I was there last week demoing the R2. They have at least four of them, three demo units and one in the showroom. They just hand you the keys and you have 1/2 hour to drive around .
Here's a stupid question: If these are production R2's, how do they know what to build if the reservation holders haven't even been able to specify what they want?
I can think of 30,000 reasons. As well as it being more cost friendly, I don't need a 3 row SUV the size of the R1S. The R2 is perfect for me stats-wise.
The Mach E Rally is probably more of a closer comparison, which i'm interested in as well as the R2. It seems to have some off road chops as opposed to the run of the mill Mach E.
