$1,500 sensors around the whole car .... for what ??????????

i guess if someone gets to close to you it makes a noise or something. He did say you would be able to track your kid by using your tablet. I dont know if that meant video in the car with censors. Honestly, i dont remember because i am not interested in spending 1500 for a option like that, and neither are most of the people on the board. I did tell the guy that 1500 was too expensive for a 7k car, and he said they will work with elio on the price. its not set in stone.

I did not have a chance to comment on it yet but this is the system that Jerome was hinting to us about the last two weekends. He did not give us too many details, such as the $1500 price tag , but he did mention vehicle tracking and using your phone or tablet to control and monitor most of the vehicles systems.

He did say the system would be available as one large package or as smaller packages for less money. Hopefully some of the less expensive sensor packages provides a lot of useful functionality for a lot less than $1500 as that is quite an expensive upgrade for this vehicle.

AMEN .... sounds like some vendor has approached EM with sales pitch for an option

That blows the $6800.00 price.
If any of you have heard what Paul has said it was he wanted to produce a car around $6800.00 and for the customer not to have to pay for a lot of things they didn't want on a car.
Seems he is putting on some extra's that may be or may not be a chioice for the customer and that jacks up the price.

You are right on. The guy said something about monitoring the systems. I forgot to add that.

Seems like a version of the AT&T Car Connect

An option can't blow the $6800 price, because it is an option.
