YMMV but I reached out to service last week about that possibility and was told that those wheels are incompatible with Gen 1. No reason given and makes no sense to me. I hope that was just an early misunderstanding.
I forget which (maybe OOS), but in one of the videos on Gen 2 there was mention that the new 22’s were lighter. But yeah, all speculation at this point. Will be curious what you can learn tomorrow and to see efficiency tests once there are more deliveries.
For comparison sake with the Mach-e:
2022 Premium AWD - 277 mi
2022 CA RT1 AWD (only wheels/tires different) - 312 mi
An increase of 35 miles (12.6%) just from that.
Not quite what I was expecting but not nothing - “Honor24” for $5 off a heat shield.
Edit: to clarify that’s $5 per window, so essentially 10% off which isn’t bad and cancels out shipping in my case.
I used the master lock to lock the spare tire holder to the swing arm. The Kuat has a lock that is long enough and comes with it, so used that to lock the swing arm to the hitch.
I switched last July, so not a particularly early build R1S. Drives better IMO and prefer the shorter wheelbase and increased maneuverability. The one thing I miss is the gear tunnel - that was awesome to have!
edit to add: the driving characteristics changed considerably over the updates last...
