Do Not Write To Doe. Write Here Instead:

The problem seems to be that people go to "new posts" where it does not often appear instead of the top of "general discussionc where it does appear. Most folks go to "new posts" but nit ti the "General Discusion" first page.

Sorry, can't do anything about that; it is what it is.

Half the time I sign on, one of the first things I have to do is look for threads that people start and merge them with existing threads.
This is from the ones that don't bother looking to see if there is anything like it posted first.
If the Mods didn't do that; there would be 4 times as many threads as there are.

We do the best we can with the limited tool set we have.

Don't want to bother with the template? Here's where you go to tell Trump's Transition Team how much the Elio will help to make America Great Again. You have to go to https://greatagain.gov then click on "share your story". Trying to go direct to the "share" page dumps you into a job application form.


Want some help? Read on.

EM does not want letters going directly to DOE at this time, if ever. However, there is another place we can write that is likely to get results in the short term.

So, the incoming Trump transition team has put up a site called GreatAgain.gov. One part of the site invites us to share our story / ideas to make America great again. Go to https://greatagain.gov and click the tab called “share your story.”Go to the link and write your story. You can pick and choose from the ideas below or just write your own. Note: Elio is aware of this effort. They have blessed.

I'm sharing the letter I wrote. Key parts are

1. Talk about Elio's importance in creating jobs. This is an attention-getter for Trump's people.
2. Talk briefly about the Elio itself.
3. Talk about your own personal reasons for wanting an Elio, especially if they are job-related.

Following my letter are some points you could choose from if you don't want to come up with your own.

Feel free to use this letter as an idea starter, or to copy it and modify it to suit yourselves.

The idea is to write your own letter, not just send a copy of this one.

Here's my letter:

I know a way to make America great again by creating a ton of manufacturing jobs. And these are new jobs. Better still, the money to make this happen has already been allocated by Congress. Let me explain. There is a new car called the Elio which gets 84 mpg, seats two, is really safe, and costs $7,300 well-equipped. Learn more at http://Eliomotors.com.

We’re talking 1500 direct American jobs in Louisiana, another 1500 indirect jobs from suppliers gearing up to supply parts to Elio, and up to another 15,000 jobs around the Nation. That’s a lot of jobs!

Elio is real. There are 63,000 paid reservations for an Elio. Elio is raring to go, and they are waiting on a $186 million DOE Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing loan to get the plant up and running. DOE has been sitting on this loan application since 2014. DOE admits the Company meets the technical requirements.

DOE has nearly $30B for these loans, so this is a small one. So get DOE moving on this to make America great again.

In my own case, the Elio will save me about $2,500 dollar a year. I'm 71, and that's a big chunk of money to me. So to make America great again, create manufacturing jobs, AND help the environment with a GAS POWERED CAR -- to do all this Mr. Trump should encourage DOE to at least launch a due diligence program to validate Elio's viability in the marketplace. Then maybe they will cough up a little of the money they've been hoarding for 10 years. Thank you.
​

Here are ways Elio might affect you. Customize at will, or invent your own.

1. It will let me get to my job XX miles away.

2. It will save me $XX a month in gas I don’t have to buy (Figure Elio uses 1/3 your current gas)

3. It will save me a ton of money on insurance – stands to reason that repairing or replacing an Elio will cost about ¼ what it costs to total out an ordinary sedan, so the insurance will cost less. And it's lightweight, so liability costs should be lower, too.

4. It will let my kid get to college and back safely and cheaply

5. It will let me get to work AND feed my kids

6. It will help reduce our dependence on foreign oil AND our overall gas bill.​

And just an FYI; you can do it more than once. I have written in 3 times now and as far as I know, they are all getting added in to the pile.

Are you changing your name and the points you make? If not, i wiuld leave it lie, at risk of being labeled a crank. It doesn't take much.

This opened on 12-19-16, so 2 weeks ago; 3 times in 2 weeks should be enough of a "gap" so as not to get flagged. I also changed the content each time.

America needs jobs. Elio Motors (EM) is poised to create 1500 jobs in Shreveport LA. in a plant previously used by GM. They need an ATVM loan from the Dept. of Energy to get start-up capital. The Elio autocycle is projected to get 84 MPG and sell for $7300. This autocycle would restructure commuting and personal transportation in America. EM has plans for 90% of the content in the vehicle be made in North America, with the vehicle being assembled and built in the USA. Several prototypes have been built, and an engine has been created specifically for the vehicle.

I believe that this autocycle can have a positive effect on our energy usage and provide poorer people dependable transportation at one-third of the cost of driving a less efficient junker. I have invested $1000 non-refundable deposit as evidence of this conviction. I am one of the 63,000 reservation holders who has put down a deposit on a vehicle. Let’s get this ATVM loan guarantee to be approved by the DoE. Let’s get some manufacturing jobs created in our country and make America great again."

Thank you,
