Just as important: will the P5 be the (apparently) traditional Creamsicle color?

they've announced the P5 will be "Red Hot"

I'm pretty sure the P5 is gonna be Red. I think that was the result of the vote, but if I'm wrong I'm sure somebody here will correct me

*edit* Beat to the punch

Well if they had gotten more done in the beginning they wouldn't have to spend long days trying to finish on time.
First time we saw photos you could tell they hadn't spent a lot of time on it.

Not associated to the P5, Jerome thought there was a good chance they would brighten up the current blue to be more like the P5 conceptuals.

Not being privy to their project management charts, I'm going to cut them a lot of slack. WE don't know what their bottlenecks were, i.e., what could they get done BEFORE recving the engine and installing it, or what constraints their suppliers are operating under.

Yeah, the real world in manufacturing has a LOT of variables that can't always be anticipated. No matter how much you try, there are always bizarre circumstances that show up unannounced.

That's why a good manager will ask for AND RECEIVE a list of unanticipated problems.

Yeah, but your "good" manager will fall for this line every time:

"I anticipate no problems, therefore all problems will be unanticipated."

Gotta speak their language. I speak pretty good BS, though not with the fluency I speak shop floor cussin, my native tongue.

Don't know if this is really relevant to this thread, but for some reason my brain (if any) said I should see if I could find out when Elio appears on the schedule at the LA show.
The Schedule has Elio slotted at 10:00 am to 10:25 am on the 19th.

JEBar if this is more relevant elsewhere feel free to move it.

its interesting to see that of the "2015 Top Ten Startups of the New Automotive Industry" while all are related to the industry the Elio is the only vehicle to make the list ... with all of the other companies we've seen mentioned recently that are trying to bring a vehicle to the market, I find that to be a bit surprising
