hi smitty901, i'm sorta in the same boat as u. i only stumbled on this product a week ago and after following the site, find that it's an interesting bunch of folks that are cheering this design on. the design concept has been around for a long time and i even considered cutting the front end off of a fwd car and cobbing one together for myself. not having the shop space and equipment to do it with kept me in the wanting stage. after seeing the planning, styling, engineering and cost that this machine is being offered for, i went all in and might even bump that before the 1st of the month. welcome to the asylum!

16 granddaughter was a bit guarded about it, 6 year grandson said cool. Wife said it would not fit with the other motorcycles.
She then said why not you spent more than that on a rifle.
The Smart Car is a dumb car I did my home work on it long ago requires 91 octane fuel and gets 38 to maybe 40 MPG. Heck Wife current Focus gets 32 to 38 on 87 and it is a real car.
I did not jump in for the MPG but the chance to do something different. It won't replace my Bike or car but I can see have a blast with it.
And I am betting 16 year old granddaughter may enjoy it.
That is if we ever see it.

i would add that with the world situation at the moment, it a little difficult to be optimistic that it's gonna happen as scheduled. someone on the forum started a poll tonight about the number of us that would venture the whole $7000 up front and it got quite a few participants, including me.

I think I am going to pull the All In $1000 trigger tomorrow morning. This will replace my hybrid for HOV commuting.

Hi and welcome from Oregon, Smitty901 and viii_ball. Congratulations on your reservations at whatever level. This is such an exciting adventure and just think how much you will have when you drive your Elio to work. There will always be naysayers to any endeavor that is different. I hope you both enjoy this exciting journey to Elio production and ownership. :-) Z

Welcome to the club Smitty901! I did the 1k All-In non-refund in the middle of July (after a full day of gathering data on the Elio). I'm not worried at all. Hey, tell your doubting co-workers that the astronauts actually "did" land on the moon! ;)
