Neil just stated production should start around this time next year

For anyone coming today the line is currently fairly short, only about a 20min wait

Primer only will not be an option. Lug pattern yet to be determined other than 5

Another question which came out of some confusion after the Charlotte event is to try and confirm the manufacturer(s) for the manual transmission and AMT as well as confirming whether they are still looking at using the same base transmission in both versions with the AMT being an add-on component.

They are the same and amt is a bolt on

Josh ....

would you please see if they have decided at what point the first year reservation will end .... once they close it, will they issue reservation numbers to those with less than $1,000 All In .... doing so would sure help folks in making plans

Jim

Not yet decided

I hope this light operates in the two-step fashion which has become more common in recent years where if the light comes on you still have time to get off the road as this is a warning however once it starts flashing then you know you are hosed. We will see.

By the way this is the way many idiot lights work in many cars today and actually is the way the check engine light is supposed to work by law. Of course your best bet is always to avoid having the lights come on in the first place however if one of those lights come on make sure to check it out right away as once it does start flashing you can bet you are causing some damage.

It will come on before there is damage but Jerome was unsure as to one step or two step. No gauge however.

EM has announced it will offer 7 different colors but the last I heard the exact colors had not yet been selected .... if info is available it would help the guys on the forum who can handle the graphics to post the production colors .... any info would be appreciated

Jim

Exact shades not yet selected, once they are they will include paint chips on the tour.

Didn't they have these 7 colors picked out before the plant was finalized? Was it just coincidence that they picked 7 colors and the plant just happened to have 7 booths? Or did the plant negotiations come first thereby limiting their colors to 7?
Bottom line in my confusing question: which came first, the plant with the paint booth limits or the number of colors offered?

They chose the number of colors based on the number of paint booths.

 

[Joshua Caldwell]

I have a question for the team. Is there a time line for, what has to happen and when, to get from now to the start of production?

Yes, and given the highly negative responses and being called liars in the past when missing goals they will never publish another timeline.
