Thanks. I'm not familiar with finding things or with how the site works, yet.
Have you noticed the size of parking spaces, recently? They seem to be getting smaller. Three wheels is good.
Keep in mind the Elio ISN'T very narrow so road width won't benefit from having Elios around.
For quick comparison - Ford Fusion front wheel track is 62.7" while the Elio's front track is 66.8"
The idea of a standard, interchangeable battery pack is a good concept. Not sure that any manufacturer would be willing to take that chance until something better than lithium batteries comes along.
There is good news and bad news. Having the wider wheels and the narrower body should prevent body dings. But wheel well dings and tripping while walking between cars WILL HAPPEN.This is what fellow forummer Ty had to say about that:
Hard to tell about wheel dings, I would expect some dings, but on the other hand you can see them in your line of sight, and that's not true for other vehicles.There is good news and bad news.

I like it! And what...about 10 years to wait???Updates to design, should be a viable alternative to Elio and Solo

Sondors raised his Million. If he follows through with completing the prototype by years end like he says, he's on his way to success with his $10K EV vision. I'll have a few thousand miles on my Solo by that time!I like it! And what...about 10 years to wait???
