I just put the remainder of my $1k all-in reservation in. Will be happy to get my number hopefully in less than a few weeks. And to keep on topic :), I'm 30 and plan to use the car as a daily commuter in an effort to keep miles off my more expensive family vehicle.

In the email this thread is about, Paul says it is due in part to funding: Note the part about "timely closing of financing commitments." Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

For the record, I am interested in a commuter car. If the smart fortwo cars were less expensive and got better fuel economy, I'd probably have already gotten one. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I take any statement about the future as subject to change. I'm not a religious person, but there's a line in Matthew that I kind of agree with: I try not to make promises about the future and try to take any one else's statements about it as merely estimations. Sent from my Nexus 5 using...

Pretty sure you got me twice. I'm Joseph B. Also pretty sure I won't be driving up to meet you all. I might meet somewhere locally if someone else organizes it, but I don't really feel like being the organizing individual.

While no official details have been released and anything I or anyone else claims about the program is speculation at this point, here's how I would hope it to be laid out. There would be 2 separate lines of credit. One would be similar to a traditional car loan for the cost of the Elio. This...

And it looks like I'm about halfway between the both of you in the Maineville area. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I'm sure one kind has a much greater effect than the other. From the Wikipedia: Electric systems have an advantage in fuel efficiency because there is no belt-driven hydraulic pump constantly running, whether assistance is required or not, and this is a major reason for their introduction...

I hear that Electric Power Steering is getting more popular these days. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

You'll know when the next batch of numbers start making their way out. Lot's of people will be posting about it. I'm betting it will be pretty soon now. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I wouldn't be surprised if the first model year was less than a full year worth of production.

While I'm not a huge fan of the styling, I'm fairly adaptable and don't think I'll have any problem reading the gauges at a glance. But then again with my glasses on I can see both near and far clearly. My dad has trifocals to see near and far and in between, but I'm not sure how popular those...

What if I start out imaginary? :P Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I was in the Army Reserve from 2002 to 2010. I was a 42L with the F5 identifier (Administrative Specialist with Postal training). I was activated in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in late 2004 and was in Iraq (FOB Danger in Tikrit) most of 2005. I worked in an Army Post Office as a Postal...

I was under the impression that Elio had already purchased much of the equipment that was in the plant, not that it came free with the lease. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

They have a FAQ on the Ohio BMV website about 3 wheeled vehicles. It looks like until the law is changed, you'll have to get a motorcycle or 3-wheel motorcycle endorsement. http://www.bmv.ohio.gov/faq_three_wheel.stm

I bought my wife's Honda Fit off of eBay from a place 800 miles away. I paid an independent trucker $400 to have it shipped. He had a standard enclosed trailer that only fit about 3 vehicles. I'm sure it's a heck of a lot cheaper per vehicle if you have a trailer designed for hauling cars. It's...

Not sure how you figure that. The last couple dates reservation numbers were released were Feb 8 and Mar 20, a difference of almost 6 weeks. Using the same interval puts my estimate of the next date for the spot-in-line numbers on 29 April. So, you might have closer to 3 weeks yet to go.
