I’m hoping they choose a black and preferably female chef or celebrity to partner with.

Am I the only one confused as to why they aren’t following the AV trend of fitting it behind a TV on the wall? WTH isn’t this just a slim wall mount design? Where do they think people put their TVs?

Dash cams aren’t public cams and big brother surveillance is already here and already uses license plates. Seems like a non-sequitur.

It’s a fair point. Although if the car was marked with UV paint that cams could see you can mark it on all sides and it makes it much more likely to get ID’d by camera. Dash cams would get even more popular and between that and all the other cameras everywhere I’d bet we catch more and not less. I don’t know the data…

yes but should license plates still exist? Seems like a built in painted or molded in code for each car would be a much smarter and less wasteful system. Weird that cars have to aerodynamic to be compliant but then we attach a mess of 1890 tech to the front and rear. License plates are so shitty that camera readers…

Yeah not only that but those studies also assume the self driving cars wreck just as often with mechanical failure. They do not. A wheel, brake, or tire failure is instantly recognized and there are no “panic” reactions. The most common wreck caused by tire failure is over compensation. New tire systems are starting…

I’m saying they are premium because they are in the market price space of premium cars. The model S starts at $72k and immediately jumps to $92k for the performance model. the Porsche Taycan starts at $103k. I can get a car that meets the specs you wanted for much less. An e-golf and the leaf start at $32k and will be…

I could be wrong but you and I may not be the premium car buying early adopter either of these brands are hunting for. You and I may be more interested when VW joins as player 3 on the commuter vehicles end of things.

Eezi-awn K9 is a great rack too. 

Ferrari sells shoes that match their cars... I think in this case they have a fair point. They don’t want those travesties associated with their own branded materials.

I’m sure their shameful greed is already in stocks...

Since when is there a rav4 plug in?

Yeah Toyota infotainment is so bad. IDK why brands don’t just do CarPlay and Android Auto and leave it alone. No one buys a a Toyota for Entune unless they are a masochist.

This feels pretty meaningless. Some auto sales are up. Some are down. Without looking at profit margins it’s hard to say wether Toyota lost out to some temporary discounts from competitors or what. Even weirder is that the 10 year old 4runner design was a big seller. How does that work? Does a rough riding low mpg…

Maybe but the 4runner sales question that. That design is approaching the decade mark. And it wasn’t a super modern update to begin with. 

Yeah, the four logos saying 3 things all in different type sets and forms is also very disjointed.

It an be done sometimes and to some extent. But the control states are radically different in demographics, urban/rural divide, religiosity, terrain, laws, and even weather just to name a few differences. You might be able to control for all of this over a long period but not in a short 2 or 3 years. You would also…

That was my thoughts. The control states are all extremely rural compared to the comparison states. SLC is a big city but not Seattle or Denver big and has a very different culture and demographic. This would be like comparing weather between different states. There are too many variables. Road congestion, city…

Your reasonableness is unsuitable for the internet.
