Things Still Up In The Air ...

In the other picture you had referred to (which only showed a wheel, not the entire vehicle) I could have sworn it was a picture of the RF.
Now that you can see the entire vehicle yes, it is most visible on the LEFT front/Port/Driver's side/Dat one by da O in Elio side.

Plus you can see that it was not modified by Photoshop.

LOL.

LOL.

THIS FORUM IS MORE FUN THAT I USUALLY HAVE. WITH ALMOST NO EFFORT. WE CAN NOW DO THE STARBOARD, RIGHT, PASSENGER SIDE, RIGHT?

Hello Coss,
Thanks for reaching out with your concerns
Sheet molded composite is still the design direction but we are looking at other materials, i.e. steel and other automotive skin materials that could help us make the vehicle better, safer, more reliable and improve upon our four tenets. All changes and potential improvements must fit within our four tenets and our existing timeline to be considered.

Thanks,
Elio Team

I followed up again after that and there is a possibility that the outside body panels might end up being steel; but it has not been a locked in decision as of yet.

So your statement: "Body Panels on the Elio must be made of some type of plastic or composite material."
Is not true at this point in time.
They do not HAVE to be made of plastic or composite.

For me to purchase one...they do.

 

[Coss]

For me to purchase one...they do.

Then I guess the Elio isn't for you then.
When ever you get something else, come back and let us know about it.

Can you see the little pink arrow on the PORT side? Yes, it's the "driver's side". This isn't the best picture of it. I've seen a better picture of it but can't find that picture. Anyway, here it is.

in the RV industry we often use "Door Side" and "Off Door Side" .... that would fit nicely with an Elio ..

Except it is reverse of an RV.

correct, but there is no confusion on the door side or off door side of an Elio .... unfortunately, with RV's it works most of the time but some now have doors on both sides and a few floor plans have a door in the rear wall ..
