What will a tri-motor R2 cost?
$60k-$69k is my best guess
How much range do you feel we can realistically expect from a tri-motor R2?
300 - 350 miles of range
When will it be available?
Hard to say. My intuition tells me it will be the last of the R2s produced due to the different rear...
I wouldn't be so sure. Look at the R1 gen 2. They started with dual motor because the tri and quad both used a different rear motor. If they want to scale production quickly they will probably start with dual motor or single motor RWD depending on which part is supply constrained the most. I...
Honestly not a fan of the color of the brake calipers and the accent on the badge for the Quad...Does not look good with Black Exterior Color IMO. I think they did that with only Storm Blue in mind? Otherwise it's kinda not great...
Yeah I don't expect anything crazy that will set the Quad...
Yeah I suppose it's about your priorities. I did not like the following in the Lyriq:
UI/Interface
On/Off Button
Massaging Seats were not great imo
Cameras sucked / display was tiny and lack of the ability to keep rear camera on was annoying
Initial acceleration was very bad
Outside of all this...
Sorry but these are not a good comparison at all...Where are you seeing the similarities? Escalade IQ is a dual motor setup first of all. Why not get a dual or tri motor R1S if your alternative is the Escalade IQ, also the IQ looks bad compared to the IQL.
Again, how are you comparing the quad...
Based on the specs it doesn't seem like the gen 2 quad will "Mop the floor" with the Cybertruck Tri-Motor setup, at least 0-60. The 1/4 mile has the R1 quad winning by 1/2 a second and the R1 Tri motor is actually matched the CT CB number at 11 seconds. So it will definitely pull harder once it...
I imagine it will not come until Q3 or Q4 this year...Reason being they are probably still working out some of the tuning with the 4 motor system and they also want to push tri motor sales as long as they can before they become stagnant.
The prototype in the out of spec video had issues where...
Actually this is also standard procedure so they can get all the ballistic material installed and make some welds where necessary.
Leaving all that installed could cause damage to the interior seats, trim, carpet, etc.
That's a great question...
The answer is...it depends...
So the manufacturer reserves the right to determine if something that the owner did to the vehicle directly resulted in a malfunction that would be covered under warranty. Let's use this example below...
You get a HV battery fault error...
It’s an optional feature with a ballistic blanket installed under the carpet. It’s designed to keep the occupants safe, not the vehicle in that regard. It’s not a tank lol.
Perhaps in the movies or a foreign government asset, but random acts of violence or targeted crime is most often committed with handguns or 5.56 at most. Common criminals aren’t carrying around 50 BMG, 300 Win Mag, or 338 Lapua…
Even the targeted heists in South Africa are mostly using 5.56 or...
Unfortunately even if you're not a high profile target, you can still be the target of random violence. We have had many road rage shooting incidents here. It's pretty sad.
