I have engineer friends like this - they often seem to think that because they studied engineering, they must know more than the guy with the finance degree, even as he’s telling them why their car is broken and what parts they will likely have to replace. I don’t even think it’s a gender thing - I think it’s an

Given my recent purchase - sometimes it’s simply just the inconvenience. We can’t help it, many of the cars we’re attracted to are unreliable (relative to your average Japanese economy car) and not super cheap to fix. My M5 spent weeks at the dealer while they essentially punished me for not wanting to replace the

I forgot how hard they work

This was...really bad. Not even ironically funny.

You guys really have to get over this thing where you have a negative experience with one car and then from that point on declare every vehicle that brand has ever made to be a horrible terrible worthless car. It’s silly and makes you sound silly.

That’s not really true, there was a teething period for sure as electronics started to take over - but it’s already gotten a lot better.

Drive one and then you’ll get it. It’s not for everyone but if you can deal with the cost (or even better, do it yourself) - it’s worth it.

Are you really this dense? Ferrari has an entire model range. You’re comparing it to one single car....are you serious? My god.

Yes, you’re right, Ferrari Porsche & McLaren are definitely not building any sort of hybrids at all. Nailed it.

“Weighing it down” - when will you people learn how to do math? Jesus. If they could have used the hybrid setup under race regs, I promise you they would’ve. The electric system adds much more in power than it adds in weight. Simple. Not hard to understand.

Yes, in your expensive luxury car, fumbling around with your smartphone is far preferable to having a fast, fully integrated big-screen system built right in...that can pull info from you smartphone as well.

...please take your 60 iq comments somewhere else. Dear god.

Agreed. Same here.

You sound very intelligent

Do fuck off

This should be stapled to the top of every comment section.

Can you explain the appeal of not having a sunroof? I mean, really?

Relax, this will be like a 60k car. Jesus. Some of you assume everything that costs more than 5 grand is driven by an evil Russian oligarch, lol.

You guys act like Musk is some moron that just mumbled out “TUNNELS!” one day and is now shocked that he can’t just bore through all of CA. Quite fucking obviously I’m sure he’s got a lot things going on behind the scenes and knows what he’s getting into far more than you or any of us.

This is basically my method as well. In the midwest, you cannot leave this salt residue on the car. YOu can always get it detailed. You cannot detail away rust & corrosion.
