I don't understand all the hate toward the LiveWire either, I was lucky enough to ride one off the pre-production bikes in 2014 and i've ridden the production version in '19 and '20. Harley produced it as a 'Halo" product much like the CVO bikes are. The comparison tests between the Zero and the LiveWire all show that the H-D is a far better EV than the Zero, so u get what you pay for. Everyone who's talking sh!t needs to go ride one so you can have an EDUCATED opinion, besides it's a blast to ride and I'll guarantee quicker/faster than ANY / Most of your CVO's. 0-60 in the 3 sec range. Range obviously depends on how you ride it. It has a power level adjustment that goes from 0-100% power, it can be dialed down if you don't want someone to have access to 100% power.
Me, personally, I think H-D screwed themselves on the pricing. If it was sub $25K they wouldn't be languishing in dealerships. I think they should have priced them at a near break even proposition and put them in as many hands as possible, exposing new buyers to the H-D family. $30K is a lot of money. I'm presently scaring up the money for an old air-cooled 911 Carrera, then after that, it's a wrecked project '18 Road King Special. Once i get those, I'm going to seriously look into a LiveWire as a urban commuter bike, I live in an area with many many many places to charge EV's and the 100-145 mile range would be just fine. It's not a touring bike and will never be one, but it's damn fun to ride. GO RIDE ONE, then report back.
