I'm rolling around in an iD4, so I'm use to half baked software/door handles/sunshades... I'll take an under cooked R2 all day vs the iD4! Funds are ready and near a SC - put me in coach!
Those figures reinforce that then ix3, despite being noticably longer than the id4, doesn't really add much extra storage space. I watched Bjorn's banana box test and the ix3 was underwhelming. I know this isn't the end all be all for measuring, but it's helpful to see how the space can be...
From what I can tell, the ix3 trunk space seems rather small given the size of the car. It appears the trunk space is roughly the size of the id4, which is disappointing. Much of the ix3 looks good but if theboot is as small as it appears, it would be a pass for us. The R2 trunk seems more...
I agree that most of the recent images and views do not have grab handles (oh sh1t handles!), so that is something I'm very interested in finding out more about. I have a few elderly family members that use them regularly when getting in out of the car, not to mention my kids using them daily...
I agree it was nice summary on their Lidar strategy/chip development. From this video, it definitely sounds like the Lidar and new chip set will not increase the overall cost of the R2 given the stated savings from developing their own chip vs buying the NVIDIA (which was indicated to be...
These are great videos - thanks. One thing I am curious about is if the back seats will recline. I haven't seen any reference to the rear seats reclining or not.

Reviews seem good, but I agree that a bit more of the details around the range and pricing would have been good. Doug did hint at the very end that he did see the pricing, and it looked really good. Not sure if he got a real sneak peak or just the generally talked about figures we see discussed.
