Geely man! Small, weird, cheap car like thing made by a Chinese manufacturer? It could work! Plus most of the hard work is already done for them!

Interesting idea. I wonder who could stand to benefit most by scooping up all the IP and engineering Elio has already created...?

I’m not an expert either, but I’ve managed a few projects in the couple million dollar range, and I think you’d be surprised at how quickly incompetence can chew through your cash reserves. Not as fast as a methhead who steals job supplies and equipment, but close.

The big 3 automakers back in the day conspired to keep Tucker from being successful, even to the point of having steel mills refuse to sell him steel to build his cars. Watch “Tucker: A man and his Dream” It’s an EXCELLENT documentary on the development of his car, and pile of shit that he went through back then in…

What is wrong with Elio??? I don’t understand! As a machine, it’s such a simple thing, that if you are marginally competent builder, you can build on in your backyard, so why multi-million dollar investment is failing so badly to produce even a single “proper” prototype for so many years? What did they spend all…

If Geely is looking to make a big push into the US, maybe this is it? Just think about it, it would a good acquisition for them. They could sell anew cheap car here and really have the brand from the start. Heck they could even develop it into have both the three wheel vehicle and a more traditional 4 wheel car as…

Well, I would definitely consider it. It’s no more dangerous than riding a motorcycle, and lots of people do that. And 84mpg times 10 trips a week for my commute leads to a lot of savings.

Shoot for 40k they might be able to buy Chrysler.
