Biden Administration already has a 100% tariff on all Chinese EVs, which is why there are zero companies looking to move into the US from China. It is hurting Polestar quite a bit, and forcing them to accelerate production to the US for the 3 and 4.

It is 100% likely you have a nicer set up than I do.

True, but getting it set up perfectly (focus, angle, etc) would have taken most of the nearly 4 minutes of totality we had. Not sure even a good DSLR could have captured the full beauty of it, not my average consumer set up anyway.

We were replacing our '20 Cayenne E Hybrid, and had three SUVs on order. A '24 Cayenne S E Hybrid, an Audi RSQ8 and then the XM. Dropped the Audi with the BSG issues leaving people stranded. We were given 13% off MSRP on our ordered XM, and the S E Hybrid hasn't even gone into production, and...

Just picked up an XM, which has the PHEV set up that is being ported over to the M5. Still in the 1200 mile break in, but electric range showing 37 miles in a 6,000 lb SUV. Should be higher on the M5 sedan and touring. (I know the XM is ugly, but the interior is glorious and I am in there...

Cleared up out in NW Travis county for around 3 minutes before totality, and stayed clear for all totality. I really should have purchased the eclipse lens filter for my good camera. Best my iPhone could do…

A parent at my daughter’s school bought one, they are truly hideous.

A good number of Bimmerpost forum members already have their i5s so may want to ask there. As far as the others go, I dropped my Lucid allocation as they didn't have a showroom or service center anywhere near me, Polestar was not on my list as I preferred others over it. Have you considered...

I think showing acceleration numbers on the website, per model, is just something the German manufacturers do. BMW does, so does Audi, however Lexus doesn't. It can also, at a quick glance, show there is a difference between electric motors, the number of said electric motors, and attainable...

They are everywhere in Cedar Park and Leander also...

I had one on order, but took the Cayenne E Hybrid instead as it came in first and drove better. I am over on Bimmerpost, same username.

That was the original plan, we were going to order a 2025 Cayenne S E Hybrid, however the issue with my current E Hybrid is the fuel injectors. Apparently it is common to need to replace them every 20,000 miles or so in a PHEV (this isn’t solely a Porsche problem, googling brought up any and...

I am currently looking at replacing my Cayenne (maybe, it has been having some issues, currently in the shop for the past 2 weeks) and am going between an Audi RSQ8, an Audi RS6, and a BMW X5 M60i. Price points are higher on the Audis, but really looking to see if anyone has one of these...

I had a '23 BMW iX M60, I kept it for 2 months, it was a lemon. Most of the other people who were early adopters have sold theirs as well. Mine would do phantom braking, similar to a Tesla, and had a very large number of tech issues and electrical glitches that were always promised to be...

The iX M60 comes with Pirelli PZeros if you spec the performance tire (in the US). They also have amazing brakes, as I can attest to mine phantom braking from 60mph and almost giving me whiplash. That said, there is a reason I got rid of it after only 2 months (lots and lots of electrical...

The car companies need to hire competent software architects, in addition to better software engineers. That will make a larger difference than who is managing the division. The fact is that engineers themselves (I am married to one, hardware engineer, designs chips) generally do not make...

I traded a 2 month old (well, 8 months old at that point after sitting in an overflow lot for 4 months outside Dingolfing, 1 month in Bremerhaven, and 1 month in Houston) '23 BMW iX M60. Tons of issues with it, high voltage warnings within the first week, phantom emergency braking from 60mph...

I had a BMW iX M60, my personal one had some issues, which may have been due to it being parked in an overflow lot in Germany for 4 months. That said, it is a much better vehicle all around than the MB, handling, comfort, luxury with the upgraded leather, and overall tech integration. It also...

Rent a C8 and see if you can live with it for a few days. They are typical GM inside, regardless of how quick they are.

Looks like someone pasted the iX front end on a 5 Series. Bimmerpost had their render up last week, looks better than this (still won't come to the US as an estate though). https://f90.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1975873
