This will hit 500 before they deliver 500 cars. IMO View attachment 55974

A friend reminded me that Bricklin was able to build 3,000 SV-1  cars in 2 years in short run production with no robots in Canada - so RG might be able to do 5,000 in one year once / if they start production

looks like just a chassis and plastic i wonder how complete they actually are the shocks and a arms are off im sure there isnt any rear suspension component's as well connected to the chassis. so where are they going to complete the cars if the shipped to ca like that

Its likely those just came in from the sub contractor in China doing the body parts and HiSun will start assy  once all the other sub contracted parts get in from the Mud Hut builders ...

In the meantime Elon launched a few thousand satellites since RG started his "reality show" on the internet

I think I'd take that bet, only because it's 50/50 odds. 

From what we are seeing there is optimism. But all it will take is one catastrophic failure of the first 12 delivered to bring everything to a halt. 

If first 12 and second 25 are a success, that will be a tailwind for Speed.

I am a placeholder with Speed, but not a fanboy. I'm #2256 in line. Even when Speed said every preorder would have their car in 2022, I added a year. And I fear even that is optimistic.

First cars will be finished in Havasu. This is a very short term plan though.

I laughed so hard. It’s almost like a brain washed lib.

Lol. “Chinese chit box throwaways” yet only one of the 3 manufacturers in this thread uses China to entirely build the car…

Assuming that doesn’t change as well.

Not much has remained true since that article…

1900 pounds...  hahahahahahahah

hahahahhahahahaha

hahahahahahah

It is and will be WAY heavier than 1900!  

 

[stonehenge]

Not to mention when all the fan-boys are done with all the MacGyver accessories, it would be fun to put that monster on a scale and get the true weight,  not many unicorn owners will have a stripped down basic version, they won't be able to help themselves.  

I am amazed at all the gayzers I see with dam near circus worthy add-ons.  Sandford & sons would be jealous.

Yeah.  No one tallied the materials and told Robbie the new number after all the updates.  Hilarious that he talked about how much beefier it was than a RZR or Can Am, but somehow it weighs less than them...

The 4 seat Speed UTV will weigh as much as the 4 seat Pro R.  I know they discussed weights on one of the presentations.  

 

[Cookie]

They both are going to weigh more than my Gen 4 Funco, plastic is heavy.

They saved weight with the flimsy trailing arm mount. :biggrin:

I mean, technically, he's correct... LOL

He can't delete the actual post. He could delete the content of the post though.

Now, some are pushing to require a master number to join the hallowed walls of Speed Forum. Keep out the riff-raff, donchaknow.

People do post differently on different forums, under the same screen names. It's funny to me when they talk crap about folks and places they dug their own hole from, but I amuse easily.

Any Speed UTV in customers hands yet? Even if it is that first 12 that Moses hand delivered from the Mount Sinai burning bush....
