WHY MAKE RESERVATIONS FLEXIBLE AND TRADEABLE
Many vehicles from different manufacturers currently require you to wait as they are not readily available or not available in the configuration you would like.
Even if you are ‘on the list’ at your local dealer or the manufacturer, your place in the queue is static and, in many cases, not defined in time.
DeLorean wants to bring your pre-sales experience into the 22nd century by democratizing access and making the experience as flexible, fun and transparent as we can make it. As the delivery date of our vehicle is not known at this time, DeLorean wants to ensure you can move your reservation in time depending on the needs and wants you have. The DeLorean Exchange is your place to work with other Alphas Club members to sell/buy/trade your Digital-Twin avatar and production slot

WHY 9,351 ALPHA5S
Historically, DeLorean had an alleged production run of 9,350 vehicles in the 1980’s. Our Alpha5 production plan offers a wink to the past, while understanding that limiting production over the planned 6-year production run for this new DeLorean icon will assist our future owners with the best possible residual value proposition
WHAT IS A DIGITAL-TWIN AVATAR
To enable a DeLorean Exchange and DeLorean Flex reservations, DeLorean deployed the power of blockchain as underlying technology. This allowed us to create a literal digital twin to the future physical Alpha5 in the form of an avatar. In this first reservation of production slots, the Alpha5 avatar will show as a transparent vehicle with a specific production slot, as no final colors and options have been chosen. At a future date, when colors and options have been chosen, the Digital-Twin avatar will be updated with the actual selections made and will reflect your future physical Alpha5 complete with the VIN number of that vehicle.
HOW DO I ORDER AN ALPHA5 WHEN NO PRODUCTION SLOTS REMAIN AVAILABLE
Step 1 – Become an Alphas Club member
This is an $88 lifetime membership, that amongst other benefits grants access to DeLorean’s reservation platform, the DeLorean Exchange. Reserve
Step 2 – Purchase a specific Digital-Twin avatar tied to a numbered production slot on the DeLorean Exchange from the Alphas Club member community starting October 15th.
I PURCHASED MY DIGITAL-TWIN AVATAR AND RANDOMIZED PRODUCTION SLOT, BUT I DO NOT SEE MY EXACT PRODUCTION NUMBER
Between the opening of purchasing Digital-Twin avatars on September 30th and 24 hours before opening the DeLorean Exchange on October 15th, the exact production slot number will remain hidden. All owners of Digital-Twin avatars with unknown production slots will receive their exact randomized production slot number on October 14th
IS THE PRODUCTION SLOT NUMBER THE SAME AS THE FINAL DIGITS OF MY VIN NUMBER ON THE ALPHA5
DeLorean seeks to retain parity between the production slot number and the final four (4) digits of the vehicle’s VIN number. This is not guaranteed at this moment, and we will advise should we deviate from this intent.
I PURCHASED MY PRODUCTION SLOT, BUT I DO NOT LIKE MY NUMBER | TOO EARLY (LOW), TOO LATE (HIGH)
With DeLorean Flex reservations, you can sell or trade your Digital-Twin avatar with a specific production slot on the DeLorean exchange with other Alphas Club members.
CAN I PURCHASE MORE THAN ONE (1) DIGITAL-TWIN AVATAR PRIOR TO OCTOBER 15TH

WHEN WILL I BE ABLE TO SELECT COLORS AND OPTIONS FOR MY ALPHA5
6 months prior to the start of production, the owner of that production slot will be invited to select their colors, options etc. and specify their future Alpha5 exactly to their liking. DeLorean will request a non-refundable $5,000 deposit to customize the Alpha5.
A new Digital-Twin avatar to your future Alpha5 will be send to your digital wallet reflecting the final specifications of your vehicle.
HOW WILL MY INVESTMENTS IN THE PURCHASE OF MY AVATAR / RANDOMIZED PRODUCTION SLOT ($2,500) AND CUSTOMIZATION ($5,000) OF MY ALPHA5 BE REFLECTED IN THE FINAL PRICE
At delivery of your Alpha5, your $7,500 investment will be reflected in the final purchase price.
