I’m guessing it only takes a few high-speed trips on the Autobahn to make a serious dent in the range.

For Audi, VIN stands for Vehicles w/ Identical Numbers

Wait. WAIT. Good Omens on Amazon starring DAVID MOTHERFUCKING TENNANT AS CROWLEY? I had no idea this was remotely on the horizon. I am ready.

I always find it funny when dealership employees or any employee for that matter make fun of people who can’t afford a $200k car or other pricy stuff. Dude, you are a sales employee. You can’t afford that shit either, so don’t act all mighty.

That is quite a misleading title. It’s like saying that the base price of a BMW 3-series is $45,000 because the 335i exists.

They ARE self serving pieces of shit. They used their campaign contributions as bribes to cajole to the highest bidders - in this case the Ford, GM, and Chrysler. They have shown what they are, and deserve all of the hate mail that they’re getting. Every one of them should be escorted OUT of their offices in…

Yup, sounds like a piece of shit.

SMART. Those will never need new tires, ever.

I’m surprised it took Uber this long to throw Levandowski under the self-driving bus.

Little known fact: this is how the Forester was born.

It wouldn’t make much difference as long as you don’t use the power. Gas cars get worse fuel economy as they get faster because their engines have to get so much heavier to get more powerful. Electric drivetrains don’t gain as much weight as they increase in power.

This needs a lot more attention. His stated goal in getting into the electric car business is to force the rest of the car business to change. If he makes a successful company himself, then great, he’s happy. If his company gets out-competed because of a huge selection of excellent, affordable electric cars from other…

Just so we’re clear: you think the guy who has pretty consistently said he wants to see a greater variety of electric vehicles on the road - and who has no problem pissing away money on his toy rocket collection - should be worried about BMW thinking about making an EV ? LOLforever.

I hereby challenge ever Jalopnik author to try...just see if it’s even possible....to write a single bloody article about a new Electric Vehicle without resorting to using the phrase “Tesla Fighter”.

Seriously. BMW is not “fighting against Tesla” even in the all electric market. Brand recognition, existing market…

What about a national charging network?

The company that can’t even wire a working turn signal expects to pump out an entire electric car?

That second set of dials inboard of the heated seat controls, semi-hiding behind the shifter? That means that this does have the ventilated seats.

NP, by the way. This is a car I would (following a full service/maintenance update, of course) put my teenage driver daughter in.

Wheres the snowpiercer reference when you need it?

Car and Driver had a wonderful primer on how to rid yourself of toter Winkel. Your wife will thank you.

Hes going to upend the trucking industry with autonomy. I wonder if trucking companies and drivers are watching this closely.
