The only way I see any of the SIL people getting a test drive is if they pick up their Elio at the the Shreveport factory. Which is exactly my plan.

I hear ya. I know EM has said in the past that there will be events happening before the start of production for reservationists to attend and be able to drive an Elio. Not a test-drive in the way that we do them now I'm sure, such as a one-on-one with a salesman out for 20-30 minutes. But to be able to drive one all the same.

Hi Heath, welcome to the forum!

Test drives for reservationists are supposed to happen several weeks before production begins. So if you did a $100 refundable deposit, you might be among the first ones to be able to test-drive it. This unfortunately is several months away.
Not for $100 refundable.

"Several months away"... I love your optimism. Assuming we are still on target for building the fleet 100 in December, with some time to get those guys road tested I would not expect public production until maybe spring 2018?

I think the idea of using some of the fleet 100, or maybe a couple built after the fleet vehicles, to be used as touring test drivers would be awesome. That would really get the interest going!
