Free Car - The Future or a Scam?

[Formaldehyde]

It's an interesting idea, but I'd definitely want to see some crash test data first..

How crash worthy is any motorcycle whether they have 2 wheels or 3 wheels?

This is the part people need to understand. This isn't a car even though it has the appearance of one. Just about any vehicle out there is going to squash you like a bug, much less a pickup truck or SUV.

Sigh, looks like vaporware.

7 years later and not one produced!

Elio Motors promised a next-gen, 84 mpg car and got millions in deposits. But where are the cars?

Phoenix-based Elio Motor took millions in customer deposits and promised an 84-mpg car. Customers are still waiting.

Car companies are notoriously difficult to start. 3-wheelers are almost always pan flashes. People too broke for a new 4 wheeler are just going to buy a beater that has more functionality than a new 3 wheeler, with some exceptions.

There is also the issue that 84 mpg is not exceptional for small cars.

Shoulda called it Gubye Motors.
