100 Preproduction Elio's To Be Built In December!!

[3wheelin]

I think the next major event is unveiling the E1-C, which will be the "model" car ... intended for marketing (Jerome's baby) it will be retrofitted with each design change or update, so that it remains the "model" car. That could come in a week or two, possibly three, but I'm betting no later than that.

If it truly is the model car, it will have steel panels. Which could explain the delay in getting it done (along with B,D,E,and F, all of which were supposed to be done at about the same time).

That's just great! More retrofitting, more design change, more update, more "model" car, more delays!!! Come on people, these stretching the time line deal is all about spending budget which I would guess EM have very little! No money, no honey! Ok, nuff said. Sorry Ekh, I'm today's bad guy and I'm only kidding so no need to get upset.

Not moving much ??????
I think that over 50 reservations a day for the last 3 weeks is moving along nicely

Big like on that, Wizard!

to me that is a realistic way to look at it .... unfortunately, you've been around here long enough to know how some folks come unglued at the news of any type of delay .... like Chicken Little, they are convinced the sky is falling and want to spread the alarm in every direction

Yep. Just like those drivers that think they will get somewhere by tailgating the vehicles in front of them. Some people have no patience, even when patience is a virtue.

Not sure if this has been posted yet with respect to the 100 pre-production factory-built vehicles earmarked for one or more fleet reservation holders, but I was curious who they might be delivered to on a scale that large.

An Internet search revealed this press release from mid-2014:

http://www.prweb.com/releases/2014/07/prweb12006213.htm

Peoria Car Rental (Peoria, AZ) is affiliated with Enterprise, so that kind of exposure - even on a local level based out of just one franchise location - could equate to large-scale deployment across the nationwide Enterprise car rental fleet if all goes well.

https://www.enterprise.com/en/car-rental/locations/gpbr.us-az-north-peoria.5017.html

Edge Auto Rental (Brooklyn, NY) is an independent car rental service that spans the gamut of personal and commercial transportation needs in New York City. We all recall the Road and Track test drive with the fender mishap, but imagine the possibilities of wider Elio deployment as a rental product in and around NYC in terms of public relations and brand exposure.

One outfit not listed in the official company press release from 26 months ago but with a lasting web presence is an upstart coined Elio Rentals, with an official company name of Exclusive Car Rentals. Their website is glitchy and doesn't appear to have been touched by an Administrator since July 2014, which begs to question their relevance. But their business concept appeared to feature long-term rentals of Elio's on a weekly to monthly scale.

You'll also find most of that information here ---- https://www.eliomotors.com/fleet/


**Note; when asked, EM will neither deny nor confirm which fleet agencies will be getting the test fleet; nor will they give out information on what the terms (what they will be doing, or how long do they have) of what the fleet programs are.

Well how about that. This maybe one of the few ways to get a test drive early on! Living in Phoenix area, I may well make a day rental myself!

If they were anywhere near me, you bet I'd rent one for a day or ten.
