In 1982, GM unveiled the “Lean Machine”. (All you young whipper snappers need to check it out if you don’t know what it was.) I saw the Lean Machine exhibit at Epcot’s GM sponsored World of Motion. I have never forgiven GM for not producing the Lean Machine. I would have written a check on the...
Perhaps, but what IF they convinced the government to pass the autocycle legislation and make them eligible for CAFEcredits in return for manufacturing jobs? With all the pick-up trucks and SUV's I think they need something with great mileage. (It's a big IF!). They might find the liability...
Tying in my above statement into the debate surrounding Elio's proposed 'Let your gas savings make your payments' credit card financing option, let's say you average 63 mpg with a new Elio vehicle and you'd replaced anything offering 21 mpg or less (full-size pickup trucks, most if not all...
No “sour grapes” here...
But... I’m looking forward to knowing how Elio Motors misappropriated $150 million in OPM (other peoples money)...LOL
Yes... very interesting indeed!
As the fog clears some of us might be wondering just how much stake we should have put in ‘cafecredits’ and getting the ATVM loan as part of the ‘business plan.’ Sure it sounds good when we’re imagining zipping around in our new cool cars and all. And yes, Paul and Co. made us feel all...
We have known for 9 years of the potential. The Roush evolved E1-C
is as near production ready as I've seen to-date.

If they can pull off being qualified for CAFEcredits, I would think the investors would be interested in the much greater profit margin.
Wouldn't surprise me if they have some of the big automakers helping them with that effort, would be a win/win for them.
A lot of screwed up facts, but promising news from thedaiytbeast :

Very nicely put. I agree with all that. I would also add the following based on prior Elio statements. I think Elio Motors is wisely laying the groundwork for eventually getting autocycles qualified for CAFEcredits. The autocycle definition and requirements bridge the gap between motorcycles...
If this is really true (I have no reason to doubt it), Samalross has 'found the key' that unlocks this whole hot mess!! It's not about the vehicle!! Just like cafecredits, oil price mitigation, creative financing, tee shirts, head phones, inane blogs, it comes down to something else: real...
I'm 64, "all in" for the max so there ain't gonna be no "selling off my stock", SIL somewhere around 2300+/-. I've been a stalwart for the duration but the SEC report doesn't look good and the deal with Shreveport may fall apart due to no tax revenue until Elios roll off the line. Pruitt's...
Read the article and I confess it did have me pretty bummed (well I admit I've already been wondering what's going to happen to Elio with Trump as prez).
And then it did occur to me - why am I on a site that's supposed to be about green vehicle technology and this article has *nothing* but...
So you want my and the last week's interpretation of the Sec Filing for 9/30: The reason that small loans and reservations dollars will provide the bridge is that the light is so clearly at the end of the tunnel...so in the near future. The test results are part of the natural progression. The...
Yep. As my initial post clearly states, motorcycle engines do not qualify, and either the engine or the vehicle must be reclassified for CC to work for them.
Looking at that design, they were taking a more traditional Hybrid approach (like the Gen 1 Insight), where the machine could operate in Electric, Hybrid, or ICE-only modes.
The newer one uses a NASA-designed Stirling engine purely as a generator, more like a modern PHEV (Chevy Volt). This has...
Dustin Hoffman's career advice in The Graduate was "plastics." For Elio Motors, it's "carbon credits."

I think when Paul says "over the hump" he means that it's easier to get the ear of potential investors, to schedule time with them. It's great to have the strong endorsement from Zacks, which attracts early bird investors looking for a bargain. That's part of being over the hump. So is the...
