250,000 Units Per Year ?

That does not even account for the profit from options, accessories, and replacement panels and such!

I do believe Paul Elio has a pretty good idea going, we just all hope he can push this project over that finish line and actually start generating that profit for his investors and himself.

I would rather he drove over, just sayin........

I don't begrudge him a penny and do hope he makes a ton .... he's worked for it over time and earned every penny

And it won't be American Made!

Which is one of the real attractions to Elio for many people, at least the ones I've talked to.

I'm not against Paul Elio in any way but just stating the facts as he continues to say whenever he is interviewed.
If he didn't do his homework before hand on the price then he's not a very good business person. By keep repeating the price of $6800.00 he is in a way making a promise to America that is the starting price. He never starts out saying I HOPE it will sell for $6800.00. If so I haven't seen it yet.
And yes I know what the paperwork said but now days lawyers eat paperwork for lunch.
I believe $6800.00 will be the starting price for the plain jane ride. He will make up the difference on extras.
And I will get in on the extras.

I am definitely not one of those, baby my car type people. I buy a car and I want to use it. I don't want to spend time rubbing it with a diaper, or washing it, or tuning it, or cleaning the wheels. All stuff, I know, I should be doing, but I don't. Standard maintenance, I'm OK with (most times), but I'd rather drive it than work on it.

Knew a guy back in the day who would get a new car and, with a medium ball-peen hammer, put a nice little dent low on the quarter panel, just to have the satisfaction.

$250,000 vehicles per year at a profit of $1,000 per vehicle = $250,000,000 profit per year ...

On the way home from Wendy's tonight I happened to wonder...
What make of car does Paul Elio drive presently? It wouldn't be a gas-guzzler would it?

You mean like Al Gore jetting around on his eco-tour?

The way I see it is the biggest variable in plant production is going to be when EM decides to bring a second shift online.

I don't believe 60K+ reservations is a very high bar for EM to set at all as in about the last six months they have managed to receive about 25,000 new reservations and they only need about 25,000 more to reach your 61K number. As long as the developments we expect starting appearing, running engine, P5/E0, E-series building and testing, EM should have no trouble exceeding that number in the next six months or so.

I'm not sure we can see the 60,000 goal being met unless EM gives us (Elio followers) and potential consumers a shot in the arm with some biggish news like the new engine is doing great and/or a look at the final body design. Something along those lines.
