Hi, Just Heard About The Elio 3 Days Ago.

[Dan Bernier]

Just wanted to say hi and say how excited I am about the possibility of having my very own Elio. I will be reserving mine in a few weeks. If I lose my $100 so be it, but I feel it's worth supporting this concept and I'm willing to take a gamble on it.

We need an option like this. Our economy needs this to become a reality. Our wallets need this to happen. This car will have a ripple effect on everything from more individual disposable income, less pollution, less dependency on foreign oil, more jobs for Americans, the list goes on.

Even if this car never makes it to production it will have a positive impact on our future. You can't tell me that the big three auto makers in the US aren't taking notice of all the publicity this is getting. If Elio doesn't produce this vehicle someone else will. It's just a matter of time.

As for production delays, I'm not worried. I work in commercial construction and delays are part of every big venture, especially in something new and "outside of the box". My feelings on this are let him take all the time he needs to do it right.

The one this that will insure this company to fail is to rush out a vehicle that hasn't had all the bugs worked out just to please anxious consumers or to try and create revenue. We've seen it happen with the tesla cars. My thoughts on the vehicle, if it is crap and falls apart in a few years, is I'll have a light weight rolling frame and wheels that I can turn into a fun drag strip project.

Take all the time you need Mr. Elio. We need this to happen, but we need it to be a good product once it's released to the public.

Just my two cents...

Hi and welcome from Oregon, Dan. It is a pleasure to have you aboard. I know how excited I was when I first heard about the Elio from my son in January. By the end of the next week I knew more about it than he did. I knew immediately I wanted an Elio. That has been my goal ever since. I am with you 100% in that I am willing to wait to make sure the Elio is done right the first time. I feel confident that Paul Elio is not going to give in to pressure from possible consumers who are unwilling to wait for a good product at a reasonable price. Well, if it has only been 3 days then you have your work cut out for you. There is a lot to learn here and on EM website. I hope you enjoy this exciting adventure and journey to Elio production and ownership. Next year in my Elio! :-) Z

Dan, welcome to the forum and its friendly helpful people. You seem to have the same enthusiasm that most of us have and it is encouraging. We share the vision of Paul Elio and see this vehicle as doing more than just providing another form of transportation. Thanks for joining us in this historic and exciting journey.

Welcome to the forum Dan. As Jim H had said it is encouraging to see your level of enthusiasm for the Elio and not just about the vehicle itself but what Paul Elio's project represents. kick back, relax and watch the story unfold. Looking forward to your inputs.

Hey Dan,
Once again, Welcome to the "family". Like many families, we have a few "drunk uncles" that tend to spout their discontent at having to wait until the Elio can be done "right". I appreciate your enthusiasm, AND patience. GO ELIO !

Welcome from TN, Dan. We all here mostly are thinking like you. Looking forward to driving an Elio

Welcome aboard the ELIO train. I like your attitude. No matter how bad you wanna get to the station, you'll only arrive when the train pulls in.
