Cash from reservations is just a drop in the bucket. Has no real impact on ELIO. The reservations do in the form of support and what maybe possible for ELIO. IF ELIO is counting on that to keep the doors open they are in big trouble. Investors will look at the reservations numbers.

here again, I never said they are relying on reservations to keep the doors open .... the numbers will vary but the last release showed about 50 reservations a day .... that equates to somewhere between $500 (if all reservations were for $100) to $50,000 (if all reservations were for $1,000) a day coming in or somewhere between $3,500 and $350,000 per week .... realistically I suspect the amount will be closer to $500 a day/$3,500 a week .... in tight money times, whatever the amount is has to come in handy and I'm pretty sure they would rather have it than not to have it

50 p/day x 7 = 350 p/week x 100 = 35,000 ; 350 p/week x 1,000 = 350,000 ............. :)

in thinking about it,

50 per day at $100 each = to $35,000 per week X 4 weeks = $140,000 per month

50 per day at $1,000 each = to $350,000 per week X 4 weeks = $1,400,000 per month

given, all being $1,000 reservations ain't gonna happen so looking at the $100 reservation figure as a minimum.... EM's tour/marketing is bringing in what I consider to be some serious money .... cut the average number of reservations to 25 a day and they are still in position to pay at least some of their bills

If you just look at the base figure of 39,351 at $100 each that's 3.9 mill Not bad of box of money to have to work with.

My 3 cats use 2 lbs of litter / day
if I could get them to use just one..
at the current price of litter about .85 (clumping) /lb.
I could have a box full enough to put a $ 100 deposit on an Elio in 6 yrs, 3 months 12 days , that's not bad- lol (in jest)
