That makes sense for larger companies, but the added overhead will be tough for smaller brands to absorb. It’ll be interesting to see which manufacturers are big enough to localize distribution and which ones simply raise prices or pull back from certain markets.
Nice write-up! Sounds like you really put it through its paces and didn’t just ride a couple of miles. The range testing and actual delivery timing are super helpful to hear. Makes me feel more confident about considering one for myself.
