Elio Price Discussion, $6800?

[wayne kemp]

I'm all about facts. It's a fact nobody has promised the Elio would be delivered for $6800 out the door. It's a fact nobody promised the base price would even be $6800. It's a target, not a promise. "GET REAL."

No one has said OUT THE DOOR. That's yours. But Paul has said over and over the price would be $6800.00.

Um, I did read the post but apparently you didn't. The very first post in this thread: (emphasis mine)

next I would like to read someone admit you will NEVER drive away in a new ElioMobile for $6800.

"Drive away" = "Out the door".

Paul has never said the $6800 price is guaranteed. Show me where he did or be silent forevermore! o_O

How far back does $ 6800. Go?

I know that is what was what it was Jan. 2014.
$ 6800. + (estimate 3% inflation) = $ 7004. as of Dec. 2014 ?
Jan. 2015. $ 7004. + (estimate 3% inflation) = $ 7214.12. As of Dec 2015. ?

If that was to be true,then EM has met their goal.

This is all a guess.
When I went "all in" in Jan. 2014 I planned on ~~ $ 10,000. With the options I want.

You gotta remember that Wayne is one who would gripe if you brought out a brand new rope for his hanging.....

You're absolutely right on! It's in their website for crying out loud! What's there to argue? Forget about EM saying they're close to the PROMISED $6,800., or EM is on TARGET to meet the $6,800.00 price! In the end, it's either they MEET what they ADVERTISED or it's false advertisement! Sorry EM.

Nice try Bob! You didn't see that in their website did you? Like $6,800. SUBJECT TO INFLATION at time of production???

I agree jetpack54. I don't think they meant for it to be false advertisement and I don't think it will be. Paul may should have put on the site that they are working 24/7 to get the starting price at $6800.00. By just saying $6800.00 that says they have gone out on a limb and will have to stick to it.
I do know that a couple times working toward $6800.00 was what they were doing but for someone just to click on the site, put up 1000K and maybe later to find out that it's MORE then I guess they would think false advertising and would be correct.

That may be true but I do like for you boys to get the facts right and right (as of

TC, you are correct. A new rope is stiff and scratchy, a used rope is soft and smooth.

 

[jetpack54]

I don't think so too! EM's selling point on the ELIO has always been to deliver a $6,800.00/84 mpg vehicle, right? I don't read it anywhere that they've changed that. In all honesty, I could and I would pay more just to see it happen but why should I when EM firmly believes it can be done?
