Today was day 1 of the huge SEMA Convention in Las Vegas and I thought I'd share some of what we saw. The first two pictures are of a pretty cool 3 wheel vehicle called the Vanderhall. I'm not a fan of the Slingshot but this is one 3 wheeled car that I'd like to take for a spin. The price tag starts around $70,000 and it is currently being produced in Provo, UT. The third picture is me sitting in an Elio, cool but not for me. Kenda had a booth and the title "Designed for your journey" made me laugh. I thought a better one would be "Designed for your journey to a tire store for a better tire". I grabbed one of the bags they were giving away, I'll let you know how long it lasts.

You're probably one of the few who will ever sit in an Elio. Thanks for the pictures.
The lady there told us it was going into production next year and I asked her if she meant next year as in a couple of months from now and she said no, next year as in one year from now.
It is really ugly but as a cheap commuter vehicle I guess it would be better than a Smart Car. The Vanderhall on the other hand is very sexy looking. (My pictures don't do it justice) Very James Bondish.

they have been selling that pipe dream for the last couple of years. ain't gonna happen
Will see which one makes good movie appearance will tell the tale. Plz yall have fun guessing what vehicle will show up where list vehicle & the type of movie. Like an elieo may make an appearance on Mr Bean. Where as spyder has been on transformers 2. The vanderhall may look bond worthy but lacks the swagger. Interesting find tho I will be looking into thx.

It really looks much better in person. It has plenty of swagger.

great photos... the Vanderhall is nice but for a three wheeler quite expensive.. those Elio samples should be worn out by now they have been traveling around for years now... tires I'm not going into (mine were great) but the bag will last longer that the early 2014 kendas on the RT's...

They make one that is 300 cc but still a bit underpowered. And the thing is so wide that you would really be holding up traffic as no one could get around you.

Speaking of Elio: The latest blurb states that their "Prototype" will be unveiled on November 19th. They are going to make their own engines--the GM engine is out. The article also stated that they are in line for a $185 million loan from the government. Production is scheduled for late 2016.
We have heard all this before--but thought I would update those who have an interest. I still say--"show me the beef."
They have been doing the "production next year" statement for several years now.
The latest production target broken was 4th quarter 2015. They said that about 18 months ago.
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.
The Elio folks at the show said they received 110 million this week production will be in Shreveport LA at a former GM Truck plant.
Cuz they are running Continental tires

I honestly don't know what to say about this product...
How have I survived without it for almost 40 years of riding??
And I think we will all continue to survive without one!
