I wonder how much he wants for the tires?
I was thinking the same thing, at least we would have part No.#1 and then purchase the other 27,999 parts to complete the car when they become available

Right ?......er What ? :D

The 100's of speed tire's he has are for sale to the aftermarket, not for production line in Texas. I'm starting to find the information in the shows contradictory and his statements not completely clear.

Robby needs to shit or get off the pot! He needs to make a delivery commitment and stick to it. Doesn't matter if it's next week or six months from now. Announcement for start of production IMHO needs to happen sooner than later!
I agree. I am a little irritated at this point with the sales technique. I purposely waited to configure my car until I seen some production cars being built. They called me the week of Thanksgiving and said I needed to configure now because production was going to start the last week of December. Obviously, that isn't happening. I feel like they were just reaching out for more money at this point.

Tires are $12,000 each; buy 4 and you get a spot in line for a Speed Car 😂

Merry Christmas from your friends at Hisun Manufacturing 🤤

Robby needs to step aside and let a true sales & PR team handle the Vlog’s and press releases. He can run the shops and R&D aspect but this thing has gotten so big that he should have a team who’s comfortable working in that aspect handling it.
this, Ive been saying this for 6 months. He is hurting himself at this point

Out of curiosity, what number are you? I agree. I get their intent, but they are going to need to issue a date or consistent guidance to everyone.

I still haven't paid for all of my accessories, they called me back in October, and we played phone tag for a few days. Then Conner told me I need to call Ginger, I did that, and sent her an email, she never got back to me, so I'm just gonna wait until they call they me again to pay for them. Worst case scenario, they don't all show up on the car. But, I'm not sending them anymore money at this point.

What if he has fired up the production line without notifying those that don't need to know?
Maybe the crank and clutch updates will be implemented in future model year cars?

Wouldn't you be pretty pissed if you have the "old crank?"

What's wrong with the current crank?
I'm not sure, but the fact that robby talked about improving it insinuates that there's something wrong with it. This is what I asked about 10 pointless pages ago, is Robby letting perfect be the enemy of good and is he going to tinker himself out of business if people start getting pissed and wanting to pull orders?

Then he’d be going against one of the main reasons the cars arnt in production yet, which is he wants to ensure the cars are the best they can be…

So this is a question, have you guys who have deposits paid more money than the original 2500$ deposit? If so how much more? Has anyone been asked to pay for it in full?

The only thing anyone has had to pay besides the deposit is any accessories that they added to the build.

0 people have been asked to pay in full. Deposits and options, that is all people were required to pay for.

A huge group of family and friends are going to Saint Anthony's Sand dune's in Idaho in June. I'm starting to run out of time to reserve an RV and a spot in the campground.

I'm master number 792 El Jefe. Do you guys think I will get my car in time for the trip?

If I were you, I would defiantly have a back up plan...... like a rental or something like that as to not blow the trip. I hope you have it by then!

Legally you can’t be asked to pay remaining portion until delivery day, or a couple days prior to delivery but the unit is completed. Financed units can start the financing process 30 days out. If car is not delivered by day 31, finance paperwork has to start over. Smart enough folks are making sure speed does not go down that route. Deposits and pay in full accessories at order are 100% legal.

No one knows IMO. Until production starts and then ramps up to 100% everyone is only guessing.
i would have a backup plan ready just in case.

How much are all the accessories that you guys have paid? What’s your total all in at this point in time per car

So you're saying threatening to seek out and eliminate any customers questioning or complaining is bad?
Who knew.😁

That payment counts as down payment for financing as well.

It's the same thing as here. There are the waiters, the naysayers, the whiners and the watchers.

Sure but Id also see it coming.

With anything you buy you've got a short window of being the newest coolest thing, and seeing perfection in the next version...

Just ask the guys that bought polaris 900's, or the prior gen maverick.

I am guessing a year or two after this comes out they are going to put the bigger 1.3L engine in them.

yeah there's definitely always going to be further development, you just don't normally think about the further development happening prior to you even receiving your stuff (which I'm sure happens all the time, no doubt polaris was working on the xp1k before the 900 hit customers hands)

You are right, it happens right under your nose. Running design and parts changes happen all the time on everything.

Sometimes the original parts are "better" and the change is made because it saves a couple bucks. I don't think that is the case here though.

They talked about the crank changes back in October. They made some changes to the oiling system once they drove the preproduction cars. If you are making a change to a crankshaft, it is probably for a good reason and was probably to address those oiling concerns.

I paid the deposits and 11k in accessories x2 for two cars. The two seater I have hasn’t been configured too much yet. So they have about 30k of mine

Look on the bright side he’s in the 5% that likes his RZR stock so your deposits aren’t going to his mandatory (according to some)$15000 in upgrades!
