  1. Growing efficiency Gap: R2 w/ 21" vs. 20" tire sets

    Everybody laughed at happy squares. Well who's laughing now??
  2. Growing efficiency Gap: R2 w/ 21" vs. 20" tire sets

    On point 1, I have been very interested in seeing what range the premium trim's 20" aero-ish wheels get.
  3. It’s August —Any Insights Into When Coastal Cloud Can Be Ordered?

    I'm eagerly awaiting more pictures of what it looks like. Videos of a pre-production version of CC in a borealis R2 make it look very white, almost like the Tesla white interior, but people keep saying that it will be more of a light gray.
  4. R2 Highway Efficiency Test: Uphill at 75–80 mph, Then a More Civilized 70 mph Run

    Maybe giving OOS some credit, it's sounding like 250 +/- 20 miles is looking like an okay estimate for generic highway driving. I really want to take this thing out for a drive on 280 between SF and San Jose.
  5. R2 - Real world 259 mile round trip efficiency results (at 100+ degrees)

    It's nice to get some real-world California data this early. I feel better about the range given the distance you covered while pushing the HVAC in triple digit heat. My usage will probably be very similar (but hopefully a tad cooler outside!).
  6. R2 vs Model Y 70-MPH Highway Range Test (by Out of Spec)

    It seems plausible enough to me that the MYP and MYAWD get very similar range on the 70mph test because it is probably dominated by aero (similar body shape, similar battery capacity). In another thread someone posted a chart of efficiency factors vs. speed, and at freeway speeds it's almost...
  7. R2 vs Model Y 70-MPH Highway Range Test (by Out of Spec)

    The 250 mile figure is pretty disappointing, but considering the other options I think I'm still on board for now. The MY really is the best like for like competitor IMO. Despite costing more, I have less confidence in the autonomy actually improving on the EX60 and iX3. And the Ioniq 5 RWD...
  8. Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

    Hi, all. I'm an R2 reservation holder in the the SF bay area. The reservation is slated for Sept-Oct, which means I'll finally be upgrading my aging Honda Insight to something larger. I did one of the early demo drives in Palo Alto and R2 should be a huge upgrade in just about every way. As...
