also this Contract and development of the EDV was way before the IRA was passed- there has to be demand for Commercial Delivery vehicles with a 7500 credit no cap. they just cant sell them to anyone else yet.
I think everyone is making great points, I think this was touched on, but I think EV consumers aren't looking for the Ford 150 chassis on top of a battery skateboard, I think ultimately thats what went wrong. the what something that looks like a EV, IMO. Also the dealership model is hurting them...
sure, but does the soccer mom really care about the extra second to 60?- I think the dual motor large pack standard are what people are going to compare to the Model X seven seater... not the performance and I think it compares pretty well
edit- you should probably edit that in to your original...
"Model X dual motor with 7 seats, 348 miles range, and 3.8 0-60 = $83,490
R1S dual motor with 7 seats, 340 miles range, and 3.5 0-60 = $89,000"
this is the wrong price for the R1S dual motor- its 84k
IMO, I think enduro was meant for a single and dual motor set up because of its specs that are somewhat on par with the quad. The motor that RJ mentioned being tested in the Q&A will probably replace the Bosch quad R1 and future quad set ups I would bet. (this has already been said)
