The car is so possible it's silly. The way Elio is going about (not) producing it makes it seem that this isn't actually about producing a car.

He says they're 87% there parts-wise and 98% there price-wise. He's sacrificing 100% of actual results to chase that 13% and 2% of hypothetical results. As if charging $500 over the marketing hype for a car that's only EPA rated at 81 mpg is worse than not selling any cars.
