Looked up battery replacement cost for a Tesla...$12,000 in 2021... don't believe me...ask Elon! Or look it up. Also major battery degradation after less than 25k miles. Also... battery is ruined by road debris. Doubt it...look it up! Nobody spends $6000-10000 a year on a reliable ICE that I've asked... Twilight Zone stuff or maybe a Hyundai or a Yugo!

I liked this part very much as it seems to confirm my near production readiness mantra.
" While we are more than satisfied with our vehicle as currently constructed, we are always keeping an eye on the future."
Cost of battery replacement for Chevy Volt...$15,734.29. 6/15/2017 Transport Evolved. Plus...major battery degradation problems! Plus...EVs have already been around for 180+ years... something better always comes along than the EV according to history. Battery hatred goes WAY back!Is it really constructed yet? Sorry, had to go there...
I think the Elio would be the perfect bridge for the battery haters and over all change haters, but it needs to be made now! That window is practically closed.

$100 kWh by 2030 for a battery pack replacement... impressive?!?!I was going by

Geewiz. Aren't we judgmental around here without knowing all the facts. So maybe you are asking the wrong people? Ask me. I have a 180 mile commute. Gas is hovering around $3 around here for mid grade. 5 to 6 days a week. Today $2.60. Sometimes I do more miles. I recently posted on another thread that I had to submit my gas receipts for insurance reimbursement for various weeks. It was generally over $200. Do the math. Why do you think Im interested in the Elio, Because it come in red???
Oh sorry didn't notice the front page where it clearly states 84mpg -you are making a joke EM isn't pushing that or 5 star safety rating anymoreWhy are you even here? Do you know anything about the Elio? Do you even care?
Right on the front page of Elio's web page, 84mpg:

What car costs 6k a year to maintain, let alone 10k? You are getting screwed if you are paying that much. I can see if you bought a 35k car with no down payment. Car payment alone is $6,400/year, but that's not maintenance, that's the purchase price, which is done through a loan. The Elio costs ~7,500, not including any options. So you can buy several Elios for your 1 car.
Don't get too attached to that 84 mpg unless you have proof to substantiate this beyond what's advertised in EM's website. Trying to argue that ELIO is better than any EV's or ICE out there that's already in our roads is silly. You of course knows the reason why, ELIO is still half baked at this point, none has been tested in real time and none posted and verified by EM themselves that in fact it can do all those things. We all want our ELIO but it's kinda premature to celebrate their glory don't you think? That's being realistic IMHO.$100 kWh by 2030 for a battery pack replacement... impressive?!?!
Do you have a wind or solar installation paid for by a company flex plan? Of course not...gas cost reimbursement matters. Or pay your own way.
