I would have respect for them.
But as it is they have wasted most of their money on exec wages and promotion and lobbying.

Elio probably figured that it would be easier to bring on big investors if they solved some of the legal issues surrounding the product first. Who'd want to invest in a product that customers can't legally use (or not without a great amount of difficulty)?
That actually strikes me as a pretty savvy move on Elio's part, even if it did delay the product.
