Not only does is it rear wheel drive only, but it also has about 10% less range than the AWD option. There's a reason it's significantly cheaper.
Presumably because it uses LFP battery cells? If that's the case, then the lower rated range is not as important since those cells tolerate many charge cycles to 100%.
One typically only charges to 80% with other Li battery chemistries so one effectively loses that top 20% of range.
I’d argue you’re not really losing it if you never use it all in the first place. People put too much thought into range when all they’re doing is short trips most of the time.
But is it 10% less than the touted range or 10% less than the actual range
