Just shows how much you know. Did you see the last blog post about wipers? Who really thinks about the design for wipers unless you are actually building the car? How much more "fine tuning" do they have to do yet? Not one of us knows that, only the Elio team.

As soon as Elio brought up the conversation about wipers we started thinking about it.
I am even thinking about taking it to the next level and sending Elio a message about a windshield wiper.

Being built and a 90% components from the USA was a selling point. But, at this time I'm not willing to sacrifice my $1K to hold out for for this must have.

Consider a refundable reservation of any amount to log your interest and float Elio some interest on the money held in escrow.

Interest, paperclips or whatever they can do with the cream off the top... Yeah I know... But it's better than nothing.... The reservation is what matters really

My prediction is production will commence in 4th quarter 2017. Come back then or when you start seeing Elios on the road, whichever comes first.

Yes I am an "early on" Elio Reservation #1613 and looking forward to my new 2018 vehicle.

Welcome to this forum. Enjoy your stay.

They are still planning on 2018, a point reiterated in Shreveport just recently by Paul Elio. The little I know, I can't discuss, but that little encourages me. As for the Elio team, they are strongly positive and ready to get rolling in the near future. Definition of "near"? My guess is within 3 months, but not next week. THAT IS A GUESS, NOT INSIDE INFORMATION. I could be utterly, totally wrong. I also don't know how much money is involved... but it's enough to move things forward.

Paul said in Shreveport that the capital market for major start-ups like this one is "broken." I'd like to know a whole lot more about what he means by that -- except that he hasn't succeeded so far in getting large enough commitments to move the needle to "full" or even "3/4". At this point, he has things working, but nothing's landed. Let's all hope that others who can afford it actually see what this car can mean for the nation.

Ekh,

I'm certain you saw this when it occurred last October, but this is the most descriptive I ever recall seeing Paul Elio in his explanation of the broken capital markets for a capital-intensive startup like Elio Motors:

I get the impression American investors want a quick return on their investment and do not want to wait years before seeing those returns.

They may have been spoiled by internet startup investments. If the product is purely internet (like facebook) and no physical product, all you need is office space, computers, and programmers. In no time the product is up and working.
