The R2 will start at $45,000 and will begin rolling off the production line in Normal, Illinois early in 2026.

These new EV companies have no plan to release affordable EVs anytime soon, huh? The sort of EV's equivalent of honda fit / ford fiesta with minimal features at affordable price?

I thought R2 is pretty much the size of a Honda CRV, much bigger than a Fit. The Fit has very little 2nd row room and a pathetic amount of space behind the seats, about as wide as a single carryon suitcase.

The R3 looked like the size of a Civic (but taller) and I do hope that one can get down into the 20k range, but I'll be surprised. Model 3 is still nearly 40k at minimum.
