No, it really doesn't. But nice try. Level 3 also doesn't demand you use lidar, radar, ultrasonic, GPS, road mappings and so on, but guess what! Legacy makers are and Tesla are not. In accepting legal liability, Mercedes-Benz are telling the world they're confident and that anyone disavowing...

Won't happen, not least because at this level Tesla must assume all liability and of course, they won't and couldn't afford to anyway. Can we take a brief moment to appreciate what others can sell as an option right now: I mean, Tesla can't even get the rain bit right. What does this mean...

I dare say that on particular roads in favourable conditions at a certain time of day with a certain level of light, it does a passable job for a cheap, not that powerful in-car computer rivalled by your average games console. If that's everyone's idea of an AI robot car of the future, have at...

Also the trees and parked cars conspire with the angle of the approach to obscure the stop sign (circled below, on the right). Think of how many Give Way or other signs are obscured or illegible or bent over or graffitied on an average urban drive in this country. There are deep flaws in a...

Beavis and Butthead in the front remind me of certain contributors here, sermonising on Tesla's magnificence while their car breezes through stop lights and wanders dementedly into oncoming traffic. It shouldn't be used on the public highway, it's dangerous and it's never going to work.

The old lady in those videos is super nice about everything. Not the place for insightful criticism.

From Bjorn's tests, EQC ranks no.2 for silence on his "noise" tab, ahead even of the newer EQE and BMW iX. I've been in one. It is whisper quiet and comfortable. Some people like old skool luxury and will pay the extra.

Autopilot lol. The Ioniq 5 has real world functional things like a 360 camera, blind spot avoidance system and actual working rain-sensing wipers. It also has a five year basic warranty and probably five times the number of service centres. You pays your deposit and takes your choice.

Yes. You will have read car magazines running on endlessly about how such-and-such a car "undercuts the competition" without admitting that 80% of new cars are bought on PCP, and that the sticker price they are comparing is therefore meaningless. It's even meaningless to P11d-obsessed company...

Pricey how? Ioniq 5 is Model 3 money per month. You could have a Mercedes-Benz EQC for Model 3 money per month too, despite the Benz being an £80K car. The idea that the M3 or MY represent "best value" or whatever is misdirection.

Feel your pain. My car is younger and has covered half the mileage, yet this week is about to undergo its third front driveshaft and third air spring module replacement. Having been laid up at the SC for 2-3 months this year alone, the warranty could last a century, come with free tyres and...

Oh yes. When other auto makers scrambled to duplicate Tesla's success they overlooked the logical calm of configuring the car and the smartphone-like ease with which it all slips into your life.

Is that you dad

The above is an incredibly thorough post and even copyrighted. I would only add that you must take a test drive. If you do a lot of motorway driving, and it seems you do, you could well be put off by the noise and dynamics of the 3 and Y and prefer a German car. My recent previous purchases...

You could always unsubscribe from this thread? From skimming a few pages in your link it seems that, six months later, your side of the argument is still circling the elephant in the room: that literally every other car on sale has functional USS-based parking which is a tried and tested...
