The E-series Build.

[RUCRAYZE]

Getting old ain't for pussies, but it sounds like you are taking good care of your health to spend as much time with your new granddaughter as possible.........and your new "baby" the Elio upon delivery.

Thanks Rickb, I'm trying- ain't we all!!

Would you like to see the results of weekly proctoscopic exams also?

If they are on the Elio...YES!

Didn't realize what old was about 'till I went in for a spinal fusion and came out with a pacemaker installed.
The cute little girl who ran diagnostics on it last week told me that it's only active 4% of the time and the battery is good for at least 5 more years. The good part is 96% of the time it does nothing. The bad part is that other 4% of the time the Grim Reaper is knocking. Maybe that's why I not a big battery fan. Every 8 or 9 years they have to cut open my chest, dig the old unit out and put a new one in. Not fun at all.

There has to be a better way using induction.

Ouch. Hopefully they are better at it each time, and/or your unit installed is less intrusive. Maybe it will be an out-patient procedure one day.

My grandson, 12, just diagnosed with bone marrow cancer. So, I get it.

I am reminded of a stand-up comedian I once heard. She said, " I have MS. What have your got?" I was dark humor. We all have something to contend with. So we lend support to those who need it now. Hang in there.

I was under the impression that was going to be the purpose of the P5, but there were many noticeable unresolved design and engineering issues after the unveil.

Maybe that is where Roush comes in to finalize those unresolved design and engineering issues.

That's a good point. The Elio Concept is a rather simple vehicle. Vehicle design and engineering specifications can be done using CAD design and engineering software down to the nuts and bolts. EM engineers have been working on this a long time and haven't built a final prototype on which to base E series builds for testing. Perhaps Roush will be the partner that was needed to finally reach that important production milestone and are working on it as we speak. I was hoping Roush would kick it up a notch to expedite build both the design freeze prototype and the E builds needed for testing. Go Roush!

Just got the Momentum v47 email. It says the majority of the body panels will be fiberglass... No mention of the SMC panels.

I wonder how real world a CAD design can be? It might look good or work well on a computer but until they build it and test it there may be some issues that Roush can improve upon.
