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

[Rickb]

Politely non-specific. I think they are tired of making forecasts they will miss if everything doesn't go just right.

2017 is a production forecast.

Life is like a box of chocolates...that have melted under the sun of a southern summer day.

I have, even with my limited # of brain cells, no idea what exactly you're going/coming with your posts.
Please don't respond, I've just decided to block you.

Any one know what happened to the 25 P-5 test vehicles? Also any ideas on who and what the fleet uses will be?

First test vehicles(per/PE) June.

I don't know why, but I'm thinking late second quarter at the earliest. Perhaps wishful thinking.

In Facebook, EM says:

Elio Motors Hello Hector, Elios will be available in the first year of production to our reservation holders, and those that do not have a reservation will be able to purchase an Elio at one of our stores starting the second year of production. We're targeting production to start in 2017, and more details about the road ahead to starting production can be found here: https://www.eliomotors.com/news-release-elio-motors.../

It was at https://www.facebook.com/ElioMotors/ and a date of March 22 at 11:41am

Using the production rates EM has given, if they started production in August 2017, they would fill all the reservationist orders by December 31 of 2017 and could continue production into January 1, 2018, and start selling from the stores at that time. This would fill all the reservationist in 2017, and non-reservationist could purchase them 2018 like EM said. Perhaps they going to start production August 2016.

The fleets that will get them are on the EM site; just click on the "Fleet" heading and it will take you to the right area and it has a list.

<Pssstttt Marshall [EO member 6254] ; he asked ".....any ideas on who and what the fleet....". Folks [EO member 1140] has been on here for a long time, and knows what EM and PE proposed for the fleet originally. Just sayin'>

It's amazing how differently this reads after a few hours of sleep. I was thinking he might be someone who had not heard about the recent flurry of activity over the last two months and simply needed an update. Sometimes trying to clear things up only leads to more confusion.

Would you believe a very broad forward looking statement?

Oh no!
Be careful with them there labels.
Deniability is everything.

I agree with Marshall...

According to EM, the proper term is now "forward looking statement".

As heard on "Big Bang Theory" last night; "Denial is not just a river in Spain, you know."

Actually this is interesting.. . (only to me ?) . . .

As heard on "Big Bang Theory" last night; "Denial is not just a river in Spain, you know."

Opps.. this is the claim from Uncyclopedia.wiki , but of course (! Uncyc~ !) that does not make it official.

In Egypt when somebody was convicted and sentenced to a crime, but pleaded innocent, they were left to bathe "In da Nile". These persons were referred to as "in denial" and later this was shortened to just "denial".

another

It's a play on word.
Denial sounds like 'de Nile'. (somebody saying 'the Nile' with an accent).
And the Nile is of course a river in Egypt.
There's a country and western song that has a line "Call me Cleopatra, because I'm the queen of denial."

counter-point... , which was probably a purposeful mis-quote for a dramatic effect.

It’s a great quote, not the original Egypt quote by Mark Twain, but the more current and oblivious comment by Doug Heffernan of -The King of Queens-. I have been thinking. . .

From root word Deny..

Word Origin and History for denial
1520s; see deny + -al (2). Replaced earlier denyance (mid-15c.). Meaning "unconscious suppression of painful or embarrassing feelings" first attested 1914 in A.A. Brill's translation of Freud's "Psychopathology of Everyday Life"; phrase in denial popularized 1980s.
