Like you bought it just for the badge hold your horses, buddy

[open sigil]

car will never see the track in its whole life

[frosty snow]

At least the car’s in SoCal are driven a lot more

[open sigil]

only on the street 😂

[frosty snow]

Like up and down the freeway 812 comps

Yep, all on the street just to flex but at least it’s being driven

The car collectors in Ontario right now. Bring it out to cars and coffee. That’s it. They don’t even go for a weekend cruises with it.

[open sigil]

but we have a couple of tracks nearby like laguna seca and willow springs

[frosty snow]

We have a Porsche experience centre opening as well as Canadian tire motorsports park and two other small tracks

And CTMP is F1/GP regulated track

[fathom brook]

I still havent been to the porsche experience but i need to

[open sigil]

i wanna drive a miata on track

or something sporty

[frosty snow]

Honestly, those exotic rentals on a track is actually worth it just to get a feel

I know they have it out in Vegas too

[open sigil]

i’d be too scared to crash it

[frosty snow]

I’d recommend renting those at least once in your life

[open sigil]

i feel like i wouldn’t enjoy those fully unless i learned how to push a low hp car to its limits

[fathom brook]

You arent gonna push a miata to its limits on a track. Only the mountains

[frosty snow]

You can push a low horsepower car anything under 250 to its limits on the street already

You’re hitting it at the 80 90 mph mark

[fathom brook]

Yeah those cars in high G are going to lose control

[frosty snow]

Ffs, too cold and unpredictable to swap to summer

Lots of spin outs yesterday on the highway

[frosty snow]

A lot of those are straight line cars

[fathom brook]

Is that in C or F

Next 3 days are over 80 in atlanta

[open sigil]

it would be fun though

i gotta learn manual too

They should have went the lotus discount route and built a under 100k car

I like the GT car they make but it needs to be lower price

[frosty snow]

With luxury tax and dealer options here it’s an extra 80k… so messed up, msrp 220-250CAD then up to 300 after all in taxes and pdi etc

@wise mirage u have any coolant loss on your b58?

i keep an extra quart of 0w-20 in the trunk think i need to keep some diluted coolant in there too 💀

[frosty snow]

Yea I saw that too

Funny given the in going protests

[wise mirage]

No? I actually haven’t. This gen 1 B58 is stout as hell. I’ve had no problems for 20K miles of ownership. Just regular oil changes.

I don’t use 0W-20 though fuck that

It’s like apple juice

[open sigil]

maybe that’s why my car burns it

[wise mirage]

No there has to be a underlying problem ur car should not burn 0W-20

It’s fine to use 0W-20 I just don’t as a personal choice @open sigil

[open sigil]

forums say it’s common for gen 2 and switching to thicker oil helps

[fathom brook]

I told him to put 0w40 or 5w40

[open sigil]

i just go to the dealer

[frosty snow]

How hard do u drive ?

[open sigil]

you guys wont believe me but i drive pretty normally

But the dual clutch in the car is shit

[hollow radish]

I keep looking at those, would you buy one?

[fathom brook]

Not unless you got an alfa shop near you for repairs. He got a check engine light 1 day after buying it but it was just a failing battery

He's selling it soon and his R8 he wants a gt3

@open sigil like somehow I was sure if was gonna be a 116i

[open sigil]

i didnt even know you could get lower than 20i

[dim goblet]

Yeah 16i is the lowest

Actually there is a 114i with 102 PS

This is the F30 3 series

THIS THING IS SO COOL

i like this future

[fathom brook]

The i3 engine is from mini cooper and its in the i8

My friend loves it in his mini cooper and always says "got the same engine as an i8"

Dang i looked at some of the engines on wikipedia and they would get run over in the US

Worst rental ive had was a nissan sentra i was so scared merging on the highway it was so slow

[dim goblet]

I drive my 80hp polo without too many issues, going on highways is a bit annoying but there is way enough length on the merge-in lane

[jaunty sequoia]

Back when my partner was 75hp, it was ok on flat ground and somewhat good to get up to speed on highway

But it's much better now with 112hp lol

[dim goblet]

Yeah and most of the ramps are going down here, so it’s even easier
My only trouble is a left merging highway I take almost every day, it’s really dangerous

[jaunty sequoia]

Left merging highway sound like it should be illegal

[dim goblet]

Yeah idfk what went through their heads, once I had a scared driver in front, slowed down to like 70-80kph for some reason, I was thankful I was driving electric that day

Well yeah

But thinking you’re amazing or fast or threatening with that

If I were to follow Italy's new drivers law i'd have to drive a 75hp car max😂 😂

But there's a loophole around that so I can drive anything

As my first car I got a 100HP VW Polo turbo... But I regularly drive my parent's cars which have way more

That law is so stupid

[open sigil]

meanwhile in america rich kids are getting 5-600hp monsters as their first car 🤣

and then crashing them

i know a 17 year old kid who got a brand new m4 competition for his FIRST car

[radiant lion]

Some kids crashed some time ago a Lambo Urus and killed a 5 year old... So everyone's gotta pay for their poor decisions and for three years you can only drive shitboxes😂

Meanwhile if you get a trailer license (which is what I did) right after your car license you could even drive a spaceship if you wanted😂 😂 😂

[open sigil]

that’s a good idea to limit the power to new drivers

we need that in the us

[radiant lion]

Yeah but 75hp? Really Italy?

Now it's set at 140 but only applies to new drivers that got a license from January 1st

learned my rotors are made by brembo

[jaunty sequoia]

I can imagine a 110hp car can feel faster than this

Toyota has a special ability to make a "high" horsepower car feel slow af

Also, probably a lot of loss in the CVT

[neat isle]

Probably

Corolla is NOT fast

But I mean

It’s fun enough

I get to floor it and hear the VRRRRMs for 7 seconds while getting on the highway

Yall only get 3

Also IT corners SO WELL

I love roundabouts with it lol

[jaunty sequoia]

My dad's Lexus 300h has just under 200hp, but somehow still feels slow af

I guess they're geared like shit

Oh ok

Why you got a Tesla

We don’t like teslafolks

[fathom brook]

Cause my woman cant drive and the car drives for her. The FSD is really good and im saving a lot of $$$ on gas from the mercedes, lexus and corvette

And the car lease was very low with the discounts

[dim goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/breaking-bad-gif-12280691131005323983

[jaunty sequoia]

nah, he right

we don't like teslafolk

EVs in general are aight, but tesla fell off hard, even before the musk did the thing

[fathom brook]

I didnt care for EVs till i had one and realized its way better than a gas car at the same price. There is no new car at 36k thats as nice driving, mileage or features as the tesla Y AWD

[dim goblet]

I don’t agree, they shocked the industry wether you like it or not

Forced the big automakers to catch up with electric, pushed the industry for better and bigger screens, less buttons. Good or bad is subjective, but they definitely did something

[open sigil]

my car

[fathom brook]

Im talking new SUVs

Same category or price segment of the tesla Y

[open sigil]

oh new

[jaunty sequoia]

i agree, but say, after 2020, what have they really innovated on?

they stagnated

[open sigil]

if they made the digital cluster from the model S and X standard on the 3 and Y id like them a lot more

[fathom brook]

Theres an aftermarket mod for it but we wont be doing it on a leased car

Theres also a 2000$ performance boost upgrade but not buying it either for a lease

[dim goblet]

Yeah they really did, I still think they’re the best EV option for the price and this category, especially the refresh, interior really feels premium, comparable to Mercedes and BMW

Closest competitor would be the BYD seal which is the same price as a base M3, but it has worse base specs and I still don’t fully trust them

[dim goblet]

1.9TDI dog

[frosty snow]

So much wasted space inside

[frosty snow]

My mom‘s EQB loses around 200 km of range in the winter due to the cold and having to heat up the car every time you start it

Definitely good for city, cars, and warm climate

Otherwise, you’re spending 30 to 40 minutes a few times a week charging

[frosty snow]

They’ve been around since 2007

They just have the roadster first before the consumer cars in like 2010-11

[fathom brook]

Theres only been a few revolutionary cars the last few decades but two of them have definitely been the Tesla S and tesla 3

Only other ones i can think of is the prius (first gen) and the c8 corvette

[frosty snow]

C8 vette ripped off the tributo

BMW i3 🤣 didn’t do so hot but was an ev nonetheless

[fathom brook]

But the c8 was developed way before the ferrari and the price point

[frosty snow]

Toyota sienna good too

[frosty snow]

Chevy made no secret of deconstructing a Ferrari 458 in the design process. All the way down to the stand alone flat plane motor in the C8 Z06

As it turns out, General Motors has admitted that the eighth-generation Corvette—from 2020—would not have taken its current form without the lessons learned from their dissection of a Ferrari 458 engine, quietly sourced from a wreck in Poland.

So the current gen C8 as we know it, ik C7 was its own

Looked like the c6 etc

But V8 with only 400 smthn horse for the entry c8 is kinda a L

Too much weight , so it’s a sound car

[fathom brook]

I dont think a car thats rated the top sports car in its category for the last 5 years is a slow overweight car 😂

[open sigil]

you versus the guy she tells you not to worry about

[simple bear]

That blacked out beemer is sick

[open sigil]

it’s a m5 competition

so nice

[warm cosmos]

Saw this on Facebook

[jaunty sequoia]

Y'all don't have a home charger?

It's much cheaper and more convenient to just plug the car in when you get home, and then have a full charge in the morning

And depending on the model, you can use the charger to preheat the car and not lose range

[jaunty sequoia]

You can't compare Tesla with Mercedes and BMW when it comes to interior quality. Getting leather seats is easy nowadays, but having proper fitment and not have is creak is something Tesla has been struggling with for as long as they've been around

https://youtube.com/shorts/vzYggZSq-zY?si=gORp8qdTib2sybH6

[dim goblet]

It’s only made for the NA market so not really

[dim goblet]

Oh yes I can, I’m telling you the new refreshed models just feel nice, my mom literally has a Mercedes and it creeks more than the Tesla

I’ll do a video for you if you want

[dim goblet]

It really depends on whether it has PTC or heat pump heating
I’d say range is more of a Mercedes skill issue, I’m not sure how merc does regenerative breaking but it also helps a ton for range, especially in city driving. Imo 70kwh of battery for a 2.6t car is just not enough

[hollow radish]

what's the 0-60 on the entry level c8?

[fathom brook]

2.8 0-60 but its slow and overweight apparently for a 60k car

[frosty snow]

Yep

The S3 beats c8 off the line

Just loud and rwd

[cloud dome]

Had my greatest Forza Horizon 4 moments in one of those

[hollow radish]

which s3?

calling a factory 2.8sec 0-60 "slow" is diabolical

[frosty snow]

Current gen

[frosty snow]

I think top end is slow because of the weight and HP

cars in its class is over 500 horses

[open sigil]

how does an s3 beat 2.8 if a rs3 does 3.3

[frosty snow]

New Gen RS3 is faster I assume

[hollow radish]

lol he must be trolling

[frosty snow]

Stock C8 isn’t 2.8 either

Cause I’ve driven a stingray non z06

Sluggish it’s more like 4. Smthn 0-100 km

[hollow radish]

lol no

and an s3 is slower in all categories

where are you getting all this lol?

[frosty snow]

The Audi one just off of watching drags here

So driver issue

[hollow radish]

maybe an IROZ\

[open sigil]

s3 - 4.4
rs3 - 3.3

C8 - 2.8

math aint mathing

maybe a rs3 could beat a base c8 off the line since its awd

but a c8 would smoke a s3

[fathom brook]

https://www.caranddriver.com/chevrolet/corvette

i dont get it either. after 5 years its still ranked the top sports car under 100k

0–60-MPH Times
In our testing, we recorded a 60-mph time of 2.8 seconds, and a quarter-mile pass of 11.2 seconds at 122 mph in a car equipped with the Z51 performance package and the optional FE4 magnetorheological dampers. It stopped from 70 mph in 149 feet and cornered at a stout 1.03 g on the skidpad.

[open sigil]

told chatgpt to put those wheels on my car

didn’t really work that well

[frosty snow]

A loaded one, at top end, perhaps just 0-60 Rs/s3 still lighter

[open sigil]

in the top end wouldnt the corvette pull ahead?

turbo vs na

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wwm6CBv7jcM

in this video rs3 loses digs but the rolls the mustang will pull away

turbos lose their steam in the top end

if a mustang gt can pull away from a rs3 in a roll a corvette will be long gone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD2gczsPZDU

even here a corvette can hook really well on a launch

an rs3 will win the first couple hundred feet 😂

and that vid is a tuned rs3 vs a stock base c8

stage 1 but still more than factory

even the dig was neck and neck, awd vs rwd

[frosty snow]

Correct

Top end, so just city driving you would have harder time to reach

[open sigil]

the c8 and rs3 also weight basically the same

so digs are very even given the power/drivetrain differences

[hollow radish]

c8 is faster off the line, 1/4 mile and top end vs a stock s3 or rs3

[open sigil]

if a mustang can pull on a rs3 in a roll race i’d bet a c8 will too

ngl i was pretty ignorant i thought most american rwd v8s would launch terribly

c8 has a crazy launch

guess mid engine does wonders

[hollow radish]

a tune can go a long way on an RS3 though

[open sigil]

yeah that engine is super capable

[fathom brook]

He has to be trolling its ok guys

[open sigil]

crazy how small they are

or i’m just used to bigger sedans

[fathom brook]

The corvette has a lot of space in the front and rear for storage its a long car

[open sigil]

my altima was barely shorter than my bmw

so does all this mean if you put a bunch of bricks in the back of a hellcat it’ll hook

[fathom brook]

Or a big girl

But that will lower your 0-60 time

do you use yours in the GTA?

Wondering how sticky they are - ive only ever used it out here then disconnected as i enter Manitoba

[frosty snow]

Highway only, city too risky

If I’m at stoplight and cop beside then it’s an L, not enough distance in between

[iron hornet]

I'm driving to Toronto on the 18th

[frosty snow]

If u have highway segment it’s good, bumper to bumper traffic it’s not worth the risk

[iron hornet]

yeah

i probably wont bother in Toronto anyways, not like ill be driving a fast or fun vehicle down anyways

[frosty snow]

That and there’s way to go “20+” over in bumper to bumper

[iron hornet]

yeah

[frosty snow]

Yea it’s just peace of mind on highway

Going those speeds can save 10+ mins on total commute

[iron hornet]

im driving 3200km

[frosty snow]

Long haul wow!

[iron hornet]

so was debating using it throughout manitoba and the north

[iron hornet]

so its time

usually i would go through the US but i think with the political mess right now ill just stay safe and take the northern route

the pressure is fine i reset it and the warning went away

i’m going under for the summer because the recommended makes the ride way stiffer

being 1 psi under will not cause any warning lights

@jaunty sequoia goated spot

[jaunty sequoia]

Eh

[dim goblet]

I believe in Phaeton supremacy

[jaunty sequoia]

It's just a 3tdi

[dim goblet]

Yeah but it’s the first one I’ve seen in the wild

[jaunty sequoia]

Same engine as the Amarok and tuareg

[dim goblet]

It’s not the engine it’s the engineering of the car

[jaunty sequoia]

My neighbour had a facelift phaeton

With the w12 iirc

[dim goblet]

Goated neighbor

You know it has a separate battery for all the infotainment

[open sigil]

what’s that fancy looking one in the states

[dim goblet]

It can do some crazy stuff

[open sigil]

is it the arteon

[jaunty sequoia]

Passat?

[dim goblet]

Phaeton started at 100k

[open sigil]

nah it’s the arteon because i always think it’s a 5 series from far away because of the drls

i don’t think we have the phaeton here

[jaunty sequoia]

Probs not

It was mainly made with diesel engines

[open sigil]

oh we hate those

[jaunty sequoia]

TDI V6, and W12

[open sigil]

the arteon looks really nice especially the interior and they’re relatively cheap used

[jaunty sequoia]

Nvm, the w12 is petrol

But it did have a TDI v10

[dim goblet]

Yeah 5.0

[open sigil]

america only had like 2 mass produced v10s

[jaunty sequoia]

Lfa and r8?

[open sigil]

i should say american brands

[jaunty sequoia]

Oh nvm, viper and some Corvette?

[open sigil]

ford had the v10 in their trucks and dodge in the viper and some other one off cars

[jaunty sequoia]

V10 in a truck

What a fucking waste

[open sigil]

dodge ram srt-10 was a viper truck basically

rwd v10 truck and stick shift

[dim goblet]

You mean manual transmission

[jaunty sequoia]

I don't mind it when Dodge does it, because they had the v10 viper

[open sigil]

no i mean stick shift

[dim goblet]

Nobody calls it that outside of NA

[open sigil]

good thing i’m inside NA then

i wouldn’t be surprised if dodge comes out with a hellcat pacifica

that would be kinda cool

[jaunty sequoia]

My prediction is that Chrysler is gonna get shut down

[open sigil]

probably

isn’t the pacifica their only model

[jaunty sequoia]

Same with Jeep

Yup

And only sold in na

[open sigil]

and alfa romeo

[jaunty sequoia]

Maybe there are some china specific models

[open sigil]

they don’t sell and their cars are shit because they’re basically chryslers

the giulia and stelvio quadrifoglios are cool but don’t seem that good compared to the german counterparts

[dim goblet]

And those tariffs isn’t helping at all either

[open sigil]

i think jeep will live on because of teenage white girls

freeway closure the other night

big semi truck crash ahead freeway shut down for hours

luckily i was in the far right lane and near the entrance when i came to a stop so i could get off

but i was stuck there for like 40 min

rip to the other people up ahead and in the other lanes

[potent ridge]

is that legal

[fathom brook]

Hell no i wouldnt even post this online 😂

If you crashed into someone going backwards in the lane you wont be driving for years

i was not boutta be stuck there for hours 🤷🏽‍♂️

[frosty snow]

I’ve done tht before

[frosty snow]

Been. There done tht

[frosty snow]

Exactly

Funny thing, all the other cars tht night got instructed to do so by police

Just more organized when cops told us to u turn

[potent ridge]

doesn't look too legal

[proud tulip]

theres this funny little thing called GPS and watching for closures and such to avoid situtations like that

just sayin

but also yes that is 100% illegal to do

unless a cop says otherwise

if a cop tells you to do so its fine. but i dont see any kind of cops in that video

also you drove AGAINST traffic

[potent ridge]

maybe Sadat is the cop

[proud tulip]

which is 10x more dangerous than anything else

[simple bear]

Could've caused an accident

[proud tulip]

oh absolutely

just because you see 1 person do it

doesnt mean you should follow suit

[potent ridge]

not to mention it was night time

[proud tulip]

exactly

[simple bear]

But what do I know, I don't have a license /s

[open sigil]

🤣 gps won’t update you if it happens 1 minute ahead of time

[potent ridge]

I'm not much better

[potent ridge]

why are you driving at night all the time anyway? /j

[open sigil]

i was coming back from san diego to la

the other side turning out is leaving the freeway before the accident, everyone going down has their emergency lights on

[potent ridge]

that makes it legal

[open sigil]

[potent ridge]

[open sigil]

im gonna turn myself in after class

[simple bear]

You did show your car's VIN number before lol

Can also do a lot with one

i’m not gonna act like i don’t do illegal stuff

[jaunty sequoia]

VIN number doesn't tell you shit

it's all vehicle technical info

license plate is tied to the owner, VIN is literally just info about your car's production time, engine, spec etc

[fathom brook]

I knew this was gonna turn to a doxx session too we got the vin, license, video, college

@gentle osprey where you live has there been this dirty rain that leaves green spots on the cars? I washed the cars and then a few days later it rained and now there is green spots on the car and I saw today in the morning it rained again this dirty water

No, we had yellow dust so basically Saharan sand again. Seems to have gone but it is currently raining so no idea what colour I'll end up with

tesla drivers gotta be a different breed

i’m in the far right lane this guy goes halfway into my lane and then backs out

then zips out right in front of me so he won’t miss his exit

and gives me a peace sign ✌🏽 when i honk at him

[dim goblet]

Man unpredictable behavior is so annoying, even for truckers, like you enter the highway, you never know if the semi-truck besides you is just gonna push merge without looking and push you off

I gotta get 2-3 clips off my dashcam it’s outrageous

[open sigil]

the semi trucks here are pretty nice, it’s the regular pick ups that are unpredictable

lane next to me is merging and this truck just stays right next to me 😂 like bro either speed up or get behind me don’t match my speed

and then bro flips me off after i floor it so he doesn’t go into the side of me

[fathom brook]

You know a lot of former tesla users are toyota and bmw owners. He probably used to have a 540i

most i’ve seen come from toyotas and subarus

tesla is the modern day nissan micra

[dim goblet]

me when french car

[jaunty sequoia]

istg, toyota yaris gotta be tied with teslas as the worst drivers

but on the other end of the spectrum

while teslas are aggressive and bold, yaris drivers are slow and unresponsive

a tesla will cut you off to save 5 seconds off their route, while a yaris will drive 20 below the limit and only speed up when you try to pass

[dim goblet]

i'd say that perfectly describes bmw drivers, and a bit of merc perhaps

[jaunty sequoia]

the problems with teslas compared to merc and bmw, is that people who buy merc and bmw somewhat care about driving

[dim goblet]

-15 below on left lane
-has the ability to go middle lane
-goes middle lane and speeds up to 5 over
-????

[jaunty sequoia]

it takes a different breed to actively go out and buy a car that has terrible reputation for quality

[dim goblet]

not really since they're mostly company cars here, sooooo many 50k-60k€+ company cars here

[potent ridge]

I keep seeing newer versions of teslas here

they're uglier lol

[jaunty sequoia]

i see the updated model 3 constantly, but never the model Y

[potent ridge]

yeah exaclty lol

[jaunty sequoia]

i've seen the Y maybe twice

[potent ridge]

saw some weirdo with sunglasses blasting music in one, like wow your audio system works

[dim goblet]

here it was offered for 35k so there are actually a ton of them, especially taxis

[jaunty sequoia]

must be because by the time the model Y got updated, nobody wanted anything to do with tesla anymore

[potent ridge]

I think sales went down 50% here, not sure though

[jaunty sequoia]

one of my many problems with teslas is that they're treated like tech devices

you can't (afaik) spec better speakers

you can only choose color of ext and interior

[dim goblet]

you can, AWD has more speakers and 2 subs at the back

[potent ridge]

no I think that guy was just crazy tbh cus he started clapping off beat while he was waiting in traffic

[jaunty sequoia]

more, sure, but better?

[dim goblet]

17 vs 11 speakers iirc

[dim goblet]

well since I have both trims I'd say yeah

higher speaker trim goes to 120dB

and it sounds really good

[dim goblet]

all I'm gonna say is that a ton of people overlook the software update part, the car literally got better as time goes, and I get at least 1-2 updates a month

[jaunty sequoia]

this is not my point, you can't spec a base model with a better trim

[potent ridge]

doesn't change the fact they think they're all super cool with the fancy plastic tech that they have

[jaunty sequoia]

you can't have RWD standard with better speakers

[potent ridge]

yes I too change gears with a screen

[jaunty sequoia]

or ventilated seats

[dim goblet]

makes sense from a manu POV, you have to worry about less SKUs, and you can predict better which trim is gonna be produced

[dim goblet]

standard on all trims

[jaunty sequoia]

ok sure, you got me there

i'm at the spec site for the model 3 rn tho

there's fuck all to option in

i can get a tow hook

a massive selection of 2 rims

[dim goblet]

yeah I hate that on the new one, it has auto shifting now which is good, if you parallel park it will predict which gear you'll go in next, and if you're against a wall it'll put you in R directly

[potent ridge]

it really wants you to hug the wall

auto shifting sounds like a terrible idea lol

[jaunty sequoia]

winter tires arent included????

[dim goblet]

yup, honestly I prefer that to the scummy business of mercedes upcharging you for stupid stuff

[jaunty sequoia]

https://tenor.com/view/yeet-bruh-falling-gif-15495609

[dim goblet]

cars come with winter tires ? must be a nordic thing

so if I compare my experience to the GLC, we forgot to add in a certain option you can ONLY get in a pack so you have keyless start but NOT keyless entry for some dumb reason

[jaunty sequoia]

is this a new GLC?

[dim goblet]

yeah

[jaunty sequoia]

it's common for older cars to have keyless start but not keyless entry

[dim goblet]

and they also make you pay a subscription for distance regulating cruise control, about 10€ a month for hardware that's on the car

[jaunty sequoia]

is that something seperate from adaptive cruise control?

[dim goblet]

yeah adaptive cruise control is the name

so this is the option we got (standard)

and this is the pack we should have gotten (can't take options seperate btw)

[jaunty sequoia]

did y'all not check the full spec list before ordering?

[dim goblet]

notice how both names are the same

[dim goblet]

I wasn't there when it was ordered but my point is that I'm sick of this dumb mercedes naming scheme, options locked in overpriced packs and the huge amount of stock specs listed for basic stuff

[jaunty sequoia]

mercedes are a bit like that

most luxury brands are

[dim goblet]

merc, beemer, audi

[jaunty sequoia]

i think Hyundai and renault does a great job with specs

[potent ridge]

hyundai mentioned

[jaunty sequoia]

hyundai really stepped their game up

[dim goblet]

yeah they really do, I don't understand how mercedes gets away with this BS

[jaunty sequoia]

think of the demographic that buys brand new mercs

[dim goblet]

but my general criticism of German automakers
coming from tesla, any software I tried was made by an external company and it's just laggy, even the newest models are slower than a 6 years old tesla, it's embarassing
menus are clunky, confusing, unorganized, etc

luckily merc is making their own OS now, MB.OS, previous one was MBUX

[open sigil]

idrive on top

💯

[dim goblet]

eh, we had the X5 xdrive45e before, it was too dated and a confusing UI still, I haven't tested the new version though

[open sigil]

idrive 7 is so simple

[dim goblet]

yeah we had the 7

I mean all the options, not really a great UX imo

VW is also finally maing their OS in house because from the reviews I saw, the one in the ID. Buzz was a pile of trash

one thing for sure, next company car after the Merc is a Beemer

I mean those

[open sigil]

oh man

[dim goblet]

this is any pre-2020 merc btw

[open sigil]

whatever option or year gave it the full digi dash is nice though

i always loved the mercedes instrument clusters

my friend has a brand new gle53 and the dash has so much customization

[dim goblet]

that's why we originally switched to bmw, we were a mercedes family

[dim goblet]

yeahh kinda, but the middle screen looks nice from far, far from nice

biggest UX nightmare I've ever seen

[open sigil]

it doesn’t have the split screen thing

actually idk if it’s brand new it’s fairly new

bc it has the big pano

oh wait no it’s a 2025 it still has the big one

[dim goblet]

oh they haven't refreshed the GLE with the big screen yet

all their interior look similar to this

[open sigil]

yeah its the old style

i love the old one so much

[dim goblet]

new one would be great if it was responsive and better designed

[open sigil]

i wish the cluster in my car had as much customization

Yeah we're no longer going to buy any mercedes after my E350 dies or sell it. Their cars are just too expensive to own and msrp keeps rising when a bmw is 30% less in the same segment. And the market doesnt want a boat luxury car we want luxury sport cars

porsche really knows how to sell their cars lol

[jaunty sequoia]

Aren't you from California?

[frosty snow]

Driver mod 😂

[open sigil]

yeah

even though it doesn’t rain or snow here majority of normal commuter cars on the road run all seasons bc they last longer

[frosty snow]

Ye

Summer performance are good for what, 30k miles?

Probs less if u do aggressive

[jaunty sequoia]

if you buy pilot sport tires, are you really concerned about the economics of the tires?

get yourself the summer tires and enjoy the extra performance

you don't want your tires to last more than 5 years anyways

especially not 5+ year old all seasons

[frosty snow]

Might as well drive on hockey pucks 😂

Thread and bald

[jaunty sequoia]

my main issue isn't even about bald tires

that's wear, not age

[frosty snow]

Blowout possibility

[jaunty sequoia]

i've had tires with good thread that was hard as rock

[frosty snow]

Yep, hockey pucks

[jaunty sequoia]

if you don't wear out all seasons in 5 years, not getting summers is pointless

never, ever skimp on tires

the only thing connecting your car moving at 60mph to the ground

[fathom brook]

You never been to atlanta its like 80% of the cars are bald tires

[fluid yoke]

Maybe bimmercode could add that functionality?

[warm cosmos]

Cant wait to get my license and maybe a car this year

[open sigil]

never seen pilot sport all seasons as skimping out 🌝

[open sigil]

like 15

[open sigil]

you can add more stuff, but it only can show one at a time

you can get the M style coded in but it’s a lot of work

[frosty snow]

Thank goodness for Benz 😂

Even Audi has more digital dash options

[open sigil]

yeah the non m bmws are pretty limited

the right side can only display information, if we could move the speed to the middle and use both sides for info it would be cool

middle is used for maps

[frosty snow]

I guess it’s the selling point for M vs m lites / I’s

[neat isle]

No

[open sigil]

hmm

but idk if it would look better or worse if it was body colored

[dim goblet]

[neat isle]

But I like the chrome

Or at least flat silver

Flat might look cool, matching the wheels
