How do you get invited to those sorts of events? (I assume that an audience with the President is an invite only thing)

How about some cheddar...at a Detroit deli

There is a door/emblem, not just a mail drop. So you're saying Elio is just a virtual company? <edit, insult removed>- What does that say about a public company that doesn't even have an office staff?

Perhaps you are refering then to the Mesa office? that location is not occupied by Elio. No one home there either.
Are you paying attention?
The address in Phoenix is just a mail drop, not a office location.
I believe I told you this before.
They were building prototypes outside of Detroit at
34005 Autry St. Livonia, MI.

What good does staffing an office in Phoenix do? Yeah, it'd be nice if there was a physical location nearby to go talk to an Elio representative, but that's probably not worth the expense of a staff in the Phoenix office. In today's world, most communication is done digitally or over the phone and the "office staff" are probably also the people coordinating the public events and managing the website. That's just the way business is going. Fewer people wearing more hats, enabled by technology to do their jobs from wherever they are.
Agreed, at the last place I was working, I told people: "my office is wherever I'm at, at that time"
I did have a location I would have items shipped to, or I could go in and have more space to work on something, or I didn't want it in the house.
So yes, Elio Motors is pretty much a Virtual Company, they have the mail drop location, the factory, and they are in and out of the place that is building the prototypes (I think it was called TechnoSports) in Livonia, MI.
State emissions testing is stupid. The Fed already requires new cars to pass strict EPA rules.
It is normally just a money grab. There were affordable, high-efficiency, low emissions cars.....geo metros. Americans only care when money is on the line. If gas is $1/gal, very few would care about econo cars.
I agree that we have the technology for significantly higher mpg cars and can make them affordable, but why would the big guys do that?! IMO (with nothing to back it up), I think big oil pays the auto manufacturers to keep the mpgs down.

I thought States just tested emissions to ensure the Federal guidelines were being met. The $15-$25 it costs to get emissions testing is hardly excessive.
And the person who has
It isn't the cost of the test. It's when someone that has very little money fails the test. They have some beater car with a very small issue that doesn't make a difference. Like a check engine light for a knock sensor. Then they take their $500 beater to the shop and spend $500. It's a burden for these people and they just hope they pass.
