    @hmp10 I’ve written a lot in this thread, but I think points I’ve made may make more sense now: What you saw above with AMG is...

    Either Already discussed, but I think this video gives significant insight.

    Note they say EPA rated range on the website, not estimated. And how many configurations of the Gravity do you think the EPA has tested...

    The clip I’m referring to here, goes to about minute 43 for those that haven’t seen it.

    I’ve actually gone on very few test drives for cars I bought. Often because I was getting a car where that simply wasn’t an option, but...

    Thanks. So these screen shots from your video look like the opposite. So I can’t tell…

    In both one of the shots above and this one I believe I see noticeable positive camber on the rear wheels at max ride height. That...

    Power out of corners would be a very big problem. In the ranges we're talking about more width equals slightly more traction. It...

    Let's ask why "more" isn't simply better? Why not mount 355s all the way around? Because bigger rubber has downsides: it hydroplanes...

    That's my bet for your use case. As I've said I expect the mid size wheels will eventually be revealed to have ~430-435 miles of range...

    I feel confident you'd notice if you ran the test. You'd at least be able to tell that one option "feels better" than the other, though...

    I’d strongly recommend the same. The car was designed with stagger. Going back to the same diameter rims all around would increase rear...
