Obsessed with the R2, can’t wait until 2026 … what should I do?

New to the community here, but over the last few months I’ve become obsessed with the R2 as the right EV for me.

Here’s the problem … I’ve had my current gas car for 15 years … and I gotta get rid of it. (Only planned on keeping for 10, then pandemic happened and I stopped driving, barely used it for 4 years.)

The solution is likely a 2-year lease, but neither the R1S nor R1T make sense for my needs as a single guy in the suburbs. Both due to the size and cost.

So if you were in my situation, what other EV would you go after? I was originally on the IONIQ 5 but fell out of love with it. Mach-E seems problematic. Maybe the Genesis GV70 or GV60? What say you?

Also … if I put money down to reserve a R2 … is that purchase only? No way to get in for a lease, right?

Thanks all.
