My biggest problem with the Elio is I think they are sucking up all the oxygen in the room killing off possible competition by making claims that can't be met and having the claims believed.
The only thing I agree with you on is the creator makes a wage either way.

I do not believe there would be any competition to the Elio, cause let's face it all their competition was in the process of going bankrupt 2008-2010.

Very little has ever existed in the 3 wheel space. To make a 3 wheeler popular would just take changes in tax title license and gas prices.

Also again Subaru built a standard trike out a very inefficient 60's micro car which was dimensionally bigger than the Elio and managed 100 mpg
With effort any of their claims could be true.

I view Elio similarly to apt era in that they won't crap and get off the pot.
But I think the likelihood they will is greater though.
