The other thing was that the factory churns out 7 colors times two transmissions and nothing else. These go to seven regional fulfillment centers where the 'dealer-installed' options are installed. Daily between 9pm and midnight. For delivery the last 900 miles.
Is the credit card program happening?

The current page talks (in none-quotable kinetic typography) about Apps, Wraps and Enhanced Audio; and Elio Accessories (They're coming)—Make it your own—Design it—Let the world know—It's your Elio.

It sounds to me like they are trying to get their arms around the aftermarket possibilities with some Local Motors clone. Starting with vinyl wraps, good money in that.
