EM has shown computer drawings of the vehicle's frame. Earlier drawings showed a solid bar on the drivers right side. The last drawing I saw showed an opening on the right side that was identical to the left side opening where the door goes.
I believe they are placing a door on the right side...
Found this statement interesting: "The Elio will be nicely equipped with powerwindows, powerdoorlocks, air conditioning and cruise control, accompanied by the safety of multiple air-bags and an aerodynamic, enclosed vehicle body." They say "door locks" as plural. Perhaps they are looking at...
Not sure I can say definitively that it's a scam based on that exchange. However, I would NOT take payment via PayPal, because cars are not covered under buyer/seller protections. Certified check or cash, or nothing.
This is the ad I have posted on KSL...
2013 Chevy Silverado work truck. 8' bed, regular cab. Only 86K miles. 4.8L V-8. Brand new tires. New windshield. No powerdoorlocksand no powerwindows are the only negatives. Immaculate. Everything works. If you think the price is too high you need to...
KISS applies to the Elio still. Two configurations to deal with is VERY simple. There were 21 different cross-body harnesses on the S-10 line. 21! There will be ONE on the Elio line because they'll use the same one for either transmission. To me, that's as simple as it gets. They'll use...
The Elio is not old technology and it's not KISS. So, why people say that is beyond me. If it was old tech, then it would have a carb, distributor, engine driven fuel pump and be a pushrod engine. No electric locks, no AC, no powerwindows, no airbags, no ABS or no TC. The automatic would a a...

I also saw this news release earlier today. This is very good news, but Elio still has no money to go into production. If they have enough money left to build a prototype or a beta with this new engine, Paul Elio could spend the rest of the company’s money going around showing it to others. I...

Well, close,
The powerwindowsanddoor lock is a cheap item, power is cheaper then the hand crank windows, Hyundai proved that.
the AM/FM stereo radio is another item that is a bargain basement item.
Trip computer?? That's built in to the speedo, no real cost savings there.
The rear seat is...
3wheelin I think you're 100% correct. I've puzzled the Elio situation till my puzzler was sore. Yes that's Dr. Seuss, but with a 10 year old in the house I've got plenty of Dr. Seuss quotes in my head. Here's what I've puzzled... Assume I'm a microcap mutual fund manager. I'm looking at...

Why do you assume that Paul's business model isn't working? Because we don't get our Elios when we want? Paul hasn't sold or lost Elio Motors yet so I'd say he's doing okay in that respect. It sucks not having a car and it sucks that the published timelines seem to pass by. But, think about...
I think that you have very good points. The main disagreement would be an optional automatic transmission. Most people do no want standards, but adding a thousand to the base price to make it automatic would deter many buyers. I can buy a new Nissan Micra for 7480 US. Paying a thousand more for...
First thing to do is for Elio to change his business plan. Obviously the current one is not working. Many businesses could be saved with a huge influx of cash but that's just a band aid solution and it's not the right direction for Elio. Paul can't keep standing out at an intersection with a...
