It honestly does not surprise me that it was delayed over and over. Seems to be a trend with products and games these days when they offer pre-orders. While (to my knowledge) Elio Motors did not begin as a kickstarter, The idea is still the same and the failure to deliver off promises. This should honestly be a crime! I know people are willingly donating money to these projects, but is there any accountability for accepting the money? If I paid money for one of those things and the company for years now had pushed back the date more and more, can't you sue them or demand your money back?

I guess Autoblog still thinks this is happening...

 

I'm still a fan, just very skeptical that this is still going to be produced.

 

At least it'll be interesting to see how a new 2013 vehicle sells in 2020.

At this point their best shot is selling as a kit, or partnering with something like Local Motors instead of doing full-scale production on their own. Honestly, this should have been their goal from the start. Making cars is hard.

Tesla, though backed by a billionaire, got started with about that much money. But Tesla was planning cars that were 20x as expensive, with new and untested technology.

 

Elio is just a modern day DeLorean that didn't even get that far.

Didn't tesla get billions in government money?
