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! :)

Sondors has Asian manufacturing connections that would allow him to ramp production rather quickly, much like EMV.......so possibly 3 years or less on his production start. Sondors is smart, organized, and knows how to pull the right people together to get things done.
He did it against all odds with his E bike, I'm sure he'll pull it off again :D

The wait for the next 3wheelers (SONDOR, ELIO, etc) won't be too unbearable while you're enjoying your SOLO! Bring it on! :D

It's a world of difference between those two vehicles, of course. Besides that, I heard some pretty unflattering things about his bike. Like what was promised vs. what was delivered. Pretty sure its in these forums somewhere.

It does seem like the Sondors three wheeler is on track and will be priced realistically. I look forward to its arrival. It has been many years waiting for the Elio....

Me too! I like everything about the Sondor's EV........styling, drivetrain, number of seats, and pricepoint. Curious to see if he can get the Prototype built by years end with the $Million dollars of round one funding.

Dear xxxxx
You may have caught on after seeing a few of our recent updates on our campaign and social media pages – we have officially chosen to build the Model SONDORS prototype in Italy.
And what you may have also noticed, is that our design and engineering teams are making incredible progress.
In my opinion, there’s no better place than Italy when it comes to designing a car. Italy, the birthplace of great classics like Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati – surely amongst the most timeless and beautiful cars the world has ever seen.
We are extremely fortunate to have partnered with some of the best designers and engineers known from around the globe. There is truly an impressive collaboration of highly-skilled professionals working together in the making of Model SONDORS, and we couldn’t be here without you.
While in Italy, we have finalized the exterior and interior design of Model SONDORS, and are completing 3D surfacing - just as we’ll be using for the final prototype build.
Our choice for the exterior has been inspired by my lifelong passion for Gran Turismo with a modern edge. This is something you can catch a glimpse of within the images we’ve already shared. The Model SONDORS will undoubtedly make a powerful statement for the future of electric car design, with its striking front and profile view and impeccable integration of the 3rd wheel — it’s a guaranteed headturner. It’s what I expected from working with Italian designers, and what you’d expect from SONDORS.
We’ve selected an interior that really delivers the “wow” factor. It resembles a creative space that’s both roomy and inviting. It’s simple and clean, yet intelligent and innovative. We’ve cut out the unnecessary bulkiness of today’s standard car interior, while enhancing passenger comfort and an exhilarating driver experience. The entire layout has been designed with purpose - focusing on meeting the practical needs and conveniences of modern-day transportation.
Stay tuned, as I’ll soon have big news to share about the choice we’ve made for the Model SONDORS motor. We’ve spent a lot of time with multiple motor manufacturers, and will unveil our choice within the month of April.
I couldn’t be happier with the progress we’ve made thus far, or more excited for the day we’ll be revealing it all to you.

And, if you haven’t already, visit our Facebook page to see pictures of our progress here in Italy –– be sure to leave a comment to let us know what you think.
Sincerely,
Storm Sondors
