Update Time !!!​

Questions to ask
1) Does the P5 come with production sound proofing?
2) Does it have OBD-II capabilities and are the limited by EM? If so how?
3) What is the current state of the turbo? Is it in the works? How far along is it?
4) Now knowing that they will use PPC coloring can they give the color specs for any of the colors? (Thank you TY for this knowledge)
5) What are the plans for yellow? Come on there has to be some, you can't upset that many people.
6) When will the options list for the Elio be listed? Possible date? (Could answer a lot of customization questions)
7) What are the standard options that are confirmed?
8) Will the owners' manual be physical or PDF? When might we get a sneak peek online?
9) Numbers heard are 19,000 in 90 days. Is that correct? Is that calendar or working days?
10) Are you seeing more new people or established fans of the Elio at the events you are attending?
11) When will the vehicle for handsome pre-order holder #11492 be ready?

Pictures requested
1) Front suspension : how it comes out of the body panel, what the covering looks like
2) Exhaust port : Location (probably get an undershot for clearance if possible too)
3) Interior : With a tape measure for dimensions if possible
4) Dash : specific without Skyz system if possible (no tape measure)
5) Side mirrors : size and are they manual or power

Measurements
1) Height to bottom of license plate both laden and unladen
2) From seat to ceiling in backseat
3) Overall width of front of vehicle (specific to parking between 2 poles, not wheel width)
4) Trunk : Size dimensions, Width of opening

General observation
1) Is there a gas cap or not (as Corvette fill spot)
2) Are there 2 armrests? Where are they located... part of the seat... part of the door panel... combination of both?
3) Are the turn/ interior/ side marker/ tail(brake) lights incandescent or LED?

CRAP! Pam told me about the wheel opening!!! I forgot about that till you mentioned it. Basically, forget what the P5 render looks like. Picture the P4 wheel opening with a rubber surround... The way she described it, it seemed like it would just extend the lip towards the suspension about an inch or a bit more. Anyway, it won't be enclosed like they show in the rendering.

Okay, on to a bit more.
(questions to ask)
4. Red will be on the P5 will be the final version and they will supply the info. The other colors aren't finalized yet.
5. No yellow. Sorry. There are only 7 paint booths and that limits their capabilities. They will probably introduce limited colors but not necessarily yellow. Sorry. (they didn't rule yellow out but didn't say the first alternate color would be yellow)

General observation
1. There will be no gas cap.

That's all I have.

Whew! What a a list! related ground clearance question is -- where's the low point?
Also, is there a belly pan? This has been discussed often, but no answer has been provided. If not, is it on the option list?

GREAT, that will enable me to confirm that HOT RED is the color for me.

Word of advice; make sure to have all of these questions printed out when you go, and write the answers in.
If you try to do it from memory, something (question or answer) will get left out.

I don't know what you mean, I have a perfect memory. Now what forum am I on again....?

You are so close to the showing, why don't you go and get the information?

There are some great questions that haven't been asked before, so I don't think anyone entrusted with the thoughts and wishes from everyone here wants to have a chance of missing something. We're all counting on him <remember, no pressure >

He is going, therefore the compilation of the list.
