I’d also want a toggle that removes blinks.

If you wanted to know the feeling gorillas get when you unflinchingly stare them directly in the eyes, NVIDIA’s got you covered.

Considering they have no qualms hyping cars they may not build or sell for 5+ years, it feels like we’d know an ACTUALLY new (not just a facelifted 10 year old chassis) Model S, 3, etc. were only 2-3 years away, but it feels like they’re settling in to make those cars as long as possible. The recent downturns in…

A fool and their money.  Don’t pay a markup to try and get MORE markup.  He would have made a profit buying at MSRP and would have more money if he had just walked away when they wouldn’t let it go for MSRP.

They should also just drop those models (because they’re ugly and superfluous). The EQE53 AMG isn’t replacing my E63 wagon...but a future E63 AMG Wagon with 1000+hp of electric motors would, especially if it looked as good or better than the W213 (which would take some doing IMO). They should write the whole EQ side…

I’m saying, as a brand image thing, why not just up the price a percentage or two and avoid the nickel and diming vibe on features that SHOULD be standard now.

The irony being luxury car makers split features that are Standard on Toyotas and Hondas into “technology packages”. Adaptive cruise isn’t standard on even a Taycan GTS, which starts at $136k. Just to give it assistance features that come standard on a Base Rav4, you have to pony up an additional $3600...why?!? You’d…

It feels brand and model specific at this point. Local Honda dealer is asking (and getting) $5k over for the new Pilot...but they’re still also giving decent trade-in values. I’m used to getting low balled at my Land Rover dealer on trade-ins (pre-covid) but I looked at what used 2020 Defenders were going for private…

Same with the Hummer EV. They’ve built 5000 and only sold ~800 in the past year. They build twice as many in November alone than they’ve sold in a year. Some undisclosed issue going on they’re trying to diagnose in the field and it’s not the leaky battery pack that caused the stop-sale. The real question for those of…

Given their apparent lack of interest in continuing to make anything but their current cars forever, their best bet for longevity would be to get into supplying batteries for other automakers.

A lot of new cosplaying RSQ8 enjoyers. If you’ve got the scratch to pay 100% more for 10% more HP, have at it I guess. Urus owners probably aren’t making that value calculation.

Do I get a prize for calling this in the comments right after it happened at the end of Nov?

Tuners will just get into jailbreaking. Buy a base Dodge EV and have your local tuner turn on all the options and power the hardware permits.

Got a letter in early 2022 saying a replacement airbag for my 2003 M5 were in. First time it had been to an actual BMW dealer for service in well over a decade. Maybe the 2012 SLS I sold a couple years back will have a replacement come available in 2031.  Some hilarious lag time on these replacements.

High on life surprised me after everyone got so down on it after E3. I genuinely enjoyed it. And it’s readily apparent the people that worked on it cared.  

THIS! People are mistaking hubris for competency.

Also, they removed radar and refuse to implement lidar because they’re “unnecessary”...not because they’re expensive, supply limited, or anything like that. Guess what systems don’t get completely rendered useless by white out conditions, downpours, fog, etc. My “dumb” adaptive cruise using radar can see in conditions…

So this use of AI art is cool with Kotaku? I thought it was all bad. Someone’s art was used to train this filter so I’m trying to figure out where the line is. Getting whiplash going from the “AI Art is the most objectively evil and insidious issue in the world” articles to “look at this cool application of AI art”.

Luke with another AI art post, must be a day that ends in “y”. The horse is dead, man. I get what you’re saying but it’s a fight against the tide. People that don’t appreciate the hard work of artists aren’t going to see the light.

I guess I’m talking about which is worse subjectively from a customer perspective. Whether you want a Hummer EV or (if they launch on time) a Chrysler Airflow, you’re looking at 2025 or later as a delivery date. With the Hummer you’ve got the option to either wait and watch everyone else (apparently) have a great time…
