I was bummed about this too. It was probably a safety concern. It’s also probably why no other vehicle has it in the US either. Plus they want you to buy that rooftop camper that may never come out.This is very disappointing. This was one of the main things I liked about the R2. I am 6'4" and I liked the idea of car camping. Don't know if this is a dealbreaker for me or not but sad to hear this.
