Two More Prototypes

[KScarguy]

I read on FB, that Paul said there would be a P5 and maybe even a P6 by the end of the year...

I'm sure glad they are not using double letters...(Pa, Pb, Pc, etc...) cause I don't know how long I could wait to Pp

They have some good photoshop skills, they have a white P4 on the main site that looks incredibly real. It's the only P4 I think looks good, I may actually consider that color now although I know I'd be a pain to keep clean.

I'm guessing you meant white. I'm leaning towards that color as well.

Thanks I corrected my post. Darn smartphones. I guess I should have said marshmallow anyway

yeah BUT, it is such a small vehicle you could wipe it down with a paper towel in 10 seconds.

LOL not quite, but I get your point.

IF as Paul states; they will be making 18-26 of these...... and they have not even finished/shown P4 #2 (its been over 7 weeks)..... how are they going to get them MADE and TESTED..... before Production starts 1st or 2nd Qtr 2015? Personally, I like this one:

Seeing pictures like this is great, its another sigh of progress.

The next step is the P5 due out around June which should be very close to the final production Elio including the final engine and transmission. After building and testing the P5 if they feel it needs more tweaking before production they have the option of building a P6.

It is my understanding that the 18-25 prototypes are planned to be built in the fall or winter on a mini production line where they will lay out all the production steps and make any changes before the actual production line starts up. These should be pumped out relatively quickly and will be used mainly for crash testing however some may also be used for test drives prior to production.

I know we like following along however nothing is going to happen fast as these steps are expected to be spread out over the next 9-12 months or so. We just have to be patient and hope they let us know as we move closer to completing each major milestone.
