Elio cars will never be a thing. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't think these "inventors" are so much interested in developing compelling technology so much as making a profit.

EDIT: I was thinking of Edison2. For some reason I thought they were the same vehicle, but the Edison2 has 4 wheels.

Yes, Elio is a different horse in this on-going "Dog & Pony" marketing scheme. Edison2 shut themselves down.
