This is what I want to read here. Real world reliability of these things. I like BMW’s but I like them with warranties. A complex BMW (which twin turbo’s is) without a warranty is a problem. 

“get ready to pay more” will be the theme with this thing... any enjoyment of this car will be in short bursts between various maintenance nightmares (both in terms of cost and time)

a ten year old BMW? off warranty? with M badges? AND multiple turbos?

And is most assuredly parked in the left fucking lane.

Reno and Salt Lake both get snow.

And orange paint if you’re going there. This just looks odd. 

Remember if you are a US citizen, Trump is your president.

His speech is so awkward, I wasn’t able to watch more than a few min of the video.

Even before he smokes weed, it is impossible to listen to Elon speak. I have no idea how he convinces people to give him billions of dollars. It is painful to have him explain anything. He has weird pauses and is impossible to follow his train of thought.

“Oil personally changed every 6 months, all serious maintenance done by Italian master mechanic in Stoke. Entire system flushed with Seafoam once a year. Always drank 91+ octane since new. Oh and I’m also selling a Ferrari if you’re interested. — Keith”

Maybe the machines don’t know what chicken tasted like, and so that’s why everything “tastes like chicken”!

It’s $16 an hour.

It’s also basically an irrelevant number. The preliminary agreement calls for 40-45% of content to come from factories where wages are $16 an hour or higher. Currently assembly wages in mexico average $7.34 per hour and parts plants run $3.41 per hour.

That seems like you’d have to give a huge raise to

With what, a stick?

It’s $12K-$20K based on what? The teardowns where they estimate what a functional company would be able to build them for, the current sales of the $55K-$70K spec’d trims, etc.?

No one is interested in a company who has routinely missed manufacture deadlines, has terrible build quality, poor reliability, cars literally fall apart in the rain, has reportedly bad working conditions and is run by someone who calls a hero who risked his life to save children a pedophile? I’m shocked I tell you,

Canada’s national treasures are like the USA’s, but metric and not as good.*

I was going to say....aren’t the cans supposed to be labeled and/or color coded?
