That's the sad part, almost no one is interested in driving, handling, feeling a well balanced car, for the 99% of people cars are appliances, so there's market for big mini 4wds full of gadgets and this "wow what a car" wave. Again, smartphones of 4 wheels


lol

Haha for real, another fallacy? Ad hominem. Maybe this time I’ll give you a chance to get back on topic, I bet you can’t.

I love all of that. The large screen is customizable as well. It's just personal preference. I like "live" nav especially when driving to work and going to other hospitals. I did this in my M5 as well since bad traffic events would be caught occasionally and I would detour. When it saves you it is gold.

Youtube, Netflix, Twitch, Hulu, etc. plus a browser if you want to login to your tv provider and watch live. Cannot use it while moving though

I've never had to charge anywhere but home overnight. It is nice when chilling in the cell phone lot at the airport or waiting in the car with my toddler while either my wife or I run into a store.

He's mistaken, the carbon ceramics are $15k, the full model s track package includes the ceramics and is $20k. For the Model 3 the track package is $5500 and available without brakes so I imagine the plaid will follow with a standalone option soon.

EDIT: Just listened again, he said $14 thousand euro, not 40. And Misha says "That's actually very affordable".

Well, it already has the game controller style steering wheel so might as well play real computer games with it...
