At the block party, it wasn't clear how good the haptic wheels were. I wasn't necessarily amazed but just assumed it was because the car was static and maybe software not dialed in.
They did seem a bit plastiky. Need to try them more.
I test drove yesterday, there's definitely a learning curve using them. They felt solid to me, nice metallic and the clicks scrolling felt good. But the push/pull and sideways movements were difficult for me, I'm sure I'd get used to it with more time. And, I'm certain there will be updates for assigning what functions they have. Would be nice to have a bit more customization of what they can do.
Yep – need to be very guarded when it comes to these initial “press release reviews.“ The expectation is glowing feedback in return for free travel, lodging, meals, punch and pie. If you fail to deliver then you don’t get invited next time.
I'd like to know how the R2 gets more miles with the larger 21" wheels than the 20" wheels, the opposite of most if not all EV's ?
Isn't there already a comparison video out? I think I saw one floating around...
The 21" is a less aggressive all season tire compared to the all terrain 20"...not as much rolling resistance.
OK, that makes sense. So presumably you could put a less aggressive tire on the 20" rim and get even better range than the 21" version.
It's entirely down to the tires on the respective rims and nothing to do with the rim size. You can go with the 20s, put more efficient tires on there and likely get the same or better range as the 21s
