Hello From Lake City Fl

[trock59]

Hi everyone, I reserved my Elio with $100 all in on Saturday. I'm thinking rocket silver, 5sp. manual, cruise, pop open rear windows and a trailer hitch. Factory stereo should get me home but I'll add a few upgrades myself later. I like the early fender style if we have a choice. Next year I will get to go to Shreveport and drive it home. I saw an ad for the Elio on our local 4sale by owner site today ! When are they planning a TV ad? T Rock

Hi TRock, welcome! For a TV ad, haven't heard anything. Social media, tour events, interviews with news companies, radio shows, and car websites... that's about it for advertising so far from Elio Motors.

I have been thinking about the effects of a TV ad recently. I remember a commercial from 10-15 yrs ago, when a website went "live" with their product, and the order number counter was spinning so fast you couldn't read the tens digit. The smiles on the employees faces went to shock and fear. LOL I wonder if that would happen to Elio Motors... don't get me wrong, the more publicity the better, but their plans for the next 12 months might need some altering if they suddenly received 700 reservations a day. Interesting daydream, for sure!

Welcome to the forum and this crazy band of Elio enthusiasts. The forum will provide you with the latest information and reviewing the threads will tell you that it doesn't look like the first year Elio's will have trailer hitches. It will have to be an after market item. Thanks for joining this historic journey.

Welcome to a fellow Floridian. I am going all in 1000 tomorrow. Hopefully you can join us for our car pool and caravan on the release of our beautiful Elio. We have a buncha fellow floridians that would like to caravan to get the car

Welcome from TN. I like the idea of picking up my Elio at the plant too. Hopefully a tour, also.

I will definitely be picking mine up in Shreveport. I'd rather not use the first tank to check the mileage numbers so I'll spend a small fortune dragging my 22' enclosed there and back.
Going with Marshmallow and 56 Belair wrap scheme in Red or Blue (see Joshua Caldwells Avatar). Extras, If I Can get 'em, pop open rear windows, sun roof and open fenders. Manual trans for sure. Startin' to Jones already!!

Hi and welcome from Oregon, trock59. I know you have been posting elsewhere on the forum so no need to encourage you to jump right in. Good job! Please fill out the survey in the Reservation forum so your name will show up on elioowners map. Although, Florida is getting a bit heavy. If all of you travel together to get your Elios you may have a line as long as the state. Enjoy the Elio journey to production and ownership. See you next year in my 2015 Elio. :-) Z
