The P5: What Would You Change?

Again, Copyright problems with the Faucet Manufacturer of the same name. But I like the concept.

I think you meant trademark, and it's doubtful there's a trademark issue. Virtually no possibility of dilution, confusion or tarnishment between a three wheeled Delta vehicle and a Delta faucet. Two completely separate and distinct products in two completely different markets.

There's no consumer confusion between Delta Airlines and Delta faucets, is there?

I was never a fan of the Trikke name because to me it always reminded me of the Trikke scooter, a toy.

I like just calling it an Elio S1. Or if you wanted to go with racier naming, Elio X1. "Quick Robin, to the X1!" "Holy three-wheeled hotness, Batman!"

"Trikke!" sounds like something an Aussie might yell when spotting an Elio for the first time.

All that Greek stuff and tri stuff and "ElioTrident" didn't come up??

Maybe you're right, but I can't see Disney letting it go unchallenged with their Delta Fighter from Star Wars.

I liked those Delta starfighters and how they evolved toward the TIE design. However, I still don't see as a possibility any significant consumer confusion between a fictional starfighter and a real, Earth-bound vehicle.

And if Disney has a problem with Elio, they would almost certainly get pushback from real airplane manufacturers that already produce delta-wing airplanes and use "delta" in the names of those planes.

I'm not sure if I want a Dent on my car, let alone three dents

How about a symbol that's unpronounceable.

When can I expect my Elio car? I have been waiting over a year. We going to be able to turn our orders in for them. Is there anything else I need to do to speed this up. I will do anything I need to do so that I may speed things up

Hi- big reach out from the Emerald City, and welcome to all things Elio. You happen to be fortunate to have only been waiting a year. There's some poor devils here with history going back many years.
However, your timing is perfect. If you haven't been following the evolution, there is now an acceleration of progress .

That's what Chevrolet thought when they came out with the Beretta.
