Elio's time has come again?

I sure wish they'd go back to the drawing board and build the Elio for the price we were all quoted. It would be a great vehicle for running errands and just fun. Sad we all got our hope up, sent money and got let down.

Going back to the drawing board is possible, but at the price we were all quoted is not. The dollar ain't worth what it used to be and is going down hill fast. We would be lucky if an Elio was produced with basic list of $10,000.... but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Here is an interesting concept: a four wheel pedal car with electric assist. I've been walking three miles a day trying to lose some weigh (doctors orders).

This look like fun. https://supercarblondie.com/acticycle-car-bike-hybrid-vehicle-french-startup/

Heres some three wheelers from the past. Elio not mentioned. A few I like the looks of and if they were offered for about $10K I would consider.

I have tried to contact Paul a number of times and no answer. Just messages. So, I want everyone to do the same and when he finds out there are tons of us that want a $10K Elio but more basic, maybe he will get back to work on it. Unless we do, he believes that nobody is interested anymore. Thus why he told us that Elio was a failed business and he moved onto being the Costco of EV's.

I also was thinking that since the Vanderhall business plan works (only the wealthy can afford it), why can't Paul build a competitor. Sell them for a year, build up the Elio Motors infrastructure and then build a basic $10K version? I guess since he never comes here anymore, now we need to call him on that idea. So, I will and then the rest of you do it too.
