Hello Elio’ers! This week’s tour blog covers our stay in Louisiana. As we mentioned last week, we made a brief stop with the P4 at our plant and then headed to The Big Easy for a weekend event.

As Comau continues with the sale of equipment inside of our plant, it provided a great opportunity to take the P4 for a spin. We took the Elio down the trim lines, where various parts will be added to the frame, and down Final Line, where finishing touches will be completed and the vehicles will be tested. Having the P4 in its home gave a glimpse into the very near future when the plant is fully staffed and the Elios are rolling off the production line. It is amazing how much this project has progressed and continues to do so, and we owe a huge thanks to you. It is your passion that drives us every day and is what will result in significant positive change for the folks in Shreveport and to our country as a whole. What could be better than knowing you played a role in bringing back manufacturing jobs to America?

So without any further ado, here are some photos of the P4 inside the plant.

The nucleus of the plant, where all of the lines meet.

To get an even better feel of what the plant looks like, watch our video of the P4's visit. To stay in line with our Lousiana theme, we used background music of a street band we heard in New Orleans.

Right after the plant visit, it was on to New Orleans! The warm welcome we received was overwhelming. Before our event even started on Saturday we had a huge crowd surrounding the Elio. The crowd continued to grow throughout the day. The line to sit inside the Elio had to transform into a circle to contain it. We even had a repeat guest, 'Wild Bill.' He was pictured in last week's blog as the enthusiastic futureliowner in Shreveport and decided to make another trip with his family to see us one more time. Most folks at Riverwalk Mall were already well aware of the unique three-wheeler that will be produced in their state. Here are some photos from the event...

After reading my Email from Elio about the plant visit, I went to the facebook page as suggested. Wow, it seems no matter what Elio shows, there is a hardcore 'It's not going to happen' group that jumps in to comment. Where are at workers they ask? Stupid question. This is a scam they say, sure PE is going to risk going to jail to get a couple million $, like he needed the money when he started this. Sure he may end up a billionaire, I hope he does, because if so, think how many lives he will have improved.
I suppose after the first 10-20 thousand cars have been produced some of these people may come around, maybe not.
