You’re aware how much a good one of these is, right? And how good these are? And how much they cost new? It’s weird how everyone around here thinks cars should just cost whatever they happen to be able to afford at the moment...

Will you people pick a side? You’re either whining about anything that’s new and exciting, or whining about anything that stays restrained. Pick one.

Wow, already whining about a car you haven’t even stood next to yet? Jesus.

You sound rather silly.

You must have trouble with lots of things then, if you can’t keep a few model lines straight.

If you have trouble not spinning your tires everywhere with 300 hp you may need to adjust your driving skills. I’ve driven a tuned 335i and had no problems at all putting the power down.

Uh...yeah, and it’s far more than 12k better. I can’t even believe this is a serious question. Wow.

They’ve had M performance cars since M cars existed. This isn’t a new thing and there’s nothing wrong with it.

It’s of course going to do that...these will all be the edgiest of edge cases that will happen less than .001% of the time.

Get some help man. Crazy isn’t a good look.

They made about a million of the things. Who cares. There’s plenty more where this one came from. It wasn’t even a desirable spec, if I recall it was a 6 cylinder auto.

...what? You expect them to *not* know? Also, pretty sure he was kidding. Obviously. I guess stuff is only funny or ironic if Amy Schumer says it, right?

If you speed up before they actually get into your lane, they will never be able to cut you off. Problem solved.

I mean...honestly...I would have done the same thing. You’ve got another thing coming if you think I’m just going to let you borderline hit me just to cut in front of me while going ~the same speed with no indication whatsoever. That’s insane. I also try avoid driving next to people to avoid this. I would have

I’m assuming it didn’t sell very well, just like the original low-end Model S didn’t really sell all that well either. Most people are buying the high-end trims in both cases, it seems. These tend to be seen as luxury goods, and trim level preferences seem to reflect that.

Autopilot is quite a bit more full-featured than Distronic Plus.

Well, this is gov’t...they automatically consider anything done by private business to be evil, bad, scary & opportunity for more intrusion into your life.

The only people under the impression that it’s “fully autonomous” seems to be primarily the commenters on this website. Most actual owners don’t seem to be confused about this.

Yeah...no. You need to learn how to use logic. They expressly instruct you that you must remain aware, and the system warns you quite strongly when assistance is needed.

Germany is slowly killing itself, and it’s quite sad. Just hope their auto industry doesn’t go down with the ship.
