Where Do You Stand Now?

My mistake, LOL. Me. That’s funny, I thought you were one doing the stirring. It’s cool.

BTW I see Elio posted about the plasma coated engine cylinder bores on FB but didn't notice anything about production start date..

Good to see the progress on the motor. It was a good boost.

Great rule of thumb in QC/QA & in business & personal relationships is: Say what you do & Do what you say.............

EM web site hits close to 1 mil visitors this year, only 15K+ reservations. I was hoping the conversation rate would be way higher. Not to concerned about not getting a car, just a little for the companies longevity. JMO

I get that. But I really think once people see the car in production, there will be a lot more interest. I see a lot of people, even on here, that say they will not commit until they at least see something going on at the plant or waiting for a definate production date.

This is the only time I have seen people place money on something that hasn't been produced.. Not like Elio has produced cars and they are releasing a new model.. I feel 15,000 deposits is huge for something like this Craig! The vast majority of us haven't seen more than a picture online..

You think? After one million. Even with the $100 returnable?
I'm sure you will agree the production car is no major leap from the concept.
Most everyone on this site was sold on site. JMO it should be more.

Craig,
Look at what humans are. Not what you are. They can't be trusted to pay their electric bill on time without the threat of penalties. The logic of the masses is not logic, they own the world through being given credit, not advancing credit.
It is amazing that they found 15,000 that will put their money where their dream is

Yes realize that people are used to seeing a car then test driving it before even considering buying it.. This is totally unconventional and remember Elio can change this prototype in any way they please at any time.. I was very reluctant to place money on this yet to be produced vehicle and still wonder if I made a wise choice..

So far the return is better than direct mail used to be i.e., @1%.....
