opinions please

I can change models on an existing order if I want and I'm thinking about it. Note: I really don't want the color orange on my car.
On this order the buy in price compared to current prices is -2500 Base model, -4500 LE model and -3500 RG model

Common sense says for Re-sale I should buy the LE as it is the biggest discount but what do you guys think has the best potential for upside? I think most people buying second-hand that don't have to have the RG will jump on a lower price more than picky about price vs options. I'm thinking about just buying the base model, adding the roof and doing a custom/color wrap like the blue car.

If I keep the car, Window nets and Radio are a must $4100 in extras
If I upgrade the LE with nets and a radio, it's cheaper (3500) just to get the RG model so that is a no brainer except for the orange part

I didn’t want orange either.. I went rg Jist because of the nets / interior and other things that come with it.

The black and gold Le is the cars ass as far as looks IMO

Just Curious if today is the 26th does this mean people are getting more calls for Halloween delivery ? If not does this put in jeopardy the big Halloween shin dig in glamis ?

Yeah because your behavior is exemplary.. 👀
Ok go read my post he called obtuse and illiterate and that's ok? He said that's not an insult. I am sure you know the meaning of those words. Yet you allow it your site last I checked.

The major difference here was Polaris did not take a cent from a customer for a “deposit” and they also did not say hey here’s a new car we built and it will be out on such and such date. Two differences on how both companies are doing things.

The third, and largest, difference was Polaris continued to build their entire existing lineup while developing the new car.
When you actually have a product line that's already profitable, it's easier to take your time creating the items that make that line obsolete. 🤨😁

Speed developed their product line and sold everything while they developed their car!

They have tires, shirts, drinks, stickers and the Speed tool box…. None of that stopped !

As far as who "owns" Speed, Dave said in the very beginning of this journey into the unknown, Robbie told him personally that a Chinese billionaire was backing the operation.
Unless Dave or Robbie were lying, which I doubt, the billionaire is possibly the majority owner.
The resident "expert" here like to laugh about the Polaris and Can Am bean counters screwing up what would otherwise be good builds.
Chinese bean counters will put them to shame.

And no I don’t much care for or approve LOF’s behavior either if we are being honest

I am not sure if he is partnered with the same people as when he was the first day he announced. Back then remember he was basically doing modified XX’s.

Assuming it were the same people I would have to guess it would be the main interests behind Hisun? That main guy would fit the description of billionaire, with massive factories capable of building vehicles..

Regarding LOF.

If there were 1 or 2 more like him on the board, it would ruin this site. I do not have anything personally against him, but he is getting close to being the second person I put on ignore. Usually just scroll past his posts, but sometimes, then is hard to follow the conversation when others quote him.

At this point yes, per Robby they can’t ship anything until certs are approved. If they get approved today. We are looking at 4-6 weeks until they land stateside and make it to their (west coast) destination. With Halloween a month out. Another big day (official start of riding season) come and gone.

Thanksgiving/Xmas/New Years are in the yellow zone of missing getting rides by then too.

If he is waiting for government people. They start taking massive holidays and not working as much due to weather pretty soon. Delaying the process even more.

If they would just admit they do the exact same thing as I do and are just as guilty..

We might get somewhere.

Maybe start the shipping process into Mexico easy hop up into the US from Mexico Once they get the green light to sell ….

at this time it’s just get the cars to the buyers to renew the excitement and get some BUZZ going create demand again…

You know that grads keeps texting me to start a thread to take a poll between you and him for most hated man on the site.. he thinks he’s got decent odds of coming back and being the lightning rod.. 😳

I just don’t understand why you would put so much effort into arguing. There are ways of getting the point across without having the backlash..

Hisun does have facilities in mexico..

That said I’m not sure they can’t bring them stateside. I don’t think they can DELIVER them to customers until they get the certification. I have heard from people there is a place in California where there are quite a few units parked Jist sitting there.

Another twist in the plot. 😳

I for one would love to read a Speed thread with nothing but info. I don't care about the companies business practices. I don't care about how Robbie's personality or wallet, or leadership etc isn't up to some inmate's expectations. I just want to know about the car. I wish LOF would not respond to any of the haters. Y'all are treating the forums like a battle ground or a dick measuring contest. And all the negative comments at this point are making many of you look pretty small. Frankly we all know where the negative Nancy's stand at this point. Why don't y'all just shut up for a month and let's see how this horserace finishes up on its own.

Q: Will there be any apologies issued from any of you for your toxic trolling? I'd set the over/under at about 2 because I am an optimist.

I won’t argue with anyone anymore with regard to this topic again if people arguing with me admit they are guilty of the exact same stuff they accuse me of doing.

Then stick with the update videos released by Speed.

What you call a battle ground of negative comments from haters exacting a dick measuring contest, some would consider fun (sometimes friendly) banter.

I apologize if anything I have written here in this thread has triggered you and will do my best to tread lightly on your sensitivities going forwatd. 😁

Think of how ridiculous that sounds. People hate me because of my stance on a UTV that most of them don’t even care to buy, own, or learn anything about.

As you see, there is no getting the point across, and with regards to this topic specifically, and I don’t care to. Having people feigning innocence and calling them out is at least entertaining.

Regardless, my offer stands. If all the people that were banned actually admit and accept responsibility for what they were banned for, I’ll just post info and answer questions from there forward.

😁

So let me make sure I understand this you want everyone else to step up and take responsibility for what was said and you don’t have to take responsibility for anything? Have you looked up the definition of a Narcissist? They always have to get the last word even when they are wrong sound familiar?

I really hope these cars come out and you get what your ordered but come on man do we really have to argue with everyone? What dose you going back and fourth prove? It’s not just this tread you do that in Either i am with river Dave let’s take a poll between you and grads and see who wins

They hate you because of the delivery.. they hate you because of the arrogance / know it all attitude no matter what subject. They hate because even on occasion when you are wrong you either don’t remember the position or won’t admit it.

Sound familiar?
