i legitimately had no ideaI'm being sarcastic.
However, there are philosophical treatises about cars. Typically, but not exclusively French.i legitimately had no idea

I wouldn't be surprised if a Ph.D. candidate at the Sorbonne was working on it as I type this reply.I wonder what their take on Ace and Gary's whip is.
Now they say February 22, BUT only if a few extras are taken out of the configuration. Otherwise the order will not be processed (as if they had processed anything so far) and stay on hold until whenever. Also no solution yet for an interim car until delivery, which they dearly promised the last time. Bye Audi!Ordered a new car in January to be delivered in April. In April they said May/June. In June they said mid-August. Today they said February 22, at the earliest.
ouch that sucks. what are you going to look for as a replacement?Now they say February 22, BUT only if a few extras are taken out of the configuration.

Not sure yet. Certainly will place an order with either Mercedes or BMW. Guess that is the next best alternative. Maybe we just keep the Audi order open, place another order somewhere else and see who is first. They all take forever at the moment. Our fleet manager is thinking about other solutions as well, because my current car needs to be returned in a few weeks unless we do something about it.ouch that sucks. what are you going to look for as a replacement?
its even worse at mercedes down here. lots with only 5 cars on them. 6 months waits. its gotten completely out of hand.Not sure yet. Certainly will place an order with either Mercedes or BMW.

Be wary of women who want something 'electric'.How’s the car shopping going, Rambo?
Next year if things calm down a bit, I’ll probably start looking for a new car for Mrs DB. Maybe something electric.

Tesla’s are garbage. Gm is garbage. Honestly the Asians seem the best bet for the midrange segmentMrs DB is still WFH and not putting miles on her old Honda so there’s no big rush for us. I do need to read more about electrics to see if it would work for us. All I know is that Tesla CEO is shady as fuck.
What about the Euros?Tesla’s are garbage. Gm is garbage. Honestly the Asians seem the best bet for the midrange segment
Not much to choose from on the EV front at the moment unfortunately and the options they do have are ridiculously expensive.What about the Euros?

Volvo has awful reliabilityBummer. I knew the Porsche would be redic but was hoping the Volvo was better for value.
Everyone I know who has a Tesla are trying to get rid as the tax rebates are pretty much gone and all the electrical lights on the dashboard start to go after 2-3 years. GM's are dreadful: Chevrolet is a joke over here and no one's ever seen a Ford on the road that's older than 3 years old.Tesla’s are garbage. Gm is garbage.

Volvo's are very popular here. I thought they were decent quality and reliability, but the service costs are astronomical? My accountant's got one of the SUV hybrids. I find them a very corporate executive looking car - say's the man who drives the VW Polo. But the old 1980s Audi Quattro's were great cars.Volvo has awful reliability

Am I being deliberately obtuse? No, it is as I stated.What are you talking about?
Electrical lights on the dashboard? Not sure if there’s a double meaning to this, but there are no electrical lights on the dashboard, just one giant ipad-like screen, which one more time indicates that you are pulling stuff out of your ass.Am I being deliberately obtuse? No, it is as I stated.
Alright then, the digital display starts going wrong, giving false readings, etc. It's the same thing in my universe: Electrics, computers, diodes and megabytes. Tesla's are the proverbial space junk and won't age well.Electrical lights on the dashboard?

one more time, this is bullshit that you make up as you go. Not such thing as “false readings” or “going wrong”. Its a computer, mate.Alright then, the digital display starts going wrong, giving false readings, etc.
Why would I make up shit? There's enough of it around without having to fake it.one more time, this is bullshit that you make up as you go. Not such thing as “false readings” or “going wrong”. Its a computer, mate.

I work in all energy sectors, oil & gas to renewables and beyond. I'm quite big in the biomass and fuel world. I'm not going to be climate road kill anytime soon.Because you desperately need the actual world to conform to your narrative.
You are a self-professed tech-challenged late middle aged person who drives a VW and works in the oil industry. Throwing shit at Tesla makes sense, and in your world view Tesla needs to fail.
The actual reality is that most owners love their Tesla’s (I happen to own one, the experience is fantastic and none of the shit you claim or have seen in some fringe youtubers post is an actual problem), sales keep on going up, and Elon Musk is the richest guy in the galaxy. That’s why you make shit up.

Yes, I drive VW Polo in the Netherlands and why wouldn't I? 'Tis my choice for internal travel on roads that are congested to gridlock with small car parks and road speed restrictions and cameras that make sportier cars quite redundant other than status symbols.
When the time comes, I will engage the 1970s London gangster vehicle to get me half-way across the continent before the cops find out.
I am enjoying it, thanks so much! Please enjoy you Polo too.So enjoy your Tesla, I couldn't give a toss how popular they are.
Yes, I’ve noticed, but thanks for confirming.I'm here and here is now. The only reality I'm interested in.
Oh do grow up when you have the time.Fascinating story. Totally unrelated to your baseless/fabricated claim around quality of Teslas, but fascinating nonetheless!
Second time you mention this - care to shed some light on what the fuck you mean?
I am enjoying it, thanks so much! Please enjoy you Polo too.

Nah, thanks. I’d rather be more like me than more like you, buddy.Oh do grow up when you have the time.
Oh no you’re not a Musk fanboy are you???Because you desperately need the actual world to conform to your narrative.
