Some reviewers have said it sounds digital or like what AI thinks a horn sounds like (ie artificial or fake).

The only R2 they’re selling right now is the Performance with Launch Package. I think they want to sell 20K to 25K of these before discontinuing the Launch Package. Similar to what they did with the R1. Eventually they’ll sell the Performance without the Launch Package, the Premium, and the...

Is it just me or does the R3’s Pernafrost kind of look like Limestone?

I see that too, but I’m definitely getting the long-range version, which has more color options. More importantly it has 70 more miles of range. I don’t have at-home charging and I only want to charge up once a week commuting back and forth to work, like I do with my Tesla Model 3.

I’m definitely considering getting an R2 Standard next year. Waiting on lease pricing vs. buying, lease buyout/trade-in, etc. I’ve seen a lot of discussions about getting the 20” wheels vs. the 21” wheels due to tire availability. What do you guys think of the 19” wheels vs. the 20” wheels? Is...

Haha. Yeah, we were definitely looking at what to do in Fishers, Indiana. Seems like a few nice parks and museums. It’s close to Indianapolis, too. Everything’s been postponed due to this stupid wildfire smoke though.

They need to pop one up at the Groveport, Ohio SC (suburb of Columbus), so I don’t have to drive to Indiana. Not that that wouldn’t be a fun little road trip (over 5 hours round trip to test drive a vehicle for 30 minutes)!

The current highest bid is $60K as of 7/17/26. That would cover the model w/ launch package and the optional paint, but not destination and taxes. I wonder if this is the same guy that wanted $77K+ for his R2 that he bought as a “gift”? No, wait, that was the Half Moon Grey color. This is...

I’d say that’s more of a nipple than a cone. 🤣

They absolutely do, but an enclosed vehicle is another matter. PETA reports a crisis of hot weather-related deaths of dogs and cats, with 123 deaths reported last summer (2025). Even on mild days, the heat inside a closed vehicle can reach dangerous levels within an hour, posing major health...

From what I’ve seen it’s the cooled seats that are noisy, but affective. Maybe an R2 owner or test driver can confirm.

Those look really cool.

Depends on where you live in Ohio. In the Columbus Metro area there are over 2 million people and 270, which circles the city, is like a race track. Some sections have up to 12 lanes (6 in each direction) with some people driving over 80MPH and weaving in and out of traffic. It can get pretty...

Woohoo! They’re ramping up.

Thanks for the info. Esker Silver looks great! I’m going to get an R2 Standard next year and will more than likely go with this color. Not bad for the default. I see you’re from Dayton. I’m from Columbus. Any chance you passed by Buc-ee’s? I heard they’re supposed to get 24 EV chargers. When I...
