    Not to normal people, but the "ballers" who think driving a caddy gives them class will buy them. Same with the EV Hummer. It got snapped by the same ones that think buying an H1 was a status symbol.

    True.

    But how is that even a viable business model?

    they sell the initial production run to the dealers.

    the dealers sell MAYBE 20% of them. < to the ballers you mention.

    and the rest of them rot on the lot.

    and we wonder why the big 3 suck at ingenuity.


    imagine what 9300lbs does to tires?

    and charging essentially TWO Tesla Plaid battery packs has got to suck.

    They'll be bailed out at the expense of the middle class, just like last time they failed.


    Make sure you put in that OT. They're gonna need more of your money because of the dollar's devaluation. Be sure to do your part.

    38% insurance increase in 3 weeks since update. 4 months prior I had a COMBINED 4 collision alerts.

    in 3 weeks I’ve had 20+. Same route less driving. It’s a joke

    When these collision alerts happen, is there anything or anyone in front of you at all? Or did it just get a lot more sensitive so Tesla can charge you more for insurance?

    Kind of both. I get it for parked cars on tight roads. But most come from not even close to collisions. I have two saved dash cams of the incidents I’m trying to load here but can’t. It’s ridiculously sensitive. I’m starting to see more posts on it too

    I haven't seen it from parked cars but we get a few collision alerts a month.

    For those who don't know.. it's a series of beeps, annoying but not a big deal.

    I see it mostly when someone in front of me is making a turn into a parking lot. I don't slow down because I know they will be out of the road before I reach that driveway entrance.

    Hopefully the sensitivity improves with future updates. Glad I don't have Tesla ins. Sorry man

    similar.

    approaching a car at a stop light always gets us.

    If you have fb or FB messenger I’d send yall my 2 dash cam recordings . It would be funny to tweak the FCW as they have a pending class action right for this very thing

    I do NOT like that.

    monthly changes are way to "big brother" for me.

    I just did a JDPower survey on the MX.

    my first time.

    it was a well thought out survey.

    it touched on all the points I hoped it would.

    it was noticeably weighted on in car amenities.

    I’m hoping this is just a launch edition and there’s a performance with the good seats coming. But this gives me 2021 vibes. People dropping 60-70k then like a year later they are back in the 40s-50s

    To be completely fair it does also have FSD. That's a 10K upcharge anyway, isn't it? They just basically force you to get FSD if you want to be first.

    FSD is $8k. But it looks like you can choose any color and can choose any option for no up charge. Although both wheel sets are ugly af.
