My take on this as well. Hard to justify how integral your role was in the company and the reasons for some R2 hiccups, when prior to that, your division was watching over the R1 production line. We've seen how many of those had made it past all the checks only for glaringly obvious issues to...

No denying the iX is the better range vehicle, just tossing it in as a comparison between EPA range figures and reality.

I double checked just for the sake of his accuracy, and they are 20" aero wheels like stated in the video.

For those comparing to the new IX3, it fell short on range tests as well by about 86 miles at 110km/hr (68mph). So goes back to certification tests not reflecting real world conditions. Only 1 person so far has done a real world test thus far. Of note, the iX3 was initially touted as 400 miles...

Kinda sucks, was hoping for something closer to the stated range, something which the R1 initially was pretty good at achieving. I'd be curious apples to apples aero wise, which drivetrain would be more efficient?

As others have speculated, it's likely just something they're used to doing with Gen 1's to get at the penthouse. On Gen 2 packs I understand several of the components were relocated to an accessible port on the underside of the packs to facilitate service. R2, they likely just misspoke.

I can appreciate and watch the content while still being a bit taken aback by some of his comments. I understand he's built a business off reviews and being first out there with content is somewhat essential to that business. But, he does come off as an entitled kid that didn't get what he...

@Administrator not sure if you want to add this to the thread and just make it a Munro R2 video thread.

Funny, because even to this day, leasing in Canada still isn't an option, only purchasing.

Bingo! I've considered this a few times "how will I use the truck outside of warranty?" and I keep coming back to the fact that I bought this to really use on a daily basis for commuting, renos, yard work, and back country adventures. I'll keep using it to do those things well outside of...

I would assume one of two things is happening, both of which caused by some software issue. A. Your battery BMS for whatever reason is reporting the entire capacity of you pack, rather than just the typical unreserved net kWh like us peons see via Roamer. Typically 135-141kWh gross, 131kWh or...

Must be nice!

I wish. But given the need to become profitable, they would need to weigh good will vs potential survival. I suppose you could say that good will buys them additional brand loyalty, which is why I give them a bit of slack considering the preorder deal.

As a data point I recently had 2 front dampers (Retrofit with Firestone Gen 2), one rear damper, and all 4 half shafts swapped. I asked them how much it would have been had I not been in warranty, they said 15k CDN + tax. I had expected mid 20's so not great, but better than I expected.

Just wait... all the AI CapEx circular financing BS that's happening right now is going to start to blow up in companies and unfortunately retail investors faces.
