Speed Pre-Order

[NIKAL]

Well after last nights show I’m more confident then ever we will see the best car Speed UTV can make, and Robby knows and said; I have one shot at this! But with that said I agree with others that we will not see production start until after the 1st of the year.

That does not mean I could not still see my car by early March, with two production lines possibly running, but clearly Robby & Todd have set aside any date goals, and would rather make a better car, then a meet a date. Robby even offer those who might not be happy having to wait a bit longer, he said call the shop and they would refund your money if waiting a bit longer is going to be an issue for you. They want everyone to be happy with their decision, and if a buyer is unhappy with having to wait a little longer then hoped for. They would make it right and refund their money so they could buy something else.

But he did say come Dec, all cars go to full price.

Yes, full price dec 1

Speed UTV just sent out a reminder that Nov 30th is the last day to pre order a Speed UTV at the discounted price and that includes the Speed Key for $1.

Come Dec 1st, all models are MSRP and the Speed Key will be purchased as an accessory. Not sure of the price, but I think it was said to be $1,500?

But Im also suspecting we will not see customer production cars delivered until late Feb or Early March. This is just my assumption and not something that was confirmed. But Robby is Hell Bent on delivering the best car and he said “We can’t deliver a car that will have issues. It’s got to be right!”

Will a speed key work on a car it was not assigned to ? If yes mine can be had. I am looking to run up thousands of baja miles and 225 hp should be plenty for that.

Last I heard delivery will start in June.

Who said that?? Last I heard it was April.

Who said that?? Last I heard it was April.

I sure hope people see them in April. I think much later this year is more realistic.

A few shows back RG mentioned the first units will be registered as a a 2022. I am not sure if that indicates an expected arrival time.

I am excited to see one and hope the best for them!

 

[43mod]

Typically the following year models come out in Sept-Oct. my guess is it’s going to be better to register the first releases as 2022 because if not they will have some cars as 2021 & some as 2022. Each year you have to re-apply with CARB & EPA. It’s not that hard if nothing changes between model years. But this way the first round of CARB will cover a longer time. This is purely a guess? But would make sense as I’m hearing the first rounds are expected in April & May. At 10K units scheduled to be built at 80 cars a day, if they get both production lines running at full capacity. That’s 5 1/2 months to just deliver what’s currently on the books.

We are going to postpone this idea till 2022. I don't think very many cars will be delivered in time. I will repost this in the fall for all who are interested. Everyone in the intial batch should have their cars by then. Thanks, Dick

All of you with speed UTV preorders what accessories have you ordered or will you put on your speed UTV? What accessories are the the most important in your opinion?

If you are considering a windshield you might want to order it with your car. A few shows back Todd Romano talk about the cost of shipping windshields. He said they have worked out the costs of packaging, shipping & insurance and it’s going to add a couple hundred dollars to the cost of the windshield. But if you order it with you car, the factory will install it and you won’t have any other shipping or delivery costs besides the actual windshield cost. This goes for any accessories, even if not installed. If ordered with the car you don’t pay any mark ups or shipping fees.

Other accessories I’d look at ordering are the seat heaters. At $100 ea installed, that’s a no brainer. Spare tire & wheel and storage box are a couple other good large accessories to get and will be mounted at delivery.

I know a few guys who want this to be fully turn key. They are ordering RG editions with radios, window nets, all the basic accessories and are even ordering helmet pumpers, lights etc.. as they want everything done and wired from the factory. Per Speed UTV the wiring harness will have accessories pigtails at all the accessory points, so it should not be hard to install later.

I only ordered the large stuff, that I don't want to pay to have shipped later on and the rear veiw mirror so I can drive it when it arrives. Everything else, I want to see what the feedback is before I buy it. I don't mind installing my own stuff so that doesn't matter to me.

From speed I ordered a windshield; kicker stereo; crescent bed box; seat heaters; seat air cushions; break in kit; speed key; and 12 month warranty. From other manufacturers I ordered assault nighthawk mirrors; baja designs RTLB and interior light; switch pros SP9100; infinite off-road whips/rock lights/controller. I'm on the fence about a sealed cab because they do not know if it's going to cost $6k or $10k. If I get it I'll be credited $1k for the windshield but I'm not sure if I'll get a credit on the window nets since they were included. I was going to order the molded paddles and KMC wheels but I'd like to see them tested first.
My thoughts on speed light bars? If I'm going to run a Chinese light bar in going to order it from eBay for $100 not $1200.
Also, It's nice not buying a pile of gusset kits this thing around.
