Yeah so it is a bit slower, as was generally reported.

Just to clarify, those numbers are for a 2017, not a 2013, right?

[Blaine 24]

yes.  see the dash in the video.

Edited to clarify.

 

Yes, 2013 ED cabrio vs 2017 ED coupe.

The 2013 ED coupe was even faster than the 2013 cabrio.

 

 

What were they thinking?

Slower and less range?

 

They're making it so hard to trade my 2013 in ...

However, the Ontario rebate of $13K is beyond compelling, 

The new cabrio should be about the same price as I paid for my 2013 ED coupe.

 

 

At least the L2 charging is 2x faster, and the chassis and interior seem nicely done.
