whoa whoa whoa. Large manufactures will not rely on Elio sales. If they really feared Elio, they would just buy them out.
They will rely on Elio Carbon Credits... Tessa sells theirs as well... There is almost no way for GM, Ford, or Cheverolet will make the CAFE requirements while still making huge trucks. That's what I meant by relying on Elio. The won't fear Elio but rather will use Elio for their credits. I could.see a scenario where Ford buys Elio and keeps them separate.

Gotcha. Now that makes sense.....That's why I mentioned them buying Elio. You could also see where they just buy the Elio, slap the blue oval on it and sell them for a certain price. But then they would pressure Elio to make the cars cheaper. They would jump in BEFORE the Elio takes off IMO if they really thought the Elio was coming out....

Its not about the people like you who seem to have plenty of money. I really don't like seeing anyone lose money. I have been duped due to wanting to believe something.

I'm not saying it "I told you so" a year from now. I'm saying "wait for real results".

I see this as an unnecessary risk. But really I hope it work.....I really do (this line will be ignored by several people). If you are more than willing to take the risk for me to be better off in the future than be my guest. I have just seen some people lose money and it isn't always easy.
Life is full of unnecessary risks, I see people skydiving or having a pet lion or something, it's their choice, unless it's really risky I let people live their lives. I ride motorcycles and have a race truck. It will probably be bacon that does me in anyway.

Bacon, motorcycles and race trucks are all pretty badass. More fun to die those ways than a random rock falling off a cliff.

I agree life is full of unnecessary risks.....but that isn't a good argument for taking an unnecessary risk. Kind of reminds me of the racecar driver saying "I could die from wrecking my race car.....might as well start smoking crack" lol

I have to ask, is that a real poster (wall kind)? If it is, I want to know where I can get a copy. LOL :) Z
Not related to this post. Z, on the Facebook page, Elio said they didn't have a tow limit but "we don't have a figure yet but 700-800 is a good estimate"
I know you were concerned about your little camper.
