I don't live in Cali. I can't pretend I'm 25-30 forever and get away with it.
I’m personally getting the R3X Botox Edition.

I certainly wouldn't get rid of my R1, but I don't think it looks like a sports car replacement either, unfortunately. I'm very interested in tech specs though. If the thing winds up being relatively light (for an EV) and has stupid performance, maybe I would forgo a true sports car and get one. As-is, my wife is very interested in R3X to replace her Kia Stinger GT...but is also looking at the EV6 GT / Ioniq 5 N as well. If Porsche comes out with the BEV 718 Cayman anytime soon that would be near the top of my list though, since I expect it to be well under 4000 lbs and have mid-engine handling characteristics. On the ICE side, I'd have to weigh against the Toyota Supra and an ICE 718 Cayman.

0.) Yes, I'd buy one (R3X) tomorrow given the specs are decent
1.) Either the R1T or my Shelby Mustang. Swap R1T for R3X and swap Mustang for Gladiator PHEV
2.) I'm always plotting so who knows what will happen. I tend to swap out "fun" cars every 3 years, Mustang is on year 2 right now.

Keep my 2023 R1T (it’s paid off)
R3 as second car, or maybe R3X depending on pricing

I am replacing a Tesla Model 3 (2019) which I am selling in a week or 2 and I was looking at the Hyundai Ioniq 6 or a Nissan Leaf (owned one of these previously)

1). Not replacing anything. Just a fun car. It would have to be the R3X. Hope it's 1,000HP.
2). Was not looking for another car. Not sure what else is out there close to the R3X.
