There is a very small, but vocal, group of people who believe the world is falling over at EM. They are mainly the group who have been around for a while and have followed closely. While I can understand this groups frustration they do tend to act like kids as they should have known what they were getting into when they got in and should behave like adults about this instead of constantly crying about it. The facts are that most reservation holders do not follow along closely and nearly three quarters of the reservation holders have been with EM for less than a year and most only experienced their first announced delay last month.
I have been told, by one of EM's Facebook monitors who I have contact with, that EM has purposefully disengaged somewhat from the discussion on their Facebook page as marketing studies have shown that internet users have become savvy to the fact that negative comments are common and simply disregard them, anyone here read Youtube comments?, so this does not actually hurt nearly as much as some may think it does. By only responding in a targeted fashion this also does not feed the trolls who want this to happen as an excuse to push further.
Elio Motors frequently repeats information as they frequently see the same questions over and over again. It helps to consider the fact that new people are constantly being introduced to EM and they tend to ask many of the same questions again as well as need to be caught up on a lot of things we take for granted. There is also the fact that the vehicle and company are both still in development so it simply takes a good bit of time to develop new information which EM can share and feels is worth sharing.
