Yeah that was settled on page 1 :CWL: we've been just vibing in this thread since getting the page count up

Just economics. Ship higher priced higher revenue orders first, delay lower margin orders.

So likely a low end of the expected range test. So 225 miles is the floor, which goes back to 250 miles is the "highway range number" IMO. Could be 225, could be 275 dependent on your scenario.

Agreed - this is the right answer. For the record, the R2 I test drove twice on different days said it was averaging 4 miles per kWh, which is 250 Wh/mile. The test drives were a mix of highway and around town driving. I've long said people should just assume 250 miles as the range of the R2...

This is expected and not bad at all considering the speed and AT tires. You can squeeze out far more than 250 miles at lower speeds. Averaging 78 mph is unlikely for most people IMO. Averaging 70 mph is much more likely.

I think you wrote a lot of words here but ended up just agreeing with the poster you quoted lol. Don't read too much into things. Aerodynamic drag is key at highway speeds and not weight, we all agree. This thread is about highway speeds, as it is titled.

Building on this, you can pretty easily convert a normal NEMA 5-20 120v receptacle to a NEMA 6-20 240v receptacle. Just need a dual pole 20 amp breaker instead of the single pole 120v breaker for like $20. The neutral white wire becomes a hot/load wire on the 6-20 outlet (and in the panel box)...

Agreed. And it's like that on almost everything else too. I went and test drove last week after having read just about everything on this forum, and I had no issues despite the countless things people didn't like about the car. Nothing substitutes going and seeing for yourself. The scroll...

Like 30 page AM/FM radio thread, the sound system (lack of) quality is also overblown. It's good, not great. But good.

I took the comments as speaking about 800v infrastructure, not the ability to charge in general. Pointing out that the 800v cars in OOS road trip challenge didn't beat out their 400v counterparts bc of the lack of ubiquitous 800v charging infrastructure today. The thing about 800v cars is they...

Ioniq 5, EX60 and iX3 are going to be ~8 to 10 min quicker 10 to 80% bc they’re 800v. R2 is as good or slightly better than Model Y that I’ve seen. R2 has maxed out 400v charging speeds IMO (unless you have a small battery car).

Serious question: who is selling an 800v EV today that’s under $50k in the USA? I can’t think of any. You said R2 is a bad deal except under $50k. Maybe Kia or Hyundai have something?

Yes we are all ready for it but it’s not here yet. Tesla has deployed about 10 of those V4 cabinet sites nationwide today. The 325 kW is for Cybertruck only; the cabinets are V3 and not 800v. Only the very brand new V4 cabinets sites do 800v and up to 500 kW. That’s why I said by 2030ish yeah...

Well I mean I agree with that, but that’s not reality. 400v is reality in the USA today and for the next few years at least. Is what it is. Charging infrastructure is a few years away and I have no doubt next gen R1 and R2 will be 800v.

Every EV tapers heavily at 80% whether 400v or 800v, unless you live in China. 800v is faster 10 to 80% than 400v but everything slows down at 80% not bc of heat but bc cell capacity is nearly full. R2 appears to be as good as any 400v vehicle is capable of. If you want faster you’ll have to buy...
