I have mixed feelings. I do not have any idea what Elio has done before now, but Sondors has done stuff, so he already has a track record of making things happen. On the other hand, he is asking less than the Arcimoto is charging for a super-sized electric Elio.
That price does not seem realistic to me.
Anyway, I created a new thread when I first saw it: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...0-a-35853.html

The last time we checked in with [...] Elio Motors, it had $4,000 cash left in the bank, and it was attempting to raise $100 million from investors on Wall Street.

I have more in the bank than they do! How much debt do they have?

Elio Motors, for its part, had no comment. In a response to an email from Jalopnik, a spokesperson said: “Elio Motors does not comment on speculation.”

Wrong, it is mathematics.
But the change is a complete abandonment of the original business plan, to make a car. We'll see if there is any headroom left in ICOs, or if they are late to that party too.

Boy am I glad I never "invested" in Elio. Many I think that did are no where near as happy as me. PT Barnum said something about those folks. Something to the effect of "There's a sucker born every minute"... and 2 to take him. This has been going on so long that I don't remember when it started. (sometime in 2011, 2012???)

Even though many who also didn't blow money on Elio wished it to be serious and succeed with its trikes, now it's seemingly impossible to not consider it as a scam.

I'd prefer an Edison 2 with a Scuderi split-cycle engine anyway.
