    Current Alerts For This Business

    Alert:
    In August, 2024 BBB investigated Elio Motors business practices. This investigation was prompted by the nature of consumer complaints and customer reviews received by BBB. Consumers allege in their reports to BBB that the business fails to deliver the vehicle consumers paid for and fails to provide an order update to consumers when requested.

    On August 23, BBB sent the company a Business Practice Inquiry through email to request the following information:

    The  projected timeline for when consumers will be receiving their vehicle;
    The details on the resolution that will be offered to consumers who have paid but have not received the purchased vehicle or a refund;
    Information on the communication channels available to customers to inquire about the status of their vehicle and refunds;
    How the business handles situations where orders cannot be fulfilled as initially expected;

    As of August 30, 2024 the business has not responded to BBB's request.

    Consumers with outstanding concerns are still encouraged to file a complaint for BBB records, but may also wish to contact their local Attorney General office.

    Im all-in at $1,000. Utter fraud by Elio Motors. Now they promised a EV version at a significantly higher price. However, they are now over a year beyond that predicted production rollout. They are down to **** and one other employee. It aint going to happen, folks. Chalk it up to a poor investment.

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment.

However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.
