This SUV looks interesting - has anyone gotten close with one?

Just saw one in MN a couple nights ago when I went out to dinner. I did not know they were out yet. It looked nice, same color as your photo. I like them. It appears smaller than typical SUVs in person. Size and shape reminded me of the original 4-Runners kinda.

They're often at C&C's near me. They look terrific. Impressive.

Didn't see that one yet, but did see the pickup, and the owners always seem to make it a point to peel out from every stop, lol. I think a decontented, simplified one would be awesome, just so many things that can go wrong on that thing, everything is motorized.

Looking at one and thinking, this weighs well over 7000 lb, blows my mind. They're not that large.

I wonder what the 60-0 stopping distance is? Just imagine being stopped at a light and something that size, behind you, cannot stop in time. Maybe it has regenerative braking, I do not know, but still...

The R1S is roughly BMW X7 sized, it is certainly not a small vehicle.
