Part of the attraction to the Elio for me was it looked like a fun car to drive around town for errands and such and for short hops to nearby towns like Lawrence, KS, and Kansas City. Plus I am attracted to unusual, quirky cars. I've started looking for something to drive so I can park my 2002...
I see that the current price is 2.65 wityh about 1662 in volume. Can't decide wither to buy maybe 20 shares or so just to see or let the sleeping dog lie.
I bank with US Bank and buy mine through their broker division. Fee is about $8.95 per trade which I find reasonable. Anyway, check with your bank and see if they have a broker division.
Did anybody see the video or the live webcast from the investor group thing that they did on Nov 3rd? I wasn't available to watch it live, but I thought that Elio, at the very least, would make it available to view somewhere.
Last time I checked, the CD player option didn't seem to be available yet. Plus the options they did have for the stereo were ones that I had no interest in because of cost. Swapping out of standard AM/FM stereo for a combo AM/FM CD player stereo shouldn't be that hard or expensive.
Any comments on the quality of fit and finish and functionality of factory installed (or distribution hub installed) options vs. aftermarket stuff done by a local retailer? I also think I read somewhere that Elio can install factory/vender authorized and designed specific options by taking it...
A question that has not been answered by Elio (and may not be until production is closer) is will the retail stores and distribution hubs be up and running before all in reservation production and delivery starts. My SIL number is 14671 and my guess is that a very smooth delivery process will be...
As most of us have been driving vehicles that have a rear window, we have become accustomed to being able to she behind us as we drive. In fact this is one of the common safety points learned during drivers ed, check forward, check the side mirrors, check the rear view mirror, constantly keep...
It will be interesting to see what the mix of manual to AMT transmissions will be on those 100 pre-production models. Since fleet vehicles are used by a wide range of drivers and a large majority of American drivers today have never even driven a manual, my guess is that the majority of the...
According to the Momentum V67 release of 8-18-16, the body panels will be made of galvanized steel. The release gives a thorough explanation of the reasoning behind this change in though and the advantages Elio sees with this change in design.
I think this is the link...
Still wondering what the plan will be for installing options for the all in reservations, which will be the priority productions when Elio starts filling orders. Will they be done at the factory? Will the distribution sites be in place by that time and they will be done there? (which means the...
I sure hope that we see some stats from Elio regarding performance, mileage, etc. for the auto vs the manual based on measurements done with the E series. And still holding out hope for yellow as a color option.
If I remember correctly, when I bought a brand new 1968 VW Beetle, carpet was not standard. it had some kind of vinyl liner. I got carpeting then for the same reason I probably will on my Elio, sound-dampening. I wonder if Weather-Tech will be making custom floor mats to fit Elio's?
It was just announced today, 5-15-16, that cruise control will now be a standard item on all Elio's. That's why it doesn't show on the options customizer.
If I remember correctly, the P5 has the new IAV designed engine, but nothing has been said about the tranny other than it is a manual. Don't know if it is some cobbled-up thing or some version of a possible production model from Aisan
It has been mentioned several times from various sources that rated mileage is 84 highway/49 city. I have also read that there will be no noticeable difference in mileage between the manual and automatic, but that has been quite some time ago and that's why I am anxious to hear some real world...
