better than the original concepts I had originally hoped for. That’s how I discovered the Elio Marketing Campaign, the Arcimoto/FUV, and EMV/SOLO. I plan to enjoy a fly the road fun ride, sooner or later, not sit around and hope. Life goes on.

Watashiwah Note: Paul is a highly successful marketing and fundraising realist. The rest of us, not-so-much. I recall many occasions where some Elio Owners Forum members called the ‘realist’ members ‘Trolls’ and chased them off the Forum.

There’s a difference between a realist and troll. We’ve had our share of trolls - and still have a couple or three.

Elio could announce funding This afternoon - and we’d still have trolls.

Couldn’t agree more: I find it particularly vexing when ‘trolls’ I disagree with end up being right. I sympathize!!

I just remind myself that everyone has the right to be wrong: it usually becomes clear with name calling, pejoratives, and unrealistic scenarios as their first signs of self-realization.

Never mind the three wheels, keep your eye on the new "vette 0-60- 3.2
It’s the new Teslsa Roadster’s 0-60mph - 2.1 seconds for me!

NOTE: I’d need a hoist/lift to get in and out of either, oh and money. Heck, 0-60mph - 7.5 seconds threw me back in the seat.

Money can't be the issue - could buy to 'vetts for the tesla, and the new mid-engine, with the throat-e pipes I'll sacrafice for 1 sec.
(hope all is well and you enjoying your new toy

Thanks, Hope all is well with you too. No toys and still waiting on Evergreen #19 due to a required validation retest before the official FMVSS Tags can be released needed for deliveries to commence. I’d be willing to trade the FUV for the Vette! Money, Money, Money playing full volume in the background.
