Damn. Talking about joining on the run.
First post. 😱
A few minutes late on my comment it looks like

Well, he could have added a meme but LOF might have had a stroke.

Can't have him hurt for the 9th inning of Speed drama.
Extra innings are a sure thing👍

Rumor has it. Speed/Robby burned PCI and Rugged. They are having Baofeng build the radios. There will be no credit given no matter which radio option you chose and there will be a price increase.

I have more inside information. I will let it drip drip drip.

All you idiots who bought a Speed car are in for a rude awakening.
“Rude Awakening?! What do you mean rude awakening?”

Remember when RG’s Dakar car got delayed because the propeller fell off the container ship it was on in the mid Atlantic?
Shit happens.

From what I have read when RG posted the picture of the car in the container he said he was going to have a show on Saturday to explain the picture ! Has anyone heard anything about the show ?

I'm willing to sell my spot at cost. Any takers? El Jefe RG Edition locked in at $37k, price today at SpeedUTV is $45,500 so that is an $8,500 discount.
I have $7k in options on top of that and put $4500 down so $11,500 to transfer reservation #203 (El Jefe), master 1377.
And the price of options has gone up since I bought them so the savings are actually over $9k.
I'm done with the go-fast lifestyle and just want to take my dog to the beach now. (Old man syndrome, I bought a Pontoon and a Jeep, go figure.)
Time for some of you talkers to step up, here is the deal you said you would take!

LOF is the one that says he will purchase any that the person will sell at cost !! Let's see if he will step up and purchase or just flapping as usual !!

I'd jump on that but all my liquid cash is tied up in Tesla and Polaris stock right now. ---- LOF

How is this one #203 4 seater and #1377 master? My first car is like #3XX 4 seater and # 497 master.

PM me the option list please. I know it has the big tank, correct? I never really looked at that for the 4 seater and want to understand what the consequence of the big tank is to the passenger compartment in the 4 seater.

Any idea if the tank could be deleted at this stage for credit for other options?

Is it car 203? If so I’ll take it

If the first 203 cars built are 4-seaters then yes it's car 203. I read where they said they were building 4-seaters first but don't recall how many they were going to build before switching over to build some 2 seaters. It's probably in this thread somewhere among the noise. A call to Speed might clear this up.

It’s 203 El Jefe RG 4 seater. As opposed to 200 El Jefe LE 4 seater

I have no idea in what order they are building 4 seat models, or is that even matters.

From what I can tell this will be in the first 1000 4 seaters. I don’t know if the big tank makes it a 2 seater however.

If the Palestinians laid down their weapons, and ceased their attacks, there would be peace in Israel. Just as. . . .

If the Speed /LOF haters would just STFU, there would be peace in this thread, which would make much better reading.

There would be no problem, or much humor, if the haters weren't baiting LOF or waiting anxiously for any opportunity to call into question anything he says. It is a total shit show now. I'm not a buyer most likely, but I am very interested in how the whole project unfolds. I love a "success from scratch" story. It would be nice if a bunch of the inmates with way too much time on their hands would just not comment here. It gets old.

At this point I just say things to make them argue that the sky isn’t blue.

I’d rather go back to just updating folks with the info that is out there for the benefit of the owners… but the plebeians can’t control themselves.

Let me know what you find out!
Also someone wants to verify that the 23 gal fuel cell does not convert the 4-seater to a 2-seater.

Do you know if it does? Or did you ever ask that question? I’m going to call them
Monday.

I never asked that question or even supposed it might. I would think that would be something that would be disclosed on the part description or on the order.
Probably of no interest to sand guys but if you are doing tours of Baja or prerunning races, then HP eats fuel and range becomes a huge issue.
I think stock fuel is only 15 gal.

Yep. Most sxs have 100-120 miles range stock form.

A Speed will as well on gasoline if you don’t drive like an asshole.

In race/aggressive driving conditions a Turbo RZR will go 70 on a tank as you know.

E85 is 1/3 more fuel consumption before you even turn up the power… so that’s not even worth talking about.

Depends how much throttle is used of course. In NORRA, with lots of fast trails, most stock UTV's don't go more than 60-70 miles on a tank.

I’m only wondering because I saw it in the El Diablo 2 seater and it is taller.. so that begs the question. :)

I think I remember that the larger tank will delete the sub woofer if you wanted the stereo.

Seems if it is still a 4 seater one of us will buy it.

I was going to ask if I could ditch the big tank for some other options.

Sure we can. If you can wipe the meaningless commentary from the plebes between info drops. We have several people now providing real info from a few sources as we get closer.

Or we can start a new thread for the actual and perspective owners that contains actual updates since we are getting closer to deliveries.

First one to clog it up with BS gets banned. :)

If I had to guess who the first one to clog it up with BS is, it would be Speed themselves with one of their "information" releases 👍
