Every so often I check the status of the ELIO. For those who have not heard of this 3 wheel vehicle go to elio.com. The first time I saw an Elio was at the Freehold Mall in New Jersey in the summer of 2012 and was intrigued that it would make a perfect year round commuting vehicle. I asked Elio when they expect production to start since it has been 7.5 years since I first saw one. Here is their response which to me means that it will never be built (I did not invest in this vehicle):

Hello John,
The production date is estimated to be 76 weeks from the timely and successful completion of our current and subsequent fundraising efforts. The timing and availability of the funds can move and we will do everything we can to keep the project moving forward by utilizing each piece of funding received, as we receive it. Thank you for your support.
