The 2016 date may be more appealing to the crowdsource funding supporters to help guarantee their financial commitments, but it's important to not dissappoint that serious group of small investors. I hope they are right on fourth quarter 2016!

we have been told that info into the crowd funding paperwork that goes to the Feds for approval can be bettered but can be a major problem if it isn't met .... with that being the case, I find it easy to believe that EM is pretty dang certain about the fourth quarter 2016

Someone from EM Tour group told us about "when they submitted the paperwork for the SEC they had to include a date that it would be built by"
I don't think anyone would like to get caught lying to a government agency especially when dealing with the SEC; that would/could get really ugly.

I only tossed a hundred bucks into the pot and I've never expected that the Elio would be on time and under budget .I understand manufacturing and it's complexities .So some day I may receive the great email that states "order excepted" ,production date 8/8/19 .Final cost $8700 and I'll sign the order .
"It'll come in time :D

Elio is no scam and all intentions are honorable , (Zelio told me to say that):D

..............an even more compelling reason to over estimate the production date, some leeway.
