Because when you run your mouth that it will smoke the competition you need to back it up.

Secondly the recipe is out there for a reliable car all he had to do was follow.

Third in willing to bet every car has had a major problem. Whether it be a blown motor or down to axle or clutch problems still a major problem. While Polaris and can am have had their problems it wasn’t every car.

It’s been almost 2.5 years since the first cars came out into people’s hands. They still havnt gotten it right. It’s alot better but still not right.

It’s either piss poor service and charges or it’s Robby drove to my house and swapped the engine himself type of. Service that inconsistent is going to eat them alive

The car looks badass. Is badass on paper execution has been piss poor so far. Other and I have said it. Hire someone to run operations to improve things like reliability, customer service, dealers, delivery.
The recipe is out there for a reliable car huh? Still, NO car is reliable! Question, they just did a rip across the desert with 82 speed cars, how many broke? You must think everyone broke down because RG didn't use the "RECIPE" for a reliable car. Common now! So, when Polaris and Can-Have come out and were 2.5 years in, their cars were flawless and never broke from what you're saying? Thats a bunch of crap, mine broke down, service sucked, and parts took a while to get.
Now maybe your right on the piss poor service, but if RG goes to your house and changes an engine, that's pretty damn good service! I don't know personally how good the service is at Speed dealers, but typically just like most dealers, service sucks! But maybe more with the Speed cars.
If RG doesn't have an operations manager, or managers, then yes, that absolutely is a problem. Could it be better, I would say yes. But pretty damn impressive what he has done in my honest opinion. Now the Tariffs might actually kill the car and parts all together.

I don't get why people bash RG and the Speed car for being unreliable. Seems to me it's not very unreliable at all. Especially when you consider its freaking in year 1 essentially. Pretty damn impressive to say the least. I have seen every other SxS company with their '24-'25 model year have some kind of broke part or parts this year alone. And these are companies that have a decade to decades of R&D! You can talk shit, but your shit isn't backed up by facts! Sounds kind of like a modern day LIBTARD! LOL!
Have you seen how many times RiverDaves has been in the shop? Fixes, super fixes, broken stuff. If those are enough facts I’m not sure what you’re looking for. Who knows. Maybe he just got a lemon.

Polaris didn’t do so well themselves…

It went once for a factory recall on a turbo. I blew the engine up, they warrantied it.. Other than that it's normal shit for Offroad?

Not sure why you'd say mine has been there a bunch?

I've put a ton of miles on mine, and I'm extremely happy with the car..

My Defender the fuel pump took a shit at under 200 miles. They blew me off. Said 6 month warranty not our problem. Would not even discount the part.

I knocked out about 60 miles yesterday, just the wife and I, all by our lonesome. I have the confidence now to take it on rides without others.
Not one issue, and I'm now on 800 miles on the belt.

Good thing I don't listen to the internet


I absolutely love my car

61 recalls over a 10 year span covers at least 500,000 units, if not more, is not too bad.
Speed would’ve easily passed that number if they actually issued recalls. The tunes, turbos, clutches, power steering, and decompression alone aren’t even truly fixed yet. But hey they have race upgrade options for you!

With that said I’m still a buyer if they ever get it dialed.
