There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Invested? More like gambled. The cars will be in production any year now. Good luck!

:shocked: This is just my own personal opinion, but I don't think that ANY Elios will ever be available for sale. :gaah:
They keep pushing production dates back, and have been doing so for years... :banghead:
I feel sort of bad for thinking this; the vehicle sure would create jobs in the South, and I actually wouldn't mind owning one in my retirement years...

Not invested but did look at the vehicle at the Albuquerque ballon festival and sit in it to size it up. Sort of like sitting in an airplane. 3 wheel concept seems to be coming back around and this company is serious in getting a reasonably priced production vehicle to the masses.

Oh yeah..!!
Many have and they have the T shirt and the ever elusive production date...:banghead: they do keep the hopes up but I think many have written the investment off and moved on. But stranger things have happened my opinion is they can't find a way to make it the way they sold it...price and mpg's are a reach....

A thread about Elio Motors. Hmmmmmmm
I wonder what kind of oil they use ?
It would also be interesting to discuss the best tires for the Elio.

Investment in Elio? If you can afford to take a hit only--IMO. Very shaky and whether or not the company will succeed and become viable and grow with the concept--is dubious. I would not be investing.
There was some recent news two days ago. They are now up to P6--prototype version #6. It has changed a little. They claim to have the engine manufacturer locked in now. A three cylinder .9 liter that is getting 81 mpg in tests. A bit shy of the 84 they predicted, but not bad. Still no change in price from their $6,400 that has been touted. Production is now claimed to be by the end of 2016--another year down on the horizon.
Similar to my comments over the last three years have been printed above--so I will not repeat them.
Still waiting for them to show me the beef on this one.

Hell no! I know "vaporware" when I see it!
It's a investment scam! Heck by the time it actually comes out if ever... technology will have moved on.
I know I will get serious flames for this comment but so be it... I do not think it will ever come out!

It just seems a bit too exposed to be a scam.
I agree, it seems like an unlikely goal, but I don't think the principals are malicious, just misguided.
I'm reminded of the Tucker.
Of course, I could be wrong, and I'm sure someone here will be letting me know if I am.

Still lot of politicians to pay off:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: & make the Auto cycle catagory so they can meet the 5star rating they "expect" but cant make on only 3tires. New catagory & first up wins:firstplace:. Id like some ither portection as often as it rains here, but honestly its been too long now. Could have done more with the money than the whole lot of NOTHING they have to show for it. How many years in now??!:banghead: Just my redneck opnion
