unless you are just wanting a bigger car

I don’t think there is any such thing as a P75D. There was a P100D (and a P85D and P90D and P85+ before that), but only a 75D for this model year. That aside, it doesn’t seem like a terrible deal, since the mileage isn’t huge and it looks in good overall condition.

Yea, I get that. I was making the point that, even if it is boring to recommend a new version of the same car, it’s still less boring than recommending a Lexus ES.

When one of the suggestions is a Lexus ES, the bar for boring has been set extremely low already.

I can comfortably say that virtually zero Ferrari buyers are choosing any of the brand’s models because they are hybrids. If Ferrari were to launch some naturally aspirated, fully analogue rival to a 911 S/T, buyers would be selling whatever appendages and organs they don’t need to operate the car just to get one.

That’s what I thought too, but I really don’t know anything about off-roading, so can’t say for sure. As others have noted, even if it is struggling, this is probably the least of its problems as a viable product.

Couple of flaws in that logic: the deposit required was $100, and it was submitted by people who thought the truck would start at $40k. Since it looks like the first ones on the market will be double this price, that will eliminate the vast majority of the potential buyers. Even any subsequent releases are almost…

Most of the fanboys signed up to a $40k truck, but it turns out the initial units will be at least $75k (presumably before FSD and other options that will take it well into the $80s). I think it will be a very small number who want to take a product that appears to be barely out of the prototyping stage at this price.

As much as one should never feed the trolls, I am genuinely curious about the mind of someone who (a) sees the Cybertruck, (b) sees the absolute debacle of its failure to launch and (c) STILL thinks it’s a great product.

Good one.

It sure looks like it’s struggling in the third of the three clips. Regardless, all I think when I watch this is how ridiculous the Cybertruck looks. If Tesla had designed a pretty conventional looking SUV (not the bulbous car pretending to be an SUV that is the Y or X), they could have had it on the market by now and…

Sometimes we get lucky in Canada and a car makes it here even if it doesn’t get to the US (for example, the Audi A3 hatchback). It doesn’t seem likely this time though.

Admittedly I don’t much long-distance driving any more, but I literally never think about charging, since we have a level 2 charger at home (and will be adding a second charger at our new place so we can charge both cars at once). The last longer drive I did was from just West of Toronto to Cleveland, and it really…

I think you’re giving the average consumer far too much credit. Most car buyers probably haven’t even heard anything about the switch to the Tesla plug, or even understand that there are CCS and NACS plugs. It’s simply because EVs are much more expensive than the equivalent ICE, and for most dealers it’s far easier…

Diesel was hugely successful in the UK and mainland Europe, much to the detriment of air quality and the respiratory systems of these populations. It was easy to make it popular, since incentives on fuel duty (and particularly in the UK, preferential taxation of company cars) could be deployed without requiring tons…

For a lot of long-distance driving, a Tesla remains by far the best choice, just because the charging network is pretty much everywhere and pretty much works all the time.

Mine was just the 40i, not the V8. The drive belt failed within a few weeks of me taking delivery, and then it was off the road for more than two months because the dealer first couldn’t get the part, and then second couldn’t get the tool to install the part. After a long fight with BMW Canada, I got my lease payments…

It’s a real shame about the 5-series wagon. The LCI touring that was available for the 2010 model year was pretty good (and still available with a manual transmission and the m-sport body treatment). Then they killed it and all we’ve had since is the hideous GT. I swore off BMW after my absolute dumpster fire of a G05…

I think the issue here is the N63 engine is notoriously fragile, even if all the required maintenance is carried out. So even a babied one may have major issues, let alone one that is being sold by someone with “money issues.” By contrast, I think that generation of E-class wagon you purchased is inherently much more…
