Now we all know for sure, how little interest I have in BMW cars. :blush:

It's not that bad, but ever since they came out with the dog like looking i3 front, I kinda gave up on their design. On their website this looks better:

Maybe, but to be honest, I don't quite understand why BMW has to do this, after all Chinese love the ICE BMWs, particularly the 5er and the 5X. Audi was popular, because the officials wanted something better than the VWs at the time. That was before regular people had enough money to buying a...

Meant to please the Chinese market...

So true, but as an EV it should be quite good.

Not surprising. Even VW turned into a software company with its own OS. Takes time to get this all working well. The good news: They actually getting into it!

On top of that, the competition is not sleeping: The “Xuanyuan” features a fully self-developed automotive-grade computing platform with a computing power of 245 TOPS and an energy efficiency ratio of 1.53 TOPS/W. The platform is compatible with diversified autonomous driving chips offered by...

I am a bit confused, because recently in a presentation they said EQS like Ioniq 5 will come with 800V.

February 2021 top premium car registration numbers in Germany: 1. Mercedes S-Class: 556 2. Porsche Taycan: 270 3. Audi E-tron GT: 212

Interesting! My conclusion: There is just too much ego at work to proof a technical point, rather than work on a really good all round car for the customer.

"bias" sounds so negative - not my intention, I'm just reporting what I see.

Very much so! In EU the public charging network is already pretty strong and in China the SCN is irrelevant. My old MS90D can now only charge with an adapter even on the SCN. We pay usually between 1 RMB and 1.6 RMB per kWh (15 to 25 cent) on public fast chargers... Not IONITY in Germany but...

The Mach-E got good reviews. The software and the UI in the car seems to be really good as well as battery size, charging speed and range. Ford also invests in Germany factory, they are onto something good...

They share more than we think anyway, since they all share many suppliers...

I agree, interior could be better, software should be better, exterior I find ugly. It is as if the boss said, lets take Taycan and make a new design around it, and nobody really wanted to do the work.

Exactly. All I meant was having the right tool for the job at hand. Fiddling on a touch screen to switch safety related features while driving just don't make sense.

This is all just marketing BS! The steering wheel will be normal and the numbers are on paper only. I just don't understand why people find it desirable to have no switches, buttons in the car to control it. Even in the Taycan I am annoyed that the easy to use button to open the trunk in the...

"Hundreds of drivers have charged that their Audis suddenly surged out of control after being shifted from ''park'' into ''drive'' or ''reverse,'' sometimes with tragic results."

After my MS90D soap box experience, I would find this price offensive! I rather buy an EQS.

Or maybe nobody dares to cheat like that - Dieselgate?
