I used to dream about solar until a physics teacher explained to me how little energy is there to be harnessed per square inch. Solar is great for large scale but generally speaking the space would better be served with trees or other greenery. I'm sure there are improvements to be made but I...

Umm, no. The site is poorly designed but they have been updating. They had a shipment of cars from China recently. They also keep posting updates to Facebook. That's why their stock is going up.

I'm glad it made it but sad that another toy made it out before something useful. It's a sad world we live in. Toys and gas guzzling SUVs but very few good, affordable cars.

Your getting them confused I think. The Solo is being made by EM and has started mass production in China. https://electrameccanica.com/ Their stock just went through the roof, relatively speaking.

I'm not sure that I see the point.

I hate to sway the topic more but the Lightyear doesn't interest me. It's going to be an expensive boutique car. I didn't see pricing but it looks like it's going to cost a fortune. Rich people can build whatever they want. We are here for mass market cars. Sondors is dead, right? The EM Solo...

It's built and running. Check YouTube for reviews

I suspect the money has been squandered. By that I meant spent on the business but not effectively. It's not free to host a website and keep a staff, even a tiny staff. Someone is still responding to emails and sending out the recycled newsletter. I doubt Paul has a piggy bank of any real...

I'm not sure that there is any money to run with. If they wanted to take the money and run they should have done that years ago when the money was first invested. Other than that, who knows.

I've never really questioned the safety of hydrogen. All that stuff will be worked out before the lawyers let it go through. I question the viability. Gas took over because people were willing to wait for the infrastructure. If electricity had been more prevalent and battery technology better...

While neither have debuted yet I don't see how Kandi and Bolt can get four wheelers on the road but Elio insisted on three wheels. I asked them almost a decade ago about this and they didn't respond. We assume it's safety regulations that they are avoiding but I've seen some pretty flimsy cars...

I keep expecting Nissan to take over. That said no one really wants Renault as long as the government is allowed to call the shots. In all fairness though the French government are the reason Ghosn didn't get a bailout for his greed.

Hydrogen is usually taken from water last time I checked, but yes it is too costly. I also think living near a producer of it has altered your view. No one ever planned on using hydrogen to power vehicles. The big two (Toyota and GM) used it to persuade the US to loosen emmision standards when...

And the CEO is still a millionaire. It's just like when they had the bailout and Congress had to explain that using private jets to beg for money was a bad idea. Trump needs to put a hurt on GM and let them evolve or fold.

Since about 1980 when each division started just rebadging Chevrolets. They had a deep reserve and get US bailouts.

Let me clarify, I was on my phone before and hate typing on it. Reservations without a product is much like a loan. Short term loans are ok but the longer the term the worse it gets. Refundable deposits are somewhat a liability because the money has to be locked in some sort of liquid account...

I see it as a liability because the money is already spent and now any future hype will create delays. If Elio got them money today, which they won't, and I buy one today then it will be 3 years before they get to me.

I think I'm going to get a Solo. I'm still debating it though. I have a classic truck and 2017 Toyota 86 so I don't need the Solo. It could save me money in the long run though and keep miles off the other rides. Then again I could just take a pay cut and work closer to home. That would save...

Jumping in at the end but I still think GM hasn't learned. I see SUVs on the road but I don't think that consumers suddenly hate cars. They have just grown tired of GM trying to tell us what we want instead of asking. I also think GM closing plants in the US is less about learning and thinning...

I actually read that as good news. I just posted a dire "sky is falling" response in the stock thread before reading this. It gives us a possible date and confirms that the coins are more like physical ownership instead of just stock. It re-raises questions about the reservation system though...
