I want to believe that good news is coming soon. What is concerning to me is the lack of any future public appearances scheduled on their website. The last event: Jan 14 - 22 "Detroit, MI - North American International Autoshow - Cobo Center - Details to follow"
NAIAS is almost over. They...
No, the Elio photo was taken at the Chandelier Tree in Northern California, a Coastal Redwood tree. I believe that tree is privately owned and still available to drive through.
The tree that fell was a Giant Sequoia Redwood tree in Big Trees State Park at the base of the Sierras, and was called...
Yes. One actually has nothing to do with the other, other than Electra Meccanica providing the discount/reservation for those individuals who can demonstrate that they have placed a deposit on another vehicle.
My thoughts are that Electra Meccanica realizes there is a large group of people who...
Congratulations on your Solo reservation with the $1000 discount. I see you joined this forum a couple of months before I did, so it appears you have been waiting for your Elio a little longer than I as well? May I ask what is your Elio spot in line number?
I also took advantage of the Electra...
I believe someone previously stated that you are wise beyond your years. You continue to demonstrate that. If only more of humanity could adopt such simple truths. Blessings.
May I ask those who stated they only had the $1500 level question: you all chose the option "yes", you would pay $1500 for the automatic option? I think you only get the lower price (same question with a lower price point) when you say you would choose the manual at each question. Then, if you...
At what price point did you agree to purchase the AMT in the survey?
BTW, my survey was the $1,500; $1,200; $1,000 with me opting for manual by choice. You do have the option to give your specific reason for not selecting the AMT, so if you think it too expensive, you may indicate so.
First daily driver was a 1972 VW Type 3 Fastback 4-speed manual. I got my license to drive alone to school & back @ 15 years old under an Oregon special exemption for kids who did not have access to the bus system due to living in rural areas. Fun thing about that car, I would open the front...
Audi has a pretty cool digital dash - with 2 different gauge options. I expect even more such options by other auto makers in the near future.

This is the reason I rarely post here anymore. Don't get me wrong, I've always been very pro Elio; however, I enjoy looking at many different angles of a story. IMO, this site has become Elio-evangelical or Go-away. Even moderators seem to be more close minded now. Thank you to those that...
I remember the first time I saw this "small goofy car". I did think it to be small and goofy looking. Their business model seems to have worked out OK.

"Eastern will produce the complete exhaust system and catalytic converter for the new Elio, which is scheduled to start production in the 4th quarter of 2014."
4th quarter 2014 :dance:
Yea, not sure how accurate the rest of the info is at this point...
A fourth survey option should be added, although I suppose it qualifies as "less".
"Decided not to purchase shares".
My financial situation no longer has room for any risky long-term investments. :(
"And where is the hole for the exhaust to exit?"

I know it's not what I expected. I was anticipating a larger, chromed exhaust exit.
