With EVs, you need something that is fully aware of the car’s current state of charge, the drain along the path, and the charging stations along the way.

We have a BMW that supports both Android Auto and CarPlay in addition to its own internal infotainment system. And a Tesla that does not support either Android Auto or CarPlay.

You’re being too kind, that BMW is horrendous. 

You don’t test your shit in the public right-of-way with people who have not consented to be part of that testing.

To corporations, much like the Karens and Chads of Middle America, any mild inconvenience is a horrific crime.

split lights are ugly, BMW and Hyundai are doing a great job of proving that.

You’re not sticking this on someone’s car. You’re sticking this on The Man’s car. This petty, passive-aggressive and totally effective creative protest is so San Francisco I can hardly stand it.

I dig this. The machine ain’t going to rage against itself, ya know.

That’s a good point... makes you wonder what deal the City made with them that keeps them from fetching more revenue by doing just that.

It’s also that it wasn’t built on a dedicated EV platform, but instead on a modified Q5 platform. I think this really compromises the battery packaging. A friend has one of the earlier model years, and it is actually an incredibly quiet and comfortable car, but the real world range is abysmal. He’ll often struggle to

This article is actually just a list of low volume and newly launched vehicles. I analyze the industry for a living. The luxury segments are actually holding up better than the non-lux segments right now. Guess who doesn’t get squeezed by high interest rates: wealthy people. 

Fancy and/or inefficient cars are selling poorly when most people can’t afford luxuries? Say it ain’t so.

I used to drive my BMW 850 to the grocery store and to Costco. It loved the cheap gas. I would absolutely drive this to the same. 

Eh, we probably deserve it.

I was confused why they posted this after recently posting cars that have the biggest availability and decided by about the 2nd slide it has to be some exec demanding a slide show and this it was got shit out. I would define worst selling cars as those spending the most time on dealer lots, not a bunch of 6 figure

No, Waymo, this is not vandalism. There’s no damage being done. It’s making a point that driverless cars aren’t as smart as you think they are, and they’re doing their part to keep these cars off the road (at least temporarily) where they shouldn’t have been in the first place.

Pretty sure the Grand Highlander has been available for 3 weeks? There might have been some sold “sight-unseen”?

Are we sure this isn’t happening in Glascow?

Well, the problem here is that the car is self driving, so it’s not ‘someone’s car’, there’s no one in it. The car belongs to a corporation that sends its robot cars out without a driver and many times those robot cars are getting stuck and causing accidents. Now the corporation wants to put MORE of those cars on the

A machine that can cease functionality because someone took three seconds to put a traffic cone on it and then can only be restarted by having a third party physically come out to remove the cone seems like a machine that doesn’t need to be on the road to begin with.
