At about 20 times the price of an Elio, and yet orders coming in, they have the means to build them and break even while doing so - something Elio realistically could never achieve, even if they had their production line running.

This is not an one man fancy. It is a whole team of ex-students who built the Stella solar race car. They can build more cars.
