Oklahoma City Elio Or What I Learned In School Today

And take their markup adding to the cost of the vehicle.

And the Dealers won't add on a couple K for themselves?

Not if EM is wise about it. The dealer won't get rich on the base model. The add on's and customizations will be where the dealer's score.

EM will be selling options +20%. What do you think the dealership markup will be.

(Based on EM adding 20% to parts)

I have no idea however they'll have a distinct advantage in being able to show off the changes which will make them move quicker. There will also be doubt be a flood of dealer options. (pin striping, graphics) low cost high mark-up

It's no secret that existing dealers have already asked to get in on the game. I would take very little work for most dealerships to make room for an EM section.

The only good thing about the way new cars are distributed in America is that it keeps people busy who would otherwise be rifling through your silverware drawer while you are at the movies.

I took the Beginner's GA MC Safety Course after having ridden for more than 30 years. It was all about safety. I learned many new things and discovered numerous things that I'd been doing wrong.

I guess I'm the outlier on that one.... I took the CA MC Safety course and thought it was one of the biggest wastes of a weekend of all time. When the instructor asked our opinion at the end of the class the conversation went something like, "It was a waste of my time. You didn't say a single thing that wasn't in the first 15 pages of my motorcycle's user's manual." "Who reads the user's manual??" "Obviously, I do."

What's the big deal about getting a MC endorsement ?

The big deal, as I've said already, is Elio would lose a huge chunk of prospective buyers w/that requirement and IMHO would fail.
And I would be shocked if an Auto Cycle classification was enacted by our govt in my lifetime, let alone Elios', who really is in a Catch 22 situation.

Have any of you read EM website about how they are going to sell Elio and the options? There are NO dealers. Paul Elio is totally against the traditional dealership model. Why do you think the auto dealerships are fighting Tesla. They also don't want the traditional dealership model. The price in Elio's sales room will be the price with a 20% markup for profit. That's it. No packages, no add ons. Anyone get it yet?
