I'm #1788 and I was given a $500 bonus against the final cost of the vehicle.

With a number that low, you probably received the additional 15% too. So you have $650 against the final cost of the vehicle.

I think we all get it that what
we're kibitzing over is just
math, pure & simple. Elio is
smart enough to employ
some pretty sophisticated
analytics to hedge his bets
& forcast the first years
production & it's potential
results on quite a few levels.....

Nope just the $500.00.

I guess that is the gamble. We know that his production date analysts were wrong. We are counting on his safety analysts, fuel economy analysts, funding analysts, his profit analysts, and his new production date analysts to be right. The question is whether we are going to throw a fit if some or all of those things are wrong as well.

Nope just the $500.00.

I did get a message awhile ago from an early number that he did get more than the $500, as above by Coss

+1. I can't find the email but I know I was notified that I will receive an additional 10% off as I was in before some date, yet a coworker is only getting 5% I believe, because he was a few weeks after me.

Here's what I got awhile back:

Dear Kevin,

As many of you know, the journey of bringing the Elio to market has been an awesome undertaking in which many milestones have been achieved. The engineering is almost complete, the factory is secured, our supplier and service partners are engaged, and we have multiple opportunities for funding to finish the project.

As I have stated in many interviews, the Elio isn’t just about its fuel efficiency or low price, there is no magic to achieving those goals, it’s about the people. The Elio is about the reservation holders that support the project, the many suppliers that have come together to making this happen, the immediate impact on our environment and most importantly bringing back American manufacturing jobs. We think all of the success in engineering, partnerships and support to this point is because the Elio is much more than just a vehicle; it is a movement.

We want to say thank you for your support as well as your understanding of the magnitude of our project. The thank you, which is effective today, is in an additional reservation bonus for those of you that have been with us the longest.

• If your All In reservation or upgrade was made before January 1st, 2014 we will give you an additional 35% when you come buy your Elio. So, instead of receiving 50% bonus on top of your All In reservation amount, this elite group of reservation holders will be receiving 85% of your reservation amount as a thank you for believing in the vision and giving us your support from the very beginning.
• If you have an All In reservation or upgrade from January 1st, 2014 through June 30th 2014, we will add 20% to your reservation bonus taking it to a total of 70%.
• The final group that will receive the reservation and upgrade bonus is for those All In reservation holders from July 1st through December 31st, 2014. If you are in this group, you will receive an additional 15%. This will take your reservation bonus up to a total of 65%.

The reservation bonus is from Elio Motors and it will be reflected in your final invoice for your Elio. The system date for your All In reservation or upgrade will be automatically reflected when you purchase your Elio.

If you have any questions, please email us at the reservation holders only support email - futureowners@eliomotors.com.

Again, thank you for believing in and supporting Elio Motors,

Paul Elio

Wow, I thought it was 15, 10 and 5%, not 35, 20 and 15% BONUS!!!

I'm #1788 and I was given a $500 bonus against the final cost of the vehicle.

So I take back the $650; you'll be getting $850 Bonus for a total of $1,850 against the final cost of the vehicle. (Your $1K deposit plus the $850 off the expected $6,800 = $4,950)
