Hello From Michigan! :)

[CaribbeanZombie]

Lansing area. $250 all-in, so far & working on the next $250! I'm super excited about getting my Elio & I've spent over 20 hours in research in my first 3 days of hearing about this vehicle! Sounds like lotsa ups & downs, but hopefully the gov't loan comes through & the partnership with PepBoys really helped solidify things for me! Just found this forum tonight & I'm loving all the info...thanks to everyone & hello from Michigan!

Hi and welcome from Oregon, CaribbeanZombie. You have your work cut out for you reading all the posts on here but you will learn a lot in the process. We have a Reservation Map and Survey thread in the Reservation forum. I hope you will go there so we can add your marker to our map. This is a very exciting journey and I am sure you will enjoy it as you share it with us. See you next year driving our Elios. :-) Z

Thanks for the warm welcome all...glad to be here! Spoke to someone from Elio a coupla days ago...either Elio or an aftermarket supplier will most likely be offering an upgraded suspension (I'm planning on driving mine from Michigan down to Central America & 6" clearance ain't gonna cut it)! I also asked about a scissor door, as opposed to the standard opening door, but was told that prolly won't happen! :'( Oh well, she's a beauty regardless!!! Anyone know if there is a release date for the P5 & if they're planning on putting the actual production motor in it?

Welcome to ElioOwners.com from Atlanta, GA!

Just a few weeks ago the P4 was actually upgraded with some nice adjustable coil-over shocks by EM's supplier Peterson Spring. These will very likely be one upgrade option once the vehicle goes on sale:

You are not the first person to ask about a scissor door so even if it is not an official option I do expect someone will eventually make an aftermarket conversion kit:

There is no public release date on the P5/E0. We do hope to hear some news about it soon, hopefully a month or so. As far as we know the P5/E0 is supposed to be a fully outfitted pre-production prototype and should be outfitted with the initial pre-production versions of the IAV/Elio engine as well as the initial pre-production version of many other components such as the dashboard, wiring harness, etc...

We are very glad to have you here! You have joined a very diverse group of people from all over the country who really enjoy discussing everything there is to know about this interesting vehicle. I hope you enjoy your time here reading about and/or discussing all there is to know about Elio Motors.

We have a survey we like reservation holders to fill out if they wish as it really helps us visualize the growing numbers and locations of future Elio Owners. For now information visit this link: http://www.elioowners.com/threads/elio-reservation-map-and-survey.1129/

We also have a thread for our many current and former service members to introduce themselves. If that applies to you visit this thread: http://www.elioowners.com/threads/military-service.1118/

The forum search function is a great tool as, in the vast majority of cases, if you have a question or an idea it has likely already been discussed.

If you ever happen to have any issues while on this forum please be sure to notify a staff member as we are here to help.
