I just ordered a Luce on the condition that they'll take my Aztec in on trade

They are absolute fools to not rush this into production. Do they have any idea how many storm sensitive owners that can't wait to get their hands on a quiet energy system that actually starts when it's needed? I would buy this in a heartbeat over having to listen to my generator after a hurricane.

I just leased a Model 3 for my daughter (17 years olden accidents) My insurance went up $750/month. That was Nationwide. Gieco was $2 cheaper. I almost returned the car.

I've had R1S with 20 and 21's. The 21 was more of a raid tire and had better range and was quieter. The 20's are more off-road worthy and absorb more road imperfections. The 20 inch wheel with AT tires also have a slightly bigger diameter and IMO look better on an off roadish vehicle

The mechanics at the Ft. Myers service center have been spot on. Maybe bad mechanics is just a regional thing. They replaced my AC system and even the carpet as it apparently had become wet. They also offered to deliver my car when finished even though I'm 30 miles south.

Why would the R2 have a locking diff when the R1 doesn't even have one? Nor will you need it. If you're going that hardcore you're looking at the wrong vehicle.

China subsidizes by offering more than zero interest loans. They also refuse to protect intellectual property making R&D significantly cheaper when you just copy others work. Not to mention human rights violations that would put any Western firm in prison. So no, I'm not impressed by Chinese...

I couldn't get 18,000 out of mine before the noise became too much. That's happened to me on an R1T and an R1S. I do more city driving and I think that's the catch. It's hard not to use all that power when it's just right there!

I'm pretty content with quick charging with 300 miles of range (which I rarely use). Bigger battery=more weight= more tires and poorer handling. I'd prefer to live with smaller battery, better handling and longer tire life as that's 95% of my use. To sacrifice those thing for 25% more range when...

Not so sure it was outgassing as much as melting of the bag sealant

Nice. You managed to make fun of people with speech issues and denigrate elderly people in one paragraph. I know a lot of engineers who are pretty smart and not socially underdeveloped, then there's you. That being said, many of the sharpest minds and best innovators didn't need engineering...

Probably because they want to actually sell them

I know right?! and I can't see an 8 track player either. WTF?

This is getting interesting. I guess we'll know in 3 days

It doesn't hurt to be skeptical...I have learned that if it sounds too good to be true...
