Well my dealership didn't have a problem at all. Of course the suspension, body panels wouldn't be covered. Transmission should be and mine would have been. I guess it depends on the type of relationship the customer has with the dealership.
Well, not true as I owned a supercharged Saleen and had my local non Saleen dealer work on it with no problems. And FYI, Saleen still installs superchargers on the mustang.
Also, the N20 focus had nitrous on the car but NOT hooked up. If you did hook it up you voided your warranty.
Well if you search on there site you will see that they have sold many more then just 1 or 2 Saleen's at there auctions. I'm guessing if you have gone to many auctions you would have seen more then 1 or 2 sold.
Most cars sold at BJ are over priced IMO because people get caught up in the bidding and especially I'd they are on camera well then forget it, the price increases 10-20% because of that. I like watching it on TV just to see whats being sold but I like mecum much more and I have also been to one of there auctions before as well.
Hmmm... So working without pay is benefiting himself? Or working without pay is to help try get the company off the ground since he has had to rebuild the business pretty much from the ground up? Stuffing there pockets... Really? Now that is funny. Yep, Steve is stuffing himself with 10-K papers forgiving his pay.
Well, everything that is out for the public to read say he left, not that he was fired!
You said he was and also stated you would provide proof... Which you did not and then said "it is locked up with HR" since you could NOT produce the proof. Easy way out I say.
Steve wasn't fired. I posted before what happened and I'm not going to post it again and fill the board with the same thing again and again.
Do I think Steve left on his own... absolutely! He wasn't fired and there is NO proof of that either.
The only "fact" is that other people have posted it on here... And thatvis far from a fact and more like an opinion.
Again, I will wait for something to come from Tesla corporate before making an assumption.
As for test drives, again we don't know for a fact if there was or wasn't any like I stated before. I wasn't there to see and won't actually say there weren't any since I don't know. That way I'm not assuming either way.
We don't know if people did or didn't drive it BUT that wasn't the purpose of the show or what normally happens at that show. I'm sure if a perspective buyer wanted to drive it, he would invite them to Corona, CA to do so.
It was sometime last year... This was along with him not getting paid for the work he does. But all along people were saying he was draining money from the company when that was not the case at all.
The stock is being traded yes... I didn't know that there is something wrong with that? And why now bring up another topic? To get off the other one already being discussed?
You did read the 10-K right? I posted where he didn't get paid and also loaned money to the company? Now really, if he WAS getting paid why in the world would he loan the company money? That really doesn't add up IMO based on what you are trying to say.
Well you did say the CEO was living well taking the $20k a month when we all know that was not true... But never mentioned that he gave the company money... But yes, very trustworthy right?
How is the proof for the firing coming along? That is something along with CEO pay that was the big talk till I brought it to everyones attention the truth that was in the 10-k and that there is NO pproof of firing but you also ignored that fact but I'm not surprised at all. Then it was onto something new that is picked apart since those aren't working anymore.
Just because they talked to him doesn't mean he was as you say "cleared" to speak. They just grabbed him and asked some questions and instead of saying I don't know, he gave answers.
I have talked about the dash alert on another post and like I said before, it will be worked out... And to also remember that this is an R&D model of the car and it is not unusual for check engine lights to be on or the dash to look like a Christmas tree with lights on.
As for the price... We don't know what that car had and have just been told what the price was approximately. Again, wait for more to come out to fill the gaps.
The warning light to me will be taken car of... It will be worked out.
Maybe he didn't hear him... Maybe he thought he said something else.
We still don't know what if anything with Saleen and Tesla together is going on. Just random people saying they aren't doesn't mean anything at all. Until I hear something directly from Tesla about the subject I will not make my final decision on that subject. I'm sure in the coming weeks there will be a lot more about this project coming out to fill the gaps we currently have.
Is he on the r&d or engineering team... No! This stuff is kept under wraps when being done. Look at the S7 as an example. That being said he won't have a clue as it has just been unveiled to the public and again thats why they should only be speaking to Steve or Sven.
Where you there when they arrived? How do you know it wasn't driven? You don't so its just speculation you have that it wasn't driven.
In my opinion, the person recording it should have been only speaking with Sven or Steve. Obviously, the guy they spoke to had really no clue what he was talking about especially when asked how many will be produced and he said 500 like all the others. At that point I didn't listen to anything else he said as he has no clue. I will listen to Steve and Sven regarding the specs of the car but not just some random employee.
This still doesn't change my opinion of Saleen or any new products they are coming out with just because "max" did an interview that went wrong from the start.
I suggest that you wait as Saleen has the Tesla and the 2015 mustang hitting soon. But only you can decide what is best for you to do with your investments.
Well, I will believe Saleen over what has been posted by others.
They have done more the a body kit etc... Read the specs and you will see. Again, wait and see for ALL the complete specs to be posted and then your opinions.
BUT, you and others keep putting information out that nobody knows yet because and you said it yourself, they haven't released the info!
So why not wait till the complete specs are released... Then and only then IF it doesn't meet your standards make your opinions of the car?
Ah yes, more opinions. The only things posted from the 10-K are facts with everything else opinions. I think you also said they wouldn't release the Saleen Tesla and we all know how that turned out. Next up the 2015 Mustang in a few months but then again they won't release that one either right?
How is the proof coming along for him getting "fired" in 2007? Oh ya, I forgot HR has it locked up right lol.
I think the board users that are here for the good can read between the lines...
I'm not even looking at that site since it has nothing to do with what this site is about. Not everyone is going to like every car that's produced. Everyone can have there own opinion on liking or disliking it. Just posting the same link again and again doesn't prove anything.
I will wait for the fill details to come out on the car before I make my final conclusion on it. Let some magazines drive it and give feedback. We are talking 1-2 days after it was released and everyone is coming to conclusions on things that aren't even in print yet.
Of course not... Not the same at all as you say. Just because they had ads about something brand new that they were working on doesn't mean they stated they were working with Tesla... It was never stated. Seems that anything that can be picked apart to bring Saleen down and this is just another example. Just like the CEO making all this $$$ and draining the company of money when that is not the case at all according to the 10-K.. Once that was pointed out it went on to the next item on the list to pick apart.
Can't wait to see what is said when the 2015 Mustang is unveiled because thats not going to happen either right?
So let me get this straight... Saleen must also be doing the same with the Mustang, Camaro and Challenger right? It is PR... They were working on a Saleen Tesla. No different then them talking about the 2015 Mustang!
oh here we go again... I think I heard it before that you can't believe everything you read online. This is just another example. Hmmm, just someone contacting someone at the VP level of Telsa getting information...
And another thing... Saleen has NEVER LINKED themselves to TESLA! You keep doing it but Saleen directly has NOT.
I am sure there is something in the works with Tesla just like Ford, Dodge and Chevy regarding the warranty.
Also, many more items have been changed/upgraded on the car... more then just interior and body kit.
nono... no argument... I think you misunderstood. I am for the car and Saleen, just saying the options (brakes as an example) that he is putting on the car is not cheap and is in competition with Mercedes as an example.
But I have a question, I thought you already stated that they will not release this car to begin with? Now they have but now your talking about deposits on orders for a car you said would not be produced or released...
Hmmm.. What does Teslamotors.com say the P85+ does 0-60 in? Not 3.7 according to what they have listed as the specs of the car...
Also, it says in the past 30 miles... Do you really think this car has been driven nicely to conserve energy? You also don't know how fast this car has been driven the last 30 miles as it takes more energy to drive at 80mph vs 40mph... There are many factors not known for the 417wh/mi that is displayed on the dash. Lets wait and see what the magazines have to say about the wh/mi before we start guessing.
I agree 100%. The items that Steve put on this car are high end and going after like he said, the S65 AMG Mercedes. The brake upgrade is not cheap at all, along with all the interior work that has been done.. Plus the Lizstick Red paint. I hope to be able to drive one of these soon.
Hmmm... Well they have a body kit that is available... What have they done to the drivetrain or interior? Oh, and did they do something to the rear diff too?
The reason why the one shown was $200k is because of the Paint... It looks like its Liztick Red which is an additional option. So the one shown without the paint would be about $175k
I am sure this just part of the R&D. I have driven prototype cars before that have had this very thing... Not out of the ordinary at all.
Me either. This will be very exciting to see!
Well that makes sense. They have shown off new products before at that show. Can't wait to see the results that they have been working on.
It is a beautiful car. The pics dont do justice for the speedlab yellow paint which you have to see in person.
Lol. Whatever you say buddy. I know I trust what Saleen will do with the car much more then what you post.
Yes, he will be around and I think there will be an announcement regarding the Saleen Tesla S at the show. I cannot wait to see the finished vehicle.
10-K states he did not get paid....
Now regarding the expenses like travel... ah ya, he will have that stuff covered since it is for the company. He goes to several shows a year and you think he should pay for that when he doesn't even get a paycheck??? Now really this is pulling stuff out of any place possible... Just like him getting fired which DIDN'T even happen!
They are working on the Tesla... Please explain how they should talk about it from your view point?
Of course they are going to talk about a new exciting project... Not ONCE have they stated a partnership and I am almost positive Tesla is interested to see what comes of this.
What Lifestyle are you speaking of? Steve Saleen? IF thats the case, he isn't getting paid and let the company borrow money from him so ya, living a lavish lifestyle right?
And why not wait and see what happens with the Saleen Tesla? More to come I'm sure in about a month about it at the Saleen Show just like I have been saying for a week or so now.
Hmmm I would have to disagree with that statement but this is my opinion about that.
And then again, what does it really matter what age the buyers are?
I DIDN'T say that Saleen and Tesla have a relationship... I said that we don't know what it will be and to stop making opinions on something non of us know anything about!!!!!
Its called Opinion. Thats all they are is opinions and nothing more. Unless there is specific information from either company.
