That is my exact spec alsoā¦Iām guessing they have some of those sitting in a lot. Guessing delivery might be sooner than the 4-8 weeks quoted. Iāve not received my VIN yetā¦but I just ordered late this afternoon. My existing lease doesnāt expire for 9 weeks.
Curiousā¦are the last four digits of your VIN in the 4,000s or 5,000s? Trying to figure out how many of these things have been/will be turned out by the time we receive ours. The more the better.
I just submitted my order for Glacier White with 20ā wheels. I noticed all of the extra cost available colors were 4-8 weeks, only Esker Silver was 8-12 weeks. I again content this is a profit play. Non metallic white should be cheaper than the Silver.
I suspect you are correct. I like the Coastal Cloud interior but my use case makes the black
Interior better choice for hiding dirt and grime. I need the towing package and full autonomy+ is sufficient for me. The benefits of LIDAR are likely several years out. I may someday regret the...
I might add that a manufacturer can change a parts supplier a few years into production which can cause new problems. Nothing is perfect and initial problems may not be a good predictor of future problems. My current ride is a BMW IX50; a vehicle that has generally been reported as very...
With the exception of a few flatbed situations, the charge port door alignment is the most cited problem with the R2. That is highly encouraging
For $200 you can āupgradeā to a regular steering wheel.
š yepā¦your rims and tires werenāt designed for rock crowding. I would almost be even more worried about destroying your soft road purposed tires. If it makes you feel better I doubt the 20ā wheels would have fared much better. Large rocks tear up rimsā¦.I have a lifted Jeep Wrangler with...
Thatās what I would have thought but I will have the 20ā tires and Kyleās test would seem to indicate 2.2 MPK at 80 mph with the 21ā tires. I suspect the 20ā would be closer to 2.0 MPK in this same test.
I currently lease a BMWIX50 that generally does the trip using 2.6 MPKā¦at about 70 mph...
I understand why the R2 has less efficiency than the MYP at high speeds, but given their nearly identical EPA range I would have expected a far closer efficiency result at lowee speeds. Not sure why the differenceā¦something seems amiss. It will be interesting to see other tests. Hopefully...
Since the ix3 is manufactured overseas significant tariffs must be accommodated in the price. I suspect the ix3 and R2 would be closer in retail cost if tariffs were rolled back.
Absolutely correctā¦.but sometimes a lot of enjoyment can be derived from driving something more fun and unique...
My wife and I test drove an R2 yesterday with the 20ā wheels. I echo much of what has been observed. I have a projected Aug/Sept order window and am looking at replacing a 2024 BMW IX50 (expiring lease) and a lifted 2020 Wrangler Rubicon with my next purchase.
A few other observations;
