Has anyone been able to sit in the P5 unit? I wonder if they changes the rear seat headroom at all?

I saw it at NAIAS, but I've grown tired of the shenanigans. I didn't even get in, stopped, took some pictures, and left.

They claim real production by the end of the year (2016 for the record).

Can't wait to see 50,000 new elios running around, but color me skeptical...

The race is on. Arcimoto also predict a 2016 ship date.
I think the Arcimoto SRK will make a better pizza delivery vehicle.  |

The race is on...which will disappear first!
I apologize for my pessimism, and I genuinely do hope the Elio comes about (not familiar with the Acrimoto), but I no longer have hope left- if that makes sense. I desire it, my heart wants it- but my mind says "LOL, you for real??" and is starting to win my internal battle :/

I gave up hope on Elio quite some time ago. Early on, I paid them for a very expensive t-shirt and bumper sticker. I even contacted them offering to provide assistance if possible, since I am a senior level Machine Design Engineer with experience in the vehicle industry. No reply.
It sadly appears to be a shell game. Even if Paul Elio has the best of intentions, the team around him is taking him for a ride.

Unfortunately, it's almost always the other way around, it's the TOP manglement that lies & cheats as the unknowing underlings sweat & toil for success. |

I wonder if Uber would OK it? It would be Uber XL in India. Maybe add a trailer
