Guys, I'm pretty much at the end of my patience here.
Let me make something CRYSTAL clear here: I have more personally invested in John Perez and in getting this both right and functioning properly than any of you who are owed parts.
Once again, Doug has decided to cross over to the Lotus forum, once again, taking a shot at turning more people against me, personally, which jeopardizes the entire operation.
Here's his post from Lotus Talk.
The Tesla community has more updates here:
If you've had dealings with Carbon One, please read.
Briefly: Looks like John moved to Florida to work with Allen and form G3 Composites. One Tesla guy managed to get some air intakes. As far as I know, no other Tesla owner owed parts has received any since Allen got involved. However, G3 Composites has been selling Corvette and Camaro parts on the respective car forums.
I'm pretty much done here, guys. The next time someone tries to take a shot at pointing people at me to suggest nothing is getting done, and thereby jeopardizing my personal capital investment in this whole project, I'm pulling out.
I'm closing the doors and I'm going to go back to sitting on my sofa playing XBox.
If you just want to stir the pot and be a disagreeable and miserable children, then I suggest you all try to work out getting your parts individually.
Lastly, I now realize that my honesty and desire to make your problems my own were a mistake. I should have quietly worked with John and not disclosed my partnership with him and no one would have been the wiser. Moving forward, I will no longer be updating this thread. If you are owned parts, please contact me directly at
[email protected] should you want a status report.
The only updates you'll be getting are from members who have received their parts or those who communicate with me directly. I'm officially done with trying to be 100% open and honest about my personal business.
If you find this to be displeasing, please send a PM to Doug to thank him.
Also, the new molds are complete for the door sills. We will ship our first set to Jaff this upcoming Friday. All additional orders will work from the list starting at the top.
