Holy Crap! Testing, Testing! The Solo R's slalom run looked solid and stabile. Braking.......stopped on a dime. Three wheels a turnin!

Has the Elio been run like the Solo? I dare say it does look better and will be a beautiful, custom machine to own.
Stilling waiting for my ELio.....

yes heat and ac will reduce range. I think of the solo and elio as a motorcycle replacement for thousands less than a motorcycle...
use it for spirited rides down country roads...

I was told A/C will reduce range 10% that's 90 miles instead of 100. That's fine for me as my daily commute is about 5 miles and if I visit my kids about 60 miles round trip and I could always recharge while there. I don't see the Solo as the long distance car but as a second commuter car it should work for almost everybody and better batteries are in the future! I still would love both and I have a spot in line if they ever make the Sondors.

I live in North CA Central Valley. Our summers get really hot, but it is a dry heat.
I thought about how many times I turn on the A/C, probably 10 times a year.
As long as I can park in the shade, I really do not need A/C.
I had four 4 wheel vehicles that did not have A/C and survived.
Will probably not get the option, as the main reason would be for resale and do not plan on that.

I won't deal with range anxiety when I get my SOLO. This will be riding with me at all times! :D:D
