Hi all. This is my first post, although I’ve been lurking for a couple months as I contemplate the decision for my next toy.
I was at a local dealer this week who also confirmed a few of these same details. No new models for 2018 and no "performance" improvements. All focus has been on improvements to range and charging speed/capacity. Oh, and some new/different colors. The gentleman indicated that the price difference between remaining 2017 models and new 2018 models is about $2,000.
I fully understand focusing all progress on range and charging at this point, as that is my own biggest hesitation about jumping on board. I love the idea of electric, and the 13.0 will (barely) meet my daily commute of 100 (mostly freeway) miles. The SR would be a daily rider for me 90-95% of the time. It’s that other 5-10% of the time that causes me to hesitate... the Saturday rides with buddys, where I have to stop, turn around, and go home after 50 miles while they all continue riding the rest of the day. That thought makes me sad.
Anyway, I’m definitely interested.
