Just the opposite JP, just the opposite..we all want the vehicle to be built, but many of us have realized EM will never be the company to build it. Just look at the results so far..
How many people called it a scam?? How many people do not believe they can build it for $6800? How many people thought they should have started out in a smaller factory and built their way to up to a full assembly line operation. How many heard the god awful sound of an elio without a exhaust system installed and said "are you kidding me?"
Elio had 5 million dollars when he left Pontiac Michigan..he could have bought a dozen Hyundai 3 cylinder kappa motors in 2012..and trannies, and built 10-12 finished elios and called them 2012's...then built 100 of the P3's...then 500 of the P4's...investors would be knock, knock, knocking on the door.
but no, he had to be so stubborn about the $6800, the 5 star and the 84 mpg..
If the original P2 with the Hyundai motor got 78, who the hell would have cared?..and thousands would have paid $30,000 for a elio commuter that got almost 80 mpg.
He needs to turn it over to someone who has the ability to make a completed elio and show it to the public..his design company ESG Engineering just cannot do it. I know that because it has been 8 years.
Put some pressure on EM, my ass is tired of sitting and waiting for something to happen.
