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

Maybe they go to well off customers' houses and clean their cars there. Doesn't take that much equipment to detail a car, I don't think.

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

Your question may have been answered, but Paul said in a recent press conference that the first test vehicle is planned to be done in June.

PLANNED. Hehe.

To bad Elio couldn't have made a deal with Best Buy for their fleet vehicles
Best Buy's Geekmobile is getting new wheels: Toyota Prius

Best Buy would probably need more than 100, but that is a good idea.

Best Cry has more than just the Prius in the fleet. I am frustrated with electronic recycling here in PA atm. Hence Best Cry

With all the free advertisement Paul has been giving Starbucks, one would think they'd reciprocate by buying at least a handful of Elios. Or at least name a drink after it, like the Elioccino (3 shots espresso for a long-delay, high mileage jolt of gas).

brilliant move, IMHO. not only does it generate revenue for the company, but it places the actual testing in the hands of (presumably) wholly impartial third parties who will test the pre-production vehicles under real life conditions.

achieving a successful pre-production "launch" here should generate the funds necessary to move forward with production vehicles. a far better strategy, IMO, than trying to negotiate VC financing from a position of weakness.

well done, ELIO team!

Is it too part of humor that you post, and then respond to your own post?? Now that's funny, as long as there is no overflow to the rest of your life :-)

Kind of like kicking the football every time you bend over to pick it up. We had a guy who when he fumbled the ball and kept kicking it down field each time he bent to pick it up he kicked it further down field. By the time he kicked and ran 4 times he had scored a touch down. Yes we could say he kicked a touch down.

I hope we don't descend down to what Chevy has done with its Spark Model. They're letting Dominos put a heater oven in the back compartment. LOL
