You are correct, Soothsayer; Kathy does not provide any evidence of how she arrives at her COST; but neither has Paul Elio provided any DATA at how he arrives at the ‘unbelievable’ low cost of $6,800….. not in the last seven YEARS that he has been ‘hawking’ this machine. And he has not built and tested ONE Pre-Production vehicle…. to validate any of his ‘claims’.

In reply to Kathy. There is Elio's most dedicated stalker, Kathy! How did I know you would be making your negative comments here. Please let us know how YOU calculated the cost to be over $19000. A Nissan Versa, which is a CAR you can buy today, sells for $11,990. This is literally about half of that car, so why exactly would it cost $7000 more? Please remind us where YOU got your wealth of automobile manufacturing knowledge? What school did you get your engineering degree from? Remind us all Kathy, how much money have you personally put into this company?

Elio Motors Refunds – You may file a refund request with The Federal Trade Commission. Mr. Elio has collected over $16 million in deposits from customers by claiming false production dates and a false sales price. He gave false production dates knowing he did not have the money to produce these while continuing to collect millions from potential customers. He has stated he is several hundred $$$ away from achieving his advertised price of $6800. He has been off on so many projections that if he admits being several hundred $$$ away from $6800 then its suspected he is probably actually several thousand $$$ away. He does not disclose to the public that he states in the purchase agreement that he does not guarantee the sales price or to ever produce or sell these cars. You don’t see this disclosure until you have made the decision to buy this and get all the way to the payment screen after entering your personal information. From there you have to scroll down a drop box to read that he promises nothing for your deposit. Once you add all the costs he has not considered it is suspected this should sell for over $19,000. He has been asked to guarantee the advertised $6800 price to those who have placed deposits. He could still charge more after production to those without reservations. He seems to ignore questions about price. He is spending the deposits he collects on travel, hotels, salaries, marketing, etc. to get more deposits.

The problem with being $240 million short … is not having the $240 million you need to start making cars. The steps that they are taking to fix legislation are important ones. But unless someone steps in an makes a huge investment (not likely) then there will never be an Elio on the road. I can’t help but wonder if the real goal of the legislative battles is to try and spread word and start conversations about the car. In which case – bravo! But … you still need that money. What’s the plan there?

getting laws changed is the LEAST of their problems right now. Getting funding so that they can actually start production is their most pressing problem…they are still $230 million short. And if they don’t don’t find funding soon, it’s likely that they will lose their lease on the Shreveport plant.
