Since I'm in New Mexico I have not paid much attention to the developments in MN but I am certain one of the forum members who is in your area will respond. Here you will find friendly people (mostly) who will help provide the latest information on the development and production of our Elio's. Welcome to this historical journey and I hope you will become a future Elio owner as well.I keep hearing that there is or a dealer is coming to Mn in the Mall of America can someone tell me when and where? Please!!!!!!!
If you are referring to the typical auto dealership, the answer is never. Hi and welcome from Oregon, mrbo. I encourage you to read the information in the Elio Store on the Elio Motors website. It gives a lot of information about how and where the Elio will be sold. The when is still an unknown but the expected production date is 3rd quarter next year. We are all patiently or impatiently awaiting that great day. There is a lot of information also on this website - enough to keep you informed and/or entertained for many an hour. This is a very diverse group who for the most part truly believe in the Elio and the Elio Team. If you are a traveling man there is a list of scheduled Elio Events in the Events forum here and on the News Tab on the EM website. Members here have been very kind in sharing their photos, videos and stories about those events. We have a wait but I for one intend to use the time to learn more about Elio, meet new people and save more money towards my Elio. And I intend to thoroughly enjoy the adventure of watching, hearing and telling others about the Elio progression towards production and ownership. Next year in my Elio! :-) ZI keep hearing that there is or a dealer is coming to Mn in the Mall of America can someone tell me when and where? Please!!!!!!!
Having grown up in Minnesota, I can understand the strategic location for a retail center in South Minneapolis and Bloomington makes perfect sense. I hope your wishes come true.
What I can't figure out is how the three wheel configuration is going to work on the roads during the harsh winters. The snow ruts that accumulated in my neighborhood by January or February where pretty bad and I had a pretty rough ride in my Beetle. I can only imagine what would happen to the third wheel of an Elio trying to traverse some of those less than clean roadways.
I suppose it could always be relegated to a three season vehicle...but that would make me pretty mad as an Elio owner...hummmm.
