Will I see an Elio in my driveway before I die ?

AI Highlights
  • - Invested $500; expected 2016 start.
  • - Ongoing since 2013; ads for Elio.
  • - 2015 infomercial prompted payment.
  • - Emailed for refund.
  • - CAS petition filed.

I went "all in" for $500 , with them saying manufacturing would start in 2016 , then 2017 , and on and on . Stupid me .

From what I understand , they've been doing this to people since 2013 . In 2015 , I saw a informercial , prompting me to remit payment . I saw advertisements for the Elio everywhere . These companies should all be part of a class action suit , which I've been pursuing .

I signed up for a car , not crowd-funding . I also e-mailed them to return my money , first nicely , then nastily , to no avail .

Then I threatened with a law suit , and they made it sound like I was threatening bodily harm . Then they said they would "Notify local authorities" , threatening me back .(Trumping me) I signed a petition for a CAS .
