You won't be able to get your oil changed at most franchise oil and lube garages either. The pit is in the middle of the vehicle track, right where the rear tire is.

That issue has been addressed. NOT an issue.

Easy to get around, drive in from the exit side, put just the nose of the Elio over the pit.

At EM a Fleet sale is considered 5 or more sold at the same time to the same Company <--- key word.
5 individuals going in together is not the same unless you want to do a LLC or something more.
So add that into your cost figuring.

Just a little FYI

The cost of doing business, but also the cost of handling money. So a saving account with interest would be an imperative.

How would EM look at something like this cart? (just dreaming numbers up)

Something just occured to me... What if we formed our own "business", then became a "fleet customer"?

However many fleet E's we can get, we have delivered across the country to different areas based on Member population density. All the members who pitched in to purchase the fleet get on the map, and each member gets to drive the fleet car for a set time before handing it off to the next geographically-nearest member. Once our own E's start to be delivered, we auction off the fleet cars (either to members or the general public) and the proceeds are divided among the rest of the members.

I'm thinking we could call it something like "Elio Testing Authority" (ETA for short ). Or maybe "Elio Association of Testers, Mechanics, and Enthusiasts" (EATME)

time to get off those meds.

Yeah Ari; have you been out to get some fresh air lately? That's way too intense to even read / look at this time of day.

I like that idea! But if they are being built in Shreveport, might be fun to all meet down there at the same time for a group photo with all the EATME, LLC members and their new test mules.

Did you say "LLC"?

I've got some friends who know some people in Panama that owe some favors...

I doubt it's an even split between the four. And I fail to see how a car wash and detailing service needs fleet vehicles like the Elio.

I bet it is a high rent place that picks up and delivers the cars they work on.

It could be they just want to advertise the business as senior employees drive to and fro.
