Can’t have fees on something that isnt real lol
This here ^^^ is why I ask myself why people continue to argue with LOF. Everyone here that attacks LOF is running a fool’s errand. Simply put if does not “exist” Why Engage? LOF position has been very clear from the start he does not care if it comes in 1 month or 10years or at all, his deposit was a gamble and he knew from day one. Personally I think he already got his money’s worth just based on the pot stirring that has occurred for the almost 10,000 posts combined on this subject. I do enjoy the cannon fodder daily. It is beyond entertaining for me since I have no dog in the fight.

No fees for install of parts?

Free install on all upgrades when ordered with the car. 👍🏻

My windshield was $800. Inflation is a bitch!

Why would you pay for install anyway? As we were reminded earlier, if you can’t work on your car you have no business being out in the desert.

If it was a K20 with a SXS trans.. yes!

I think it’s a mistake for Robby not to at least race his trophy truck in the Baja 1000 too. He is a heavy hitter and fan favorite down there. The fact that he can’t do that shows there is no one else running the company. That’s my .02

I’m not saying he should be in every race, but this is the Daytona 500 of races

Mad Max is racing his Arctic cat XX
He does all of his own prep on his car.
I think that is pretty cool for such a young dude.

Who on RDP has paid for there car already?

My takeaway on the live show

He said 5-8 weeks. That is damn near shipping time. He also said problem with oil system that has to be addressed so delay with retooling the part ( possible work around for the 200 in stock)

Nothing is built because of the uncertainty of the epa cert. so cars still need parts to come in ( some are already there)and assembly and ship. 12-15 weeks out.

Carb cert has zero visibility. The testing has been done that is for sure but who knows how long it will take to get the actual cert.

Damn near zero testing with 35” tires (250 miles or so)
Quoting myself from when they said 5-8 weeks for deliveries this post was made on 10/6 where I stated speed said 5-8 weeks. We are now at 6 weeks since speed made the statement of 5-8 weeks. With less than a week before thanksgiving. It’s looking like another blown date by speed. Keep in mind they had the EPA cert in hand at time of saying 5-8 weeks. There has been little to no info on deliveries since that statement was made as well.

What if a startup invested deposits in FTX? Disclaimer: this is a hypothetical question. Of course no start up company has ever done anything unethical

If I was Robbie, I wouldn't want my team, or myself seen doing anything other than showing my investors (customers) that I am working thru obstacles to get cars delivered to existing customers.

Do any reservation holders want to see the Speed team out playing, racing or garnering more deposits at an upcoming (insert expo here) ?

If there's enough people⁹ like LOF he has no worries they'll just keep gobbling up whatever he says.

The fact that Robbie who is a race car driver can’t dip away for 2-3 weeks to go race the biggest race of the year in the industry that speed is in. Says volumes about how garage shop the company really is.

6 weeks ago the only thing that should of been said was =
Until we have CARB certification, we are unable to start deliveries. Now that we have EPA certs, we are hoping CARB will release our certs soon. Until that date, we are unable to share any delivery targets.

This alone makes me think they are still wayyy behind on production and delivery dates.

why not have a SPEED car there @ the 1000 to represent and show what they are capable of??

BTW... does the SPEED cold weather gear on sale also work in a RZR or CAN-AM lol.

This. The same people whining about them not racing would be whining if they were racing.. they did last year when he did race TT.

If that was the case, why would any company in their right mind hold off delivering product and revenue because of a cert in one state?

Aside from the fact that you think they should be delivered in order of course, which makes no sense given the slowness of bureaucracy in CA.

No, that is a Speed problem. If you can’t sell in the largest market you are F’d.
If you have a deposit holder who say ‘No’ to being skipped, that could open a huge liability.

Also while CARB can limit sales, it can also stop cars from being used in the state (current rulings are heading in that direction). Whoever is the money behind this operation could stay no more production runs until that is solved. No CA sales and this Operation is closed before it opens
It’s a SPEED car….who’s gonna be able to catch ‘em?

“Dipping away” for a couple weeks to race on what may be the cusp of delivering the first batch of cars from his startup would be idiotic.

Ok fair point. If there is no delivery within by x mas then I will say your point is bull shit. If deliveries happen I’ll stand corrected

Yep agreed. He’s got all next year to prove the cars. I’d like to see them go race and be fully prepped. I don’t expect them to have that kind of bandwidth for awhile.
