Hi,
I was curious what the latest update was regarding Elio?
Is there anything we can do to try to recoup our investment? Is there a current class action suit? Is there a way to get a hold of an Elio executive by email, phone, or other? Do we have any leverage anywhere?
I invested $1000...
I don't seem to recall things quite the way this writer has documented, but when was the last time anyone even bothered to write and publish an article about the Elio?

From Ars Technica:
The loan program that buoyed Tesla, stalled out, and landed on Trump’s cut list
It reads more like a postmortem, although the program isn't dead yet. I still wouldn't count on the ATVM loan being part of the funding solution.
I once posted that the ATVM loan people had been ideologically captured by an anti-government-loan majority, and posted such.
In 2016, June, Elio Motors posted that the ATVM people had given over a new requirement for the loan: 66,000 confirmed purchase orders. That would be cash in advance for...

The news tonight covered an iihs report on the efficiency of headlights in a host of current SUVs. Four were poor but acceptable, five were marginally acceptable, and the rest flunked. Henceforward IIHS will not issue the highest safety rating for cars not rated "acceptable". This would apply...
So, this is an Idea I've been kicking around for a while, and drew up some sketches on paper (which, if you've been around for a while, you may have seen). Well now I've gone and created a 3D mock-up of my idea on the ol' P4 Sketchup model.
Obviously, it would need a new license plate mounting...
Elio Motors is still struggling to get cars built, tested, and into production. They’re working as hard as they can to make it happen … but there’s a chain of events that leads to success.
As of now, Elio needs $240 million more to open the doors. Sources of funding are

Hi again folks,
I do not know if it has been said before; but I am just a bit curious what the first production run's model might be. I have heard of P2, P3, P4 and P5.... then also vaguely "E series". But when they start filling reservations, do they already have the official "model...
This is weird. I actually had a dream about Elio last night. I don't have dreams about cars, EVER. Or Elios, or anything as put together as this dream was. In the dream, I somehow fetched up at a site, in fairly rugged country with a stream running through it, where a bunch of people were...
I may be late seeing this, but the Elio Spec sheet seems to have been updated. Of course, now it needs to be updated again to include cruise control as a standard feature.

Futuristic Automobile Makes Pit Stop in Iowa
Just a little news story showing Joel Sheltrown (Elio's political guy) pushing Autocycle legislation to the corn huskers. From the tone of the article, he's going to succeed.
A number of states (including Ohio) prohibit manufacturers from selling motor vehicles directly to the public, requiring a dealer system instead. In Ohio, at least, motorcycles are defined as motor vehicles under the law, so there is no loophole there.
However, there is some stirring of action...
How many gallons of fuel are you targeting to save annually?
I'm acquiring an Elio as an "AND" vehicle for use in my daily commute and whenever else possible.
Current vehicle = ~17 mpg
Current vehicle will consume 706 gallons of fuel over 12,000 miles annually.
