When Bev Hargraves first saw Elio Motors’ three-wheeled car prototype in 2013 – a tandem two-seater that promised 84 miles per gallon – he saw it as the perfect way to save money on fuel while driving to play in amateur golf tournaments.
Hargraves, an insurance salesman from Little Rock, Arkansas, placed a $1,000 deposit on the Elio, which was advertised for less than $7,000.
Eight years later, he still hasn’t gotten his vehicle – and he hasn’t gotten his money back, either.
