looking at the new Landcruiser price, I put a reservation on the R2. I don't think it will be $45k. might be single motor with a small battery for that price.

I'm hoping $55 to $60k is a reasonable equipped one. duo motor with 300+ range. maybe battery tech will improve between now and then. 0-60 in 3 sec is not needed. it is stupid fast. I'll take 4 seconds :). if battery tech gets better, it will get the car weigh down and that will improve everything overall. right now the R1S at 7000 lbs is a lot mass to wheel around.

I like the R3X. might have to reserve that as well :) remind me of when WRX just came out (to US market). always like a rally car. but if Hyundai can get the Ioniq N's range a little more, that will be fine as well.

I agree that $55-60K for a dual motor with 300 mile range is probably the reality. It’s what I’m looking for when I go to replace my BS BL.
