Does the R2 make noise at low speeds? Are there any videos showing this specifically? I'm curious what kind of tone it has as some cars are quite harsh (which I guess is the point).

This is a legal requirement for all EVs and hybrids that can run without the engine.

Ironically, my friend's new ultra-quiet Chevy truck is nearly silent and my EV is vastly louder.

LOL- right? In store parking lots I always hear EV's coming, hybrids and ICE - not so much.

Also, my neighbor's R1T is incredibly loud, I can hear him turn the corner a couple blocks out. Mine, barely audible.
