I'd buy this in a heartbeat if the price was lower. This is the kind of styling I'm hoping comes back into fashion via EV's... I understand it was ditched for aerodynamic reasons, but when I see old beauties in this style, it makes me so sad with what we have now.
Yep, agreed Rickb. All the successful automotive 3-wheeler start-ups seem to follow the same pattern... start small, deliver what they can and constantly communicate to their customers.
Arcimoto has done this very successfully, Electrameccanica has done well with the Solo, Aptera seems primed...
The reality is that Paul let perfect be the enemy of good, he wasn't willing to compromise and he made some baffling business decisions.
The important thing about any product is getting SOMETHING out there. Because once it's out there, even if it doesn't do everything you wanted it to do, you...
Okay, so this is only really interesting to me, but I finally managed to read the only article on the USA Today expose that wasn't on Yahoo Finance... specifically, the one that mentioned Patrick Byrne and Eliocoin.
Not a lot of new information in it, with the main takeaways being that Gino...
Well, for whatever reason, it seems three of the articles are on Yahoo Finance. The only one missing is one that talks about the Overstock and tZero era (which has a link to the USA Today article about it in Article 3) .
Article 1: Paul Elio raised millions to build cars. His company still bled...
I love electric vehicles and was looking forward to an Electric Elio, especially if it could come close to the specs of something like the Aptera (250 or more miles) and so the promised specs fall a little short.
So if it comes down to an Electric Elio with 150 mile range or no Elio at all, I'd...
Even if Elio Motors were to get full funding for an electric model this year (including enough to pay off their debts), I wouldn't believe they could get re-engineering done, get everything sourced and in the amounts needed until 2024.
Contrast that with the equally troubled Faraday Future, who...
Ah, the Nobe. Love the look of it, but the price just isn't justifiable (IMO)... still pretty amazed they're around after their last crowdfunding attempt failed, but at least they have Sandy Munro in their corner.
I found I had to go into private window mode and hit the stop button to keep the page from fully loading in order to read the article (I did this on my Chrome browser).
For all the issues I have with Paul and Elio Motors, I will say that at least he understands why people are upset and doesn't...
Saw this on Youtube, because it was listed as Part 2 of his discussion on Tesla's Battery Day and he pivoted in the middle towards his company's work with various three-wheel upstarts; Acrimoto, Aptera and Nobe.
Interesting points he makes, which call back to a lot of what Elio was trying to...
The sad thing is, people HAVE driven the Elio prototypes. It's been done on shows like Translogic and Henry Ford's Innovation Nation, with the rest being Youtubers. Everyone who went about describing the drive listed it as being fun, with a few issues here and there that would get addressed when...
Okay, so since I have some time, here's my thoughts on the Overstock Q3 Call.
But first, here's the link to the actual slides used in the report: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4283689-overstock-com-inc-2019-q2-results-earnings-call-slides
I'll be copy/pasting the bits I found to be...
It was yesterday. Here’s a transcript link: https://www.google.com/amp/s/finance.yahoo.com/amphtml/news/overstock-com-inc-ostk-q2-062356125.html
No mention of Elio that I could see, but some interesting blockchain comments that may inform what Elio wants to do with their cryptocurrency.
Would...
Ever since Ty mentioned it in the "Not Encouraging News For Eliocoin" thread, where he stated seeing something about a $1,000 dollar profit from Elio itself, I've been trying to find it because I could have sworn I had read it myself...
Well after two months of searching, I found it! The reason...
To be frank, going pink is not a great or encouraging sign for anyone who looks at Elio Motors as a potential investor.
But I do not believe it is the death knell of Elio Motors or that they're close to announcing bankruptcy.
It all boils down to the one item I keep coming across during my...
The answer is simple: Patrick Byrne will fund virtually anything that has to do with Crypto. The more research I've done on various aspects of cryptocurrency, it almost always leads back to him in some way, shape or form. Honestly, Eliocoin was probably started with the knowledge of knowing that...
Yeah, I know I've seen it somewhere too. I could have sworn it was in one of the SEC filings, but I also think Paul may have mentioned in it one of his conferences (like the one he gave at Georgetown University, which unfortunately is no longer on Youtube). But I KNOW I've heard it from Elio at...
For some reason it's not letting me quote all of RSchneider's post, but this bit is fascinating to me...
"Elio Motors, a car manufacturer that Byrne has previously said was working on a token issuance with tZERO, will not be among the first issuers on the platform, Noursalehi said. Elio wants...
I think it’s a shot across the bow of Shreveport.
This is Elio’s passive aggressive way of saying, “We can go elsewhere to build this vehicle, we don’t necessarily need you”.
So Shreveport’s people and politicians can either cool down the rhetoric, and perhaps try to help get Elio further...
I haven't given up on Elio, but I do think they're in a do-or-die phase. When I first learned about Elio in March 2014 and started researching them, I figured if things went exceedingly well, they'd be out by 2016... if they'd had hiccups, people could accept a wait until 2017, but 2018 would be...
