What ever happened to the one they set to Washington for the air conditioning?
Is it still there or did they pick it up?
This link here was the last time it was brought up...

So it sounded like Elio was overall pleased with the test, while acknowledging some stuff might need to be improved. I would assume Elio got it back to make adjustments on the car itself.
With that said, Ty’s post reminded me that the E1a was sent to Continental and we’ve heard nothing of it since.
So I sent Elio an email and just got a reply...
Title: A topic for a future update, if at all possible...
Body: I realize that there's a lot that you can't talk about due to NDA's or getting knocked by the SEC, but I was wondering... is it possible to go into any further details about the E-Series vehicles you guys sent off to various places? For example, you did a blog about E1d, how it performed overall, ETC. But we never heard much more about the E1a... there was video of the white trike handed off to Continental for brake work, but nothing else. How'd that go?
Are either of those trikes being used by Roush to implement the new power-train?
I would love it if the answer is yes, because I think this type of content would garner some new positive word of mouth, but again, I understand fully if for various reasons you cannot discuss even that. I just know the type of blogs that have been put out lately has soured some of the Elio Groups I hang out in, so was trying to think of stuff you could talk about to gain excitement back up.
In any event, thanks for reading, hope you all have a great week and much success in getting funding!

They didn’t tell me they couldn’t talk about it... so here’s hoping for a more informative blog in the future!
