Great clarification sir.
Neither would I. My bad, I was under the impression that people had paid thousands of dollars in order to place their order. I've seen a few for sale ads where the guy selling is saying "$10k to me for what I've already paid" and then $40k to speed upon delivery.
The deposit was not much at $1,500. Where people got into it for more money is when they announced the accessories and they had to pay for them up front. There are a lot of deposit holders with way more than the $1,500 deposit tied up into their Speed UTV.
The deposit to order was only 1500
Which I guess is my point. While it's his business and he gets to make the call, forcing people to pay for their accessories up front is a bullshit way of squeezing more money out of them when the car is still just a figment of his imagination. Unless of course he's sitting on a warehouse full of nets, radios, lights etc... Which I seriously doubt.
Or you could’ve ordered the car, put down $1500, then when it was ready to hit the line then pay and order for the accessories. Yore right, nobody HAD to buy the accessories. It just seems that if you wanted accessories, being forced to pay up front is shady at best. When I ordered my truck from Ford, I didn’t have to pay for the diesel engine up front.
From a marketing stand point I think it was a good idea. 1500 dollars down on a 33000 dollar car and you spend 10000 dollars on accessories. You have 11500 dollars down payment on a 43000 dollar car. Now you have 25% down payment for the people that finance. This also helps with people ordering a 43000 dollar car will bells and whistles and when it gets built they cannot get financing .was it the best way to do it? Probably not
With almost 340 pages of chit chat and almost a month of them sitting in the showroom with no true life reviews, ( can't really give a review when King Robbie threatens to take your car if you say anything bad) my interest level has gone to zero.
Sure are taking their time installing those accessories now aren't they?
Because you are here, I beg to differ that you have better things to do with your life.
When he had you guys pay for your accessories it sounded like your cars were coming in a few months. If you knew it would be another 2-3 years would you have pre-paid the accessories or waited to add them before your car hit the production line?
Why do you and everyone else care so much about what I do with my money? Who f u c k i n g cares. Are you going to blast me for buying RIVN stock too? Oh yeah, since you guys care so much......I didn't sell my Bitcoin while I was internet rich. Please all you internet trolls PRAY FOR ME!!!!
I don't give a crap what you do with your money. Congrats on being able to retire at 52 years old that is a fantastic accomplishment. I wish I could retire at 52.
