See my post above - my work situation changed. I have driven 10k miles a year so far - but with my new job after half a year I am already at 30k miles. Also, so far I was driving on lower traffic and lower speed streets. I did not have a single accident so far, but believe me, once you drive a lot on the Autobahn in…

Hm, couldn´t find my answer...I posted it yesterday.

Actually, yes and no. My brother in law is pilot (commercial, flying Airbus A340) and I have been in the cockpit with him. That plane flys itself alone - actually the only reason a pilot is still needed is for the hairy stuff, control and take off. But the plane itself can automatically fly and land.

0. But my milage prior to my new job was around 8-10k a year. With my new job its close to 80k a year - that makes a huge difference. I also drive routes that have a huge traffic load so that´s another factor.

Your comment deserves 1000 stars.

It depends. I recently switched to a Volvo XC90 (coming from a Model S) with drive assist like ACC, Lane Keeping etc. It does help a LOT. It managed to keep me safe from crashes many times by now because other drives are reckless like hell (changing lanes without looking, abruptly stopping for no reason etc.), yet I…

The issue I have with the way buyer satisfaction is metered on Tesla cars is that they overvalue the simplistic drivetrain while ignoring all the other stuff. Its about value of a 100k+ car. I assume that most people driving Teslas are in my income bracket but many of these are younger. And as I stated before, they…

I drive a 2015 Model S myself - was driving a BMW 530d before and I know a lot of Tesla drivers. Your link concerning customer satisfaction is pointless because they only ask people owning that certain car brand, how happy they are.

It does. Bad build quality will hamper usability. Bad sealing for instance can let water in, seats will wear out faster, dashboards will make noise etc.

Did you try?

Right.

KiTTY would be better than PuTTY

False - collision with objects is a valid thing to do. I had a crash myself where I was able to choose between colliding with a car and colliding with a tree - I took the tree.

I expected to see some hot women....

Yeh, that is not cocaine for sure.

wisely, not sadly.

I am not gonna judge your Nickname but I would assume you to drive in a bathtub if it were electric.

Computers are tools, not more. It is completely unlogical to argue that just because a higher productivity is based on a new tool, employees should not benefit from that.

Weird enough, from all the cars I´ve had the BMW ones are actually the best. VW and Audi is worst...the ones on my Touareg were completely useless.

One of the reasons (apart from the overall terrible material choice inside, the lack of decent manufacturing outside) I returned my Model S and took a BMW 540 was the crapstatic touchscreen experience. If you ever driven a decent car with a controls like the BMW with something like the iDrive you will never ever…
