your issues are with the general public and not Doug or his articles. Everyone pays a different price for new and used cars.

you’re taking this one carmax post out of context with Doug’s many other articles about his Range Rover/CarMax saga.

My prediction is that the new RX350 was designed with the intention to stretch and accommodate a third row. I expect an announcement in 2016.

Shouldn't they have had this when they launched the vehicle? Especially considering what you're paying...

Completely agree. It didn't even reflect any sort of real world damage. They purposely damaged with sledgehammer way beyond the limits of a normal accident on fairly high spots on the vehicle. In a normal accident, I don't even think the taillight would be even contacted most of the time.

exact same thing happened to me as I was unfamiliar with Mercedes layout on an E class. I shifted into Neutral on the highway with that layout. I think the lever was positioned where the wiper is on our other car. Luckily, I got it back intro drive quickly enough without having a heart attack. In certain…

exactly what i was thinking. Sliding doors seem so much more practical and don't compromise so much of the roof. Seems like it would be easier to do a roof rack or panaromic window with sliding doors.

must be some sort of mule as it's too ugly to be a Tesla vehicle.

How much money is left for other cars after you get slammed by the massive depreciation on luxury cars like the Model S?

exactly. As a potential buyer you have to knock off $1k to $2k in price and wonder what other $1k or $2k problems that they're trying to downplay.

resale is the same as any luxury car... terrible. Tesla lowballs trade-in values for used Model S's by $10k to $15k. If you're going to buy it, just keep it and use the heck out of it and not worry about it until you extracted your value out of it.

The GLE coupe is not the replacement for the ML class. Sounds like Patrick got a little confused with the naming conventions. There currently is no ML coupe to replace since it doesn't exist.

if it involves a new battery pack, i could see $20k to $30k upgrade. I think there was an article a few years back where it sounded like Tesla wanted $40k for a new battery.

I think being spread out is part of the problem, but then Tesla doubles down and announces a bunch of things are going to happen with wildly optimistic timetables. Preorders that are years and years early.

You really need your own lobbyists. Become wealthy and start funding a foundation/campaign to loosen the laws to 15 years.

isn't this an Orbital Sciences rocket and not NASA? seems pretty misleading as it would be like calling the Falcon 9 a NASA rocket.

Where do you find a car that does the same as a Tesla? They can charge whatever the market is willing to bear since there isn't any competition. Would you feel better if they raised MSRP even higher to support franchised dealers who just want a cut of your hard earned money?

I think it will improve owner loyalty and get people to trade it into another Tesla down the road. Plus, it will keep up the solid word of mouth and reviews for new car sales. Most car companies have largely abandoned their cars software once the new model year comes along. Tesla just keeps tweaking and improving…

so you're saying it's basically perfect for almost all American drivers...

What does the Viper compete with in the 100k+ price range?
