Keep in mind that this is NOT a car. It is a motorcycle as far as the DOT is concerned, so it does not have to conform to the same safety regs as a car.

 

The company is trying to get around some of the details associated with being classified as a motorcycle. I've heard that they will not require a motorcycle endorsement on your license and that the helmet laws will not apply. We'll see...

Did you preorder one?

 

Nope. While I'm enthusiastic about brands like this and Tesla, unfortunately I think Elio Motors has a 1 in 3 chance of actually making it to market.

 

Production is delayed until 2015...B'CUZ OF COURSE IT IS.

Can you order it without a .9L 55hp engine and swap it for an ecoboost 1L 125hp with the same (or better) mpg.

Also: "Retail Centers will be stand-alone sales locations run by Elio-trained employees, so you’ll never find yourself saying, “Hey, weren’t you flipping burgers at Hamburger Heaven last week?" -- Classy

I'm sure they are looking at Tesla's troubles in some states and wondering what the fate of Elio stores would be as well...

 

At least Elon Musk is creating a road map of amiable states/markets for other small-volume manufacturers that want to sell cars out of retail shops...

Elon Musk also has the financial resources to make that happen.
