I keep hearing about these things, and people keep posting links to FR about it, but have they actually gotten any vehicles to market? Are they selling at the difficult-to-believe price cited?

I hate to be a wet blanket, but they remind me of nothing so much as the Dale. Look it up if you’re unfamiliar. You can’t buy a decent off-road utility vehicle with a two-stroke engine for that.

Count me dubious.

Elio Motors 3-Wheeled Car Delayed Until September 2015

Elio Motors‘ 3-wheeled car was originally scheduled for a March 2015 release and it has now been pushed back to September 2015.

ElioMotors 300x104 Elio Motors 3 Wheeled Car Delayed Until September 2015Elio Motors will use an old General Motors (GM) assembly plant in Shreveport, Louisiana to make the vehicle. The 3-wheeled car will be released in the fall due to a funding delay that occurred last year.

Stuart Lichter is leasing the Shreveport plant to Elio Motors and he was set to invest $7.5 million on the company. The Caddo Commission approved of the move in August but it was delayed until December and the carmaker was unable to begin production until the money was received.

My husband has been watching the Elio for at least a couple of years. Their production date is always a year out from now. He wants one, but is starting to wonder if it will ever be produced.
