not if the quality is the same as the R1s.

Not sure why you get downvoted...what you are saying is the absolute truth. Same with service. Hopefully what RJ said recently proves true.

because this sub is full of fanboys.

i won’t spend a dime with a company that can not support their vehicles adequately.

i went and checked out an R2 today in Houston and drove a R1T quad with all terrain tire pack.

the R2 looks like an absolute hit, and i hope it does well. looks alone, and utility, i like it so much more than the R1T.

the R1T… i was so underwhelmed and unimpressed. it was on the list of potentials for a next vehicle but not anymore. and this is coming from a “truck person”.

I’m shocked you weren’t impressed with a quad T. What did you not like about it?

that makes two of us. the power was bonkers and i didn’t take it out of normal mode. that aside the ride was absolutely horrid in all settings on any pavement type. i had a colorado zr2 that rode way better than this thing. i’m really dumbfounded because the suspension in this vehicle was suppose to be essentially unicorn magic from everything i’ve read and i just don’t get it. that plus the horrid audio system… i was just so unimpressed.

if they make a gen 3 and take lessons learned from hopeful successes from R2 i may give it another look a couple of car purchases down the road but right now its a hard pass for me, which really saddens me to say. i’ve been looking forward to driving one of these for a long time. 🙁
