Elio's website has been down for about a week and I'm seeing alerts like, "Only 2 days til Elio Black Friday." I wonder what they're brewing.

Elio sweatshirt with reservation. That's my guess. If they brought the 50% back for one day, the 25% people probably wouldn't like that so much.

Order today and in 2015 you'll receive an invitation to a catered Thanksgiving dinner in the very same assembly plant where your Elio will be built just twelve months later.

The line in the sand...
If they don't have some significant number of cars rolling off the line by next christmas, we're done, it's vaporware.
There can only be so much prevaricating and hand waving.

My guess is we'll see the P5 with the new motor - and it will be painted black.

I am uncertain why the city mileage is so low for this trike, if my subaru can get 40's city real world but has a carb'd small gas 2 cycle engine there must be a lot of low hanging fruit available for this 800lb trike with a modern 4 cycle. Perhaps they need to beg honda for a lean burn 1ltr motor 
I am guessing it points to the fact that it is overpowered, This means my 70's non-computer controlled 2 cycle rig with no a/f control whatsoever does a better job on the g/hp in the city at least, must be the 25hp instead of 70hp going on. |
What the heck is a subaru 360? |
