I'm sure they'll have a longer range battery. It's just not in the foreseeable future. If we're looking at their announcements over the last few months, when they introduced their dual motor and standard battery, those are pushed out til 2024. And that's a pretty aggressive schedule - which i don't know if they'll be able to hit. I guess that's in a perfect world. When i spoke to a rep about my R1S, I figured I'd rather have one now than wait a few years for 70+ miles of range? IF it comes out. I'll take the extra charge.I really like the R1S and I can't wait to receive it, but if I could add two more options, they would be:
1) Gear tunnel
2) Max pack battery
I know they are not technically feasible on the R1S, but it sure would have been wonderful to have.
