More anecdotal data point: got a Polestar 2 for Model 3 money instead. Performance, range, design and infrastructure did not even enter the conversation. At no point will I give Tesla money out of my own volition and that includes their charging network. Not even a "difference of political opinions", the man aligned himself with _Nazis_. Looked at history and decided those were/are his guys.
This is exciting new indeed! I can't stomach the £499.99 purchase price. I feel like for the feature set that's a bit steep.

Nonetheless I wish them all the good luck and hopefully we'll see a full frame variety of this eventually!

As an enthusiastic amateur photographer I'm a big fan of log_2 scales. Photography is full of them, most settings follow it and photographers call them "stops". One stop more is twice the light. People don't even think about logarithmic scales but it's very easy to intuit what going up and down the log_2 scales will result in.

Good scale, I like it.

Don't be afraid of Iso, you might want manual focus, mirrorless cameras even as good as the R5 have a hard time focusing on "nothing at infinity". Largest aperture your lens can do (biggest hole, smallest f number) and the recommended shutter speeds.

I had luck with iso 3200, f1.4 and 1/6s shutter handheld on a sony a7iv with a 35mm f1.4 GM.
