Elio Motors death bet. PLACE YOUR BETS

They do, but with all major players moving into EV's these days Tesla no longer has it all to themselves.

I'm a huge Tesla fanboy, but shockingly, Ford has some AMAZING offerings! The functionality of the F-150 Lightning EV has me wanting one, and while I don't personally care for the aesthetics of the Mustang Mach-E, the interior is fantastic & the driving experience is the best EV experience I've had (have driven the S, X, 3, Y, Leaf, Fit, etc.). The new electric Cadillac is also a REALLY nice machine & doesn't have a super-insane price tag either! Plus the Rivian is looking pretty dang good!

By all accounts the Rivian is a monster smartly thought out AND comes in at over 800HP, the thought of one absolutely trouncing the living *uck out of one of those "coal rollers" I see around here is intriguing. One question though, if it's all about off-road where exactly do you charge it?, maybe a small 5Kw generator ought to be an option, specially if your using the included outdoor kitchen, (which is an 11 on the cool factor!).

Today, Yahoo came out with a story on Elio (10/19/21):

Now he wants to build an EV besides the gas version. Is he still taking deposits? My son wanted to plunk down a $1000. deposit. Luckily I talked him out of it.

Thank God, they are just grifting at this point.
