I’m sorry, but this video was so aggravating to watch. RJ introduced this back in March…how do you guys know so little about it? I was so frustrated watching this because I was hoping for some new insights, but you didn’t even know the R2, which I immediately reserved after it rolled out during the launch event, is starting at $45K. I thought you were “Dr. Know-it-All…” Had you known that and seen any other coverage out there, you would have never guessed $50K for the R3. $35K would be a more educated guess. A fully-loaded R3X, tri-motor may max out around $55K. Also, RJ already told us the R2/R3/R3X will come in single, dual and tri-motor configurations. I just don’t understand walking blind into doing coverage of a highly-anticipated vehicle like this, offering a first look with no real knowledge of it, when this is a niche with very devoted enthusiasts, craving more in-depth information. For those who are seeing the R3 for the first time, it would leave them with a lot of unanswered questions and inaccurate conjecture.
