If Robby was opening a brand new never mentioned factory in mexico for speedutv he would have been shouting it and bragging about the expansion, no? He is suppose to be fully transparent and that's what set's him apart from the rest. "it is what it is" makes me think he is hearing about this same as us. Other wise this would be huge news for speed utv.
Robby does not open factories for Hisun for starters. Probably why he was unaware.

If it was simply a promotional car, as Hisun and RG seem to indicate I’m sure he’s a little annoyed it was not co-branded with Speed.

Anyone?????

I’m driving by there in 15 mins to get dinner. If it is there it is probably the old signage from when they bought the building. I didn’t see anything new this morning when I drove by on my way in.

Read posts above.
So now the best place to get updates on Speed Car production is a thread on a boating website?
The Tucker was an innovative car that made for a better movie than a vehicle success story. I’m pulling for you guys to get the latest greatest but this has to have you wondering.

For lease, rent free in the trolls heads.

Not a lease sign anywhere.

Rough day for the under bridge dwellers.

They give weekly updates on YouTube, FB and IG.

The people on the boating website don’t watch them.

I’m not wondering much of anything. This isn’t Tucker. They will tell us when to pick up the cars when they are ready.

The people building the cars for Speed just confirmed that they are in fact building the cars. Or that too is just more CGI and lies from Speed 🤣

If Hisun is building the Speed cars at their newly announced plant in Mexico then you guys will be waiting much longer

The Speed cars are being assembled in the McKinney Texas Hisun facility. Sometime in the future Speed assembly might switch to Saltillo MX.
Wait earlier you said Mexico was the place? Did you not?

I said Hisun is expanding their manufacturing capacity in order to keep up with demand. The Speed assembly line is already setup and ready to run in Texas.

What do you guys think of Robby saying he is going to build a pickup truck that will make a Raptor look like a POS for 75K.

We are still waiting on those UTV's that was suppose to make polair and cam-am look like a POS. Its been over 2 years now. I am going to hold my breath for when he actually delivers a pickup truck that kills the raptor.

Then why show a “speed”car in Mexico?

Because the Speed El Jefe is a lot more impressive than anything Hisun has designed and built themselves. They gave ride's to all of the local Mexican government officials and other dignitaries.
Hisun didn’t design nor have they built it? So not sure about that? So what are they actually claiming

FYI at this point I am arguing to argue lol

Since we are arguing to argue… Hisun built it.

They are claiming “Look at what we can build here bitches.”

Hisun is manufacturing most of the car and assembling it. I'm still not convinced that Speed knew that Hisun was going to take one of their car's, wrap it in their logo's and take it to the grand opening ceremony.

I want 2:1 on my 1k+ bets that speeds are delivered by December 2022.

I’ve seen less drama in highschool. RG owns the US patents. There’s no way for Hisun to sell “Speed” in the US.

He owns the patents? Or patent pending? Utility or design?

Agreed. What is Robby gonna do, terminate the build contract? Looking good and good PR for the local government is worth it to them in the long run.

As usual, this seems to be much ado about nothing. I was hoping it meant more cars in more countries, but seems that will come later.

The theory that RG got screwed out of his IP “because it’s China” seems to be falling even flatter.

Flap your eyes instead of your keyboard. Read the thread, it is all there in the last couple hours.

T minus six weeks and counting until the Sand Sports Super show. If Speed is going to come through with production cars at the SSSS, early numbers like Carl and Dave should be getting calls in a couple of weeks to pay for their car's. Tik Tok, Tik Tok

@Racer56

Watch this -

How did this car from China even get here? Did they send over just the one car in an empty container?

Maybe the Hisun car was one of Carl’s they borrowed. 🤣

Are you in the mood to bet a margarita at the Chair or a cocktail at Copper Still?

That there will be deliveries then? I’m sure they just sent a single car to North America, since they know nothing about logistics.

My proposed bet is that I get my El Jefe after you get yours before the end of the year.

I think I have a bet with 702sand man that I get mine on or before Xmas. The site went down and we didn’t finalize the details, so I’m not going to hold him to anything at this point.

Racer56 posted an IG post from the head of US sales for Hisun. He’s the one that said it, so argue with him about it.

Why would Hisun copy themselves? They are building the car.

On a different note, what gps unit's are you guys running in your utv's? I plan on running a Garmin Tread XL Overland in my El Jefe. I've always had Lowrance unit's in my race cars, but they are to hard to use, don't have the features the Garmin has and I personally have had issues with them working properly.

Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the Garmin. I have a 9” Lowrance going in the car with the external Baja 1 antanna. I agree that they are not feature rich, but I have not had a problem with them not working to date. I make my own sat imagery maps for the areas I run, which has made it much more useful.

If the Speed screen mirroring is worth a damn I will use a phone app that mirrors on the screen as a secondary.
