Just wait until all the sewage treatment plants go offline because of all the baby wipes clogging up the system.

China reacted quickly, unfortunately the rest of the world didnt think to take precautions at the same time, anyone who has traveled anywhere oversees has probably crossed paths with someone carrying the virus. I was in Oregon 2 weeks ago and probably the same.

Well it would come with news that they were putting FSD 2.5 chips in the Chinese cars without telling customers who thought they were getting FSD 3.0 chips.  They were just going to secretly swap them when their supply issues were resolved.  What a sketchy company.

Econ 101, demand goes down, prices go up

So then BMW’s built in South Carolina are not German?

Uh usually aluminum bolts don’t corrode, at least quickly, unless they are in contact with another metal that accelerates the corrosion or breaks down the corrosion resistance that aluminum has.

I’m a SF fan and yet I LOL’d at this.

Not one mention that its a Hot-V engine....

Yet BMW giant grills and other ones get so much flack.  But on a giant soccer mom mobile made by GM its OK......

Tesla stock going crazy is possibly because of the inverse of the shorts.  Lots of people buying put options to sell at this ridiculous price for when it plummets back down to $300.

How is it to expensive? Isnt the average price across all new cars bought like $35k, and yet something that starts at $27k is too expensive?

$9-12k on a $50-60k FCA product is normal, so business as usual

Genesis considers the X7 the BMW competitor not the X5

2026 - 2028 is when I was thinking EV/PHEV’s will be a large part (25-50%) of new car sales.

My issue with 1000's of small cells, while I understand it has some benefits, its not cost effective, easily maintained, adds complexity of constructing these large packs, more points of failure.

As far as annual sales in the US, the sales might level out for the next 1-4 years and then once EV’s begin mass adoption there will be a few record years where sales sky rocket. I’m thinking 2026-2028. Then once about 1/2 of the 265 million vehicles in the US are replaced with EV’s, sales will plummet because people…

Interesting its your favorite.  Had a new Dodge something rental this summer for a week and I hated the system.  This coming from someone who has used every version of BMW’s iDrive.

Some alternative names

Longtime BMW owner, 5 currently including a i3 Rex PHEV. Considering other options for a 7 seater SUV but there is nothing I can lease comparably as a BMW and get around 30mpg like our Diesel X5, the market is forcing me to get an X7 with less gas mileage. Telluride or Palisades could serve as a stop gap until X7 PHEV…
