Default Elio Motors?

Just received this email from Elio:


September 8, 2021
Good Morning Elio Reservation Holders,
Wow, it has been a while since we have had the chance to say that and frankly, it feels good… and we’re back!
Stay tuned for a number of important and exciting announcements over the next few weeks on our path forward. In the meantime, you can head over to the SEC website where you can view our recently filed reports and financial statement.
We are sure that you have a lot of questions that we will work to answer over the coming weeks and months. Our email, [email protected], is available for your questions, which we will gather and share as we move forward.
Thank you again for your patience, understanding and, most of all, passion for the Elio vehicle platform,

The Elio Team

From the SEC Filing:

Elio Motors was founded with a vision to create a high mileage, low-cost vehicle that is affordable to a larger income range of consumers. The price, efficiency and versatility of the vehicle makes it a perfect choice as a commuter vehicle that transcends multiple market segments. During the initial development phase, Elio Motors believed that the best strategy was to develop a gas-powered vehicle first, and then launch the electric Elio. Recently the automotive landscape has changed significantly, and Elio Motors now believes that it is better to develop an electric powered Elio first, and then potentially launch a gas Elio second based on demand. The new Elio model-E with a targeted base price of $14,900 is making it the most affordable electric vehicle on the market.
Most of the development and concepts from the gas Elio (Elio-G) can be utilized in the development of the electric Elio (Elio-E). For instance, seating two people front-to-back to significantly reduce the width of the vehicle and thereby increasing gas mileage (Elio-G) or range for a given size battery pack (Elio-E). By utilizing as much as possible, the work already completed on the Elio G, the Company will significantly shorten development time (vs. de novo approach). Elio has contacted Roush (one of Elio Motors engineering providers) and their assessment was that the current design could be electrified utilizing a significant portion of the engineering and development

(including approximately $40,000,000) that has already occurred.

Does it come with a shovel to scrape you up off the pavement after being broadsided by a pickup truck?

Shovel isn't required.. Hose needed.
