Elio Crowdfunding

[AriLea]

106% Reserved $26,533,050
That's $250k in the last 3 hours. Only 4 more time spans like that and it's at 110%. Holding this open for 30days-40days more would likely see a full 50m.
I don't think they have to do that. At some point the simple likely hood of success will simply say, go ahead, do the full 50m, or what ever you want.

It's safe to say, people really want this car to exist, and are willing to put money on it. And plenty of people think it has a good shot at fullfillment.

Yes Is there anything wrong with that?

Sort of yes.

Maybe not PE then, sort of felt like doing stand-up about family, then finding your uncle and grandfather in the audience!

Pierre Ethier and Paul Elio, same initials? Didn't see that one coming!

Hi Everyone I no longer want to buy Elois but I still follow the forums. I am concerned about members trying to get friends ,family and neighbours to invest. An investment in Elio would be extremely risky, and the odds of you losing a friend would be very high. The business model of Elio is very poor and they are basing it on unrealistic sales expectations. Before you invest please talk to a financial adviser. It is one thing to invest in the company to help it, but for financial gain it is a different story. There is a reason that big investors are staying away.

But dude, come on. They have $25 million in "non-binding expressed interest" though. I think that puts it a notch above Monopoly money.

I, for one, would like to hear your research conclusions and considerations. Maybe best in another thread.
It certainly would be interesting to see how a few hundred hours of research compares to a few thousand.

Mine more in the hardware, production and marketing, not so much in the financials.

How much Monopoly money are we talking about here? Are we talking Park Place money or Ventnor Ave money?
