The 3 series has less total passenger volume than a Civic (96 cu. ft vs 98), less trunk volume (13 cu ft. vs 15), less front legroom (42 vs 42.3), less front shoulder room (55.1 vs 57), and less rear legroom (35.1 vs 37.4). It has marginally more headroom, and that’s about it.

It pales compared to the Accord in space.

What money losing company hard up for cash would actually tell its customers “don’t buy now - we’ll be cutting the price in a few years”?

If Tesla bumps up the price on the S and X, they’ll lose sales. The S and X will undoubtedly have higher gross margins than the 3, so such a move could very well end up with Tesla losing considerably more money than they already are.

You’d think, but then if you sit down and do some math....

I’ve also had zero claims ever (not 47 years, but several decades, let’s leave it at that... :) ). I pay about $500 per year per vehicle for full insurance, but only $200 of it actually covers my vehicles. $100 or so goes for additional medical coverage, most…

I’d anticipate there to still be options, with the manufacturers potentially getting into the insurance game by covering accidents caused by their software, but you’ll still need to have insurance to cover accidents caused by your neglect on maintenance, acts of god, vandalism, etc.

And I’d expect more and more for the…

It can make perfect sense. Why did your neighbor down the road make a claim? Hail damage? Tornado? Wind storm? Were the insurance company’s models for claim probability accurate, or are they experiencing higher claims for these events? If the latter, they’re going to boost EVERYONE’s rates, because you’re not…

No, “asshat” - the government requires you to move to the right when it is safe to do so. It isn’t safe with a reckless asshat such as yourself tailgating.

Amen.

The people comparing this to the SUV craze in the 90s/00s simply aren’t paying attention to the fact that the sales numbers have dramatically shifted and mpg figures dramatically increased. People aren’t buying 18 mpg hwy Explorers - they’re buying 34 mpg Escapes/CR-Vs/CX-5s...

Ugly.

There.... that’s all we need call it...

Actually, they can time lights perfectly.

IF the intersections are evenly spaced. That’s the problem - rarely are the intersections spaced at some integral unit of distance (ie, at 1000m or integral multiples thereof). When you combine that inconsistency with the inconsistency of spacing on lights on crossing streets,…

The feeling’s mutual, you reckless fool.

That has to be one of the dumbest fucking responses I’ve seen.

Maybe the anti-mass transit forces who whine about subsidies will stop and think twice when they realize how miserable traffic can be without mass transit.

DUDE.

Do you notice that the number of people agreeing with me outweighs the loudmouth obnoxious jerks like yourself more than 2:1?

I wish I had my dashcam running this morning to show you exactly the bullshit driving I’m talking about. All of this occurred ahead of me: Idiot tailgating in the right lane, which slows…

That’s a lovely theory. But reckless drivers don’t care if you’re signalling.

Where’s the Ford Fiesta?

Reading comprehension fail you?

I’m in the passing lane TO PASS. You are required to move over when it is safe. It isn’t safe with a reckless driver on your tail where they are almost guaranteed to swerve into the right lane before it is safe for you to even move there... thus moving to the right would be extremely…

And why the fuck do you think I’m in the passing lane in the first place?

TO PASS.

When you have a reckless driver on your tail, they have precluded ANY move from being safe, as they’re extremely likely to swerve in and cut off your move to any adjacent lane. Let the asshole pick their path, then move back to the right…
