Nah. Don’t agree with that. As of now nobody offers a comperable car to the Model S. The closest comes from BMW but theirs don’t have even a fraction of the range and are probitively expensive ( more so than the Model S). The biggest threat is from GM and the Bolt when it comes out and if it does so before the model 3…

Whatever the situation Tesla needs to get the cars out. Now. Its clear BMW and VW AG are now fully on board with luxury EVs and if Tesla dawdles around for too long their current dominence in this area will quickly evaporate.

Why have liberal/conservative commentary on stuff like this anyway?

I wondered how far I’d get into comments before someone made some lame “Liberals” comment.

It is pretty cool to see no doubt. Nobody assumes passenger jets can fly like that. So that's wow factor alone

Whats the sales pivot here flying a passenger plane like a crop duster? Its not like anyone on a flight from Dallas to ATL can expect lots of barrel rolls on the way over ( even though that could be entertaining)

I own a 20 year old Tacoma. Its nice to have a bit more get up and go. The old Toyota trucks were really slow. No- you don’t need to go fast. But there’s never anything wrong with more power.

I love the 80’s Toyota trucks as that’s what I grew up with. But the one we owned was as SLOW as mollases. Not that it needed to be because OTOH we went off roading in it all the time and it would go anywhere.

Actually the screen grab you took really drives home how generic and bland this design looks. Sure. Its a BMW no doubt and we all know how infamous they are for their “understated” designs. But to me this looks tired. Its hardly a leap from the same overall design used in their lineup for the past 5-6 years.

I’m not a British car fan but to me this is sort of sacriligious.

This seriously looks like a nightmare. Sure- it sounds nice that most of the parts are there but even so the new owner is looking at an astronomical amount of work to get this thing back together. Amazing that as it sits its at over 18k with reserve not met.

Make sure and have your friend spread the word on how awful Hawaii is. The less people that go the better for me!

Actually I didn’t mean to respond to you. It was for the actual article and hence I pushed the wrong “respond” button...

If I’m going to take a week off to do something its not going to be spent with 70,000 people out in the desert, but that’s just me mainly because I don’t like crowds or hordes of people. I’ve lived in the Bay Area for over 20 years and over time have gone to innumerable festivals, fairs, artistic stuff, speam punk…

My answer to this will be the same as all other VW posts: the cars are junk and no way I’d even lease one of these things. Lastly- the “New” beetle is looking pretty long in the tooth these days even with the occasional refreshes...

The supply of hipsters is at an all-time high which directly corrolates with the high level of sales.

Elfellllllllllfffffff

I can’t tell any of these apart. Its like every week : “ Its the new Mclaren/Ferrari/Whatever P35-HHi with dual rear clutch with EFI!!!... its the BEST ever! It looks the same as the last one... but its new! yay!!!”

I’ve probably heard approximatly 30-40 hours in total of people talking about how “wonderful” this thing is. Also- I live in the Bay Area and so I am totally well-aware of the nature of BM since half of the damned bay area empties out to go to it. I’ve had a most total immersion in all things hipstery, crunchy and…

Now you are basically just comparing what your values are against someone else’s. Like I said- I don’t care if people want to go to burning man or spend a weekend at the annual farting festival. Its the obnoxious non-stop chatter about BM that bugs me. But so be it.
