I take it you didn’t watch the video?

It’s legit. The press release is dated March 4th.

seriously, it’s not even flush into the dash. i’d snap that thing off first time i tried to clean the inside of the windshield for sure.

My beef is that the details are thoughtful, but the shape is more 3 series GT than attractive. It's a car that's less attractive when you squint. Look at an E-type with US bumpers and headlights, squint, and you won't care - that's a good shape. This is very "sexy" in the details but lacking in overall form/figure.…

Don’t care, No manual transmission.

Looks like a much bigger opening.

*thinking for a moment*

One thing from the keynote. Tesla fans are even worse than Apple fans, or maybe they are the same people. Some guy kept on saying “wow” to everything Elon talked about. And right before the unveil, some woman screamed “You are my hero”. Jesusbatteryfuck

Oh look, there’s no image of the new car yet. Read the captions.

Sounds more like different concepts of what “impressive” means.

What makes those tubbed-out racecars more impressive?

Check the Nordschleife times.

When did turboing off-road vehicles become a thing? Last I heard you didn’t want a turbo, slow moving vehicles don’t like excessive heat build up.

I don’t believe you. You have no idea what they’ll do. Are you even watching the hearing? A senator from Michigan just droned on about the massive public infrastructure investments that we need to make smart highways and cities to interact with the cars “as the human input and control in vehicles dissapates.”

Soooo all the expensive and hard to find stuff was free, paint was free, and the technical details to get the driveline (again free) running was provided by someone else (for free).

The guy did a phenomenal job on it, but I’m not sure you saw this line from the forum posts, Tavarish:

100k cars — like 10% of total Mercedes production. They can pretty much expect a hella discount.
