All I know is, I'm glad I have a low number. I think I'm ~6 weeks into production. So while all your "suckers" are waiting, I'll be enjoying my 84mpg. ;)
The early Elios may have a few bugs. I suspect that they will have all the bugs worked out after about 3200 vehicles. Maybe even after 3110.

Even if there are bugs, that's what a warranty is for. I live 70 mi from where I currently work, so I'm sure I'll see these bugs sooner than anyone else.

Question: would the flooding damage in Shreveport that I've seen on the news affect Elio's ability to get and retain local workers?

Just casting a thought into the pond to see where the ripples go...
Folks in East Texas and Louisiana are quite resilient so I expect no problems.

In the link you provided it said: "the bulk of the consumer launch will have to be moved into 2017 at a date to be determined", not that they wouldn't start production until 2017.

The fact they didn't say "all" instead of "bulk" gives me hope that some of the early numbered consumer elios will be out yet this year.
Well, one thing to note, the coming 4th quarter 2016 on there official website is now gone. So doubt any normal production Elio will be built this year. So far, it hasn't been replaced with another date.

They might want actual feedback from the test vehicles before actual production.

I think the fact Roush got involved with Elio is a good sign. It seemed to me in reading Elio's financials that Elio don't pay any of there bills. And I'm sure Roush looked things over before committed to Elio. So IMHO, they must feel they will get paid and Elio is indeed going to make some profit.

Could be wrong, but can't help to feel that way.
