Anyone here looking to get an Elio when they hit the streets?
If you haven't heard of it, it's startup car company that plans to produce a three wheeled, two seat (tandem) vehicle. Projected to start production mid-December. Their design goals are 84 MPG, 5-star crash safety rating, base price $8,600 and 90% American parts assembled in the US. Actually a shut-down GM plant that used to assemble Hummer H2's located in Shreveport, Louisiana.
They're taking reservations, if you go for the top level, $1,000 non-refundable, what they call I'm All In, they issue you a Spot In Line number which indicates once they start production for consumer vehicle's that's where yours will roll off the line.
I've my SIL #17471. If they start production in December as planned, after 100 vehicles that are destined for early deployment to some fleet customers, I think mine might get built April or May of 2017.
I have a 84 mile round trip commute, so their projected 84MPG goal looks really good to me.
