Elio In Vegas - C E S 2015

[goofyone]

I find it hilarious that a fuel efficient innovative ICE engine vehicle kicks butt at a consumer electronics event.

I actually kind of understand it even if it is odd.

CES is packed full of gadgets and there are even a lot of nice cars showing off a lot of car gadgets but the problem is that all that stuff starts blending together after a little while. In this environment a futuristic looking orange colored fully enclosed three-wheeled vehicle is something that manages to stand out as being something different.

The other advantage is that these are technology journalists and not the auto industry media who tend to be jaded about start-ups and biased against economy cars. Showing off this unique looking, inexpensive, and fuel efficient ride which can also be packed full of technology to tech journalists is actually a pretty smart move as they are likely to provide good coverage without asking too many pesky auto industry questions.

Please take time to vote for the Elio, it is currently ahead, let's keep it there!

Here is the actual report from CES, a pretty positive outlook from them I'd say.

interesting pics .... I think I'm going to have to see the IPad on the dash for me to make a decision .... I did note the last sentence in the linked article above : "Elio Motors is currently accepting reservations for the $6,800 Elio on its website. The automaker expects the vehicle will hit the roads in the US mid-2015."

Paul Elio quote, "late 2015".

I liked Paul Elio's i-Pad mini demo. It may have changed my mind about Skyze.

Check out the comments. One poster's handle caught my attention.

The EM folks do lurk around the internet joining in when they feel the need.

That's how they do it here in New Mexico and they even vote from the grave.

No where to be found.

When are we going to see a production schedule?

I'm tired of hearing of sales visits.

Paid the money when might I see the car?
