Listen—I’ve had brutal hemorrhoids. Had to be cut and stitched. Not fun, especially while the stiches healed and they had me on opiates.

It doesn’t claim to be the fastest, it claims to be the quickest.

Tires, the same reason most cars are limited at 155.

Single-speed transmission.

Probably the base model leaf with a 3.3kw charger and a 24kwh battery

Why are you so set on telling somebody else that they don’t know what they want? If you want a BMW, go right ahead and get one. Obviously Sneegor doesn’t want a BMW and wants a Tesla instead.

As it turns out, you’re right about the plug-in getting HOV access. I wasn’t honestly aware of that.

As for the rest… well, I’ll address them point-by-point:

Properly designed, proper car: You’re giving a lot of credit to a brand not exactly brimming with reliability. There are worse, and there are better. I’m calling…

It is a option you don’t have to pay for it and even if you did you don’t have to use it. Also audi has had it share of safety problems too

Was that... engine noise?

Also out of curiosity i built out a 330e on their website. It’s not too much cheaper than my Model S 60 equivalently set up... and I’d still need to budget some gas for the BMW so it’s pretty much a wash...
A model 3 will be a much cheaper car than this

For reference (lease 15000 miles/year,…

I like BMW products, in general, but they’ve lost their fucking minds if they think I’m going to even give a moment’s consideration to canceling my Model 3 deposit for a 3 series.

Model 3 gives me: HOV lane access. Much much much much reduced maintenance. Autopilot. Free charging at work.

A 3 series gives me… a…

So basically BMW just created/paid for the first Model 3 ads. Brilliant!

It’s Jalopnik. They try to talk finances but unfortunately, don’t know finances as well as they know cars. But F for effort.

as an accountant, I will say that for GAAP, it is definitely not income. It is “unearned income” which is a liability on their balance sheet. When they finally sell the model 3 to a customer, that would then be considered income

Cripes you guys just talk out of your butts don’t you. It is recorded as cash not as revenue. Revenue can’t be recognized until the owernship changes hands. Stop lying.

I honestly can’t think of anything worse than for one of the big three to buy the company that got the industry to take electric cars seriously.

Yes, so no one is perfect. We all know that already. Both Amazon and Apple made many mistakes too. While building a car like one would build and market a laptop or smartphone have been advantageous to Tesla, it is still a car with its unique challenges. Example, extremely unlikely that cellphone customers could die…

More of a case of hurry-up and half-baked than "first time"issues. They had a few really bad ideas, especially on the Model-X, that should not have made it out of a concept meeting, but ended up on the vehicle. While other aspects of the vehicles are not well thought out and implemented. It also does not seem like…

These lane marking are very confusing to me.

“Animated light displays to simulate stationary objects to prevent disorientation of drivers underneath.”

It’s probably equipped with a rear-facing camera that automatically uploads footage to a 11foot8-style website.
