It’s kind of a physics problem. A bigger battery takes up more space and weighs more, so then you have to have a bigger vehicle to fit... -

Good points, except a bigger battery gives you the ability to add more kWh in the 10-80% fastest part of the charging curve. And a...

usulio replied to the thread Anyone have R2 highway driving range to share? (I'm sure the color you picked looks great).This is true, if you're constantly doing really long road trips. For a trip up to say 350 miles you can start at 100% and do one quick...

Sorry, but this is just unrealistic. We have enough data available to know that already.

If accurate, that is excellent, and much better than I am expecting. 20% below EPA (at a minimum) is what I am expecting.

The difference between 65 mph and 75 mph is huge for range like you said. You aren’t getting more than ~250 miles on the R2 going 75mph+...

Anything beyond R3 is likely three or more years away. Anyone serious about buying the R2 aren't going to wait that long.

Our gen2 R1S got 2.2mpk over the last 10k miles and we live in the mountains.
