Hmmm... seems to be some activity in this thread.
Let's see what's going on:

If there is one engine, on one test stand, in the one facility, there isn't much options for a backup plan. It is in IAV's facitity and IAV's engine design. Their (IAV) schedule changed.

Maybe there was someone with more clout. I don't know. I have found that it is better to look for the cause rather than fault or throw blame. It has helped me from making apologies for rash deductions, assumptions or accusations.:)

That squares with what I've been told. IAV's biggest customer is Mercedes. If they have an emergency, guess who else has one?

It was an Elio Motor's delay. Every decision made and everything that happens as a result is and reflects Elio Motors.

This is getting old. The only thing that EM is good at producing is delays. Always some excuse.

I dont believe the "stakeholder" excuse. They could set up cameras and broadcast it to the "stakeholders".

Don't confuse stakeholder and stockholder. All stockholders are stakeholders. Not all stakeholders are stockholders
