Just a picture to remind everyone that BMW used to make beautiful automobiles.

Well I would dispute that, Polaroid was always a niche product, and there was a reason that everyone else did 35mm o medium format - even Kodak, which was obsessed with doing weird new proprietary film formats and didn’t offer an actual 35mm camera for a number of years never left 35mm. The ultimate photography…

My lease for my i3 ends in Feb, and I’m 100% sure I’m getting a Tesla. The only real competitor might have been the VW ID3, but we are not getting it here, cause we suck. And even if it was here the feature differences might not be worth it for the few $ difference.

Most laughable is the bit about long-term battery health as if Audi gives a fuck about reliability outside of their warranty.

Problem is, no one was buying the last gen NSX either, even as much as people clamor and overpay for used ones today. After 1992, the sales numbers dropped by half and continued to steadily peter out until in 2006 when they sold just 58, and 2 in 2007, which were the remaining lot.

Meanwhile, D’Angelo Russell, who Magic Johnson called “not a leader” when he traded him to make room for Ball, is coming off three straight games with 20+ points and 5+ assists. Schadenfreude really is a great word.

No, Walton knew that last year and that’s why he sat him in the 4th so much. He plays Lonzo because he’s forced to. If he were allowed to coach like any other coach, that 1st round pick (#2 overall at that) wouldn’t matter. He’d play him according to his skill and this dude would be on the bench but Magic would be…

Next time he’s behind the wheel he’d better Czech himself before he wreck himself.

I’ll put this here because I feel like you’ll ungray it, and it needs to be said;

You said they should get leeway because they’re new at this. The size of the fuck up doesn’t really impact whether or not they needlessly ignored an existing solution. They deserve no leeway.

Except the working solution has been known and used for decades. Tesla ignored the accepted design because they thought they were smarter. They’re getting chewed by their own hubris.

Cars have been around for 120 years or so. These things should not be unexpected at this point. Putting a huge, thin, fragile sheet of glass where body parts can impact it easily in a crash? Not being able to open the glovebox without power or the control screen? Easily foreseeable to a real car company.

Haha agreed. That being said, it’s a little unsettling to have some basic safety issues being addressed through Twitter by the CEO following an actual crash. These seem like things that should have been noticed during the engineering process, innovative design or not. Just comes off as hapzard to me, and while I do…
