Where Do You Stand Now?

No Risk - No Reward. For taking a risk and supporting the development of this historic vehicle I expect my reward will be driving my Elio before Christmas next year

.....And a $500 discount...If it happens. And I think it WILL !

Jumped for a un-refundable grand about three weeks ago. "10" it will be made! When "7" probably not till 2016.

Just spent over four hours talking to the EM people in Columbus on Sat.
Went from 100% to 1000.

My Elio shirt is still in the bag it came in. All the Harley 'T' shirts I have bought, over the years, want add up to the price of my one Elio shirt.

Just a follow up, there are now 15 people registered to Elio Motors, a new title of "Product Specialist" has appeared, and currently 5 have removed their names, (as compared to 4 previously).
Also new is Nicole, VP Marketing -

Happy 4th of July. I am all in today$. Love the concept of this car and want to support making this happen. Not sure where I will be on the list as it is probably north of 5000 by now based on the numbers indicated by board members. I am about a 4-5 on the likelihood this will come to pass as they seem undercapitalized (my guess as an accountant). I am counting on a third of the people in line in front of me to crap out and buy something else out of need or frustration as evidenced by the negativity on this thread. Love the looks of this car but it will not replace the 1998 Crown Vic I drive today and will keep. It will be a toy and I am sure it will be 10K plus OTD even with a MT (for me anyway). The key to its success will be aftermarket participation in options...My wife will tolerate me buying but she will not likely never ride in it or drive it - or so she says! Nor will my kids. Of course they will be wrong and they will recant! I will check in from time to time but will not participate in the hand wringing a watching the pot boiling mentailty here. People all in have to be prepared for the possibility that they will lose at least some of their deposit for the opportunity. Keep the faith and roll with Paul!

CJ, welcome to the forum where you will find the latest information about the Elio. Yes, there are plenty of pessimists but more optimists. Many of us see this as an investment in the future of transportation and know full well that there is no guarantee. None the less we are committed to the Elio and those of us who have been following this for some time gain more confidence each day. Hope you find the forum informative and the journey to Elio ownership rewarding.

Welcome CJ In a recent interview they said that they are currently fully capitalized enough to produce 25 final prototypes over the coming year with the IAV engines in them and with commitment for enough to go into production pending the result of those prototypes.
