I agree with your assessment 100%. Production is typically 2 years out after the first prototype vehicle rolls off the line. And that's at just about any major automobile company with proper resources (financial and human resources) at their disposal, not a scrappy startup with questionable preproduction funding. While I am still optimistic that the Elio will eventually be built, I think Elio's stated timeline is still too optimistic, even with implied favorable results in powertrain testing.

For the record, I have to be hopeful - I've got $1000 sunk into this and car 5754 with my name on it. I went in believing it would eventually be built, but did have questions on the timing, and I still do.

"Initial production" maybe...

What is that? Is it real, or just a really good drawing?
