Hey all, I'm new here - and I mainly joined to seek advice from those people here who seem knowledgeable.
I've locked configuration on an R1S, Performance Dual Motor, Large Battery with 21 inch wheels. That was back in November and there is no estimated delivery.
While exploring the R1 shop (as I do almost daily) I found an R1S, with the same specs, but it was a quad. Cost was essentially $3K more. The price isn't really a deterrent at this point - I mostly want the better vehicle.
I made my decision after watching Sandy Munroe's tear down of the DM variant and Kyle's (out of spec) assessment of the DM vs. Quad.
But I'm starting to have second thoughts. The only way to change things at this point would be to buy from the Shop - which would be nice to get it earlier, but that isn't exactly a deal breaker either.
So - now that the DM have been out for a while, is there anything that people are hearing or know from first had experience that would sway them one way or the other?
Appreciate the thinking!
