The M3 terrifies BMW

[malcolm]

In German, the verb always comes at the end of the sentence.

BMW = Bigtime Myself Wetting.

Here's an appropriate quote for the fossil car industry and Tesla:

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." -Mahatma Gandhi

You might be thinking small. Musk wants every car mfg. to build EV's and to succeed. EV's are good. EV car ads are good. Idea behind Tesla is to make a space for EV's and for the main stream car mfgs to follow.

EVs not plug in hybrids with ~20 miles range....

Agreed. Dell was still a year away from launching in Australia when Compaq started telling us all how bad they were, and I think the same when I see this. That they don't use Tesla's actual name doesn't obscure who they're talking about, and completely acknowledges and therefore validates Tesla as a direct competitor.

If this keeps up Tesla can avoid advertising for a bit longer.

And you bring up another mistake; bad idea in advertising to tell people (at least some of the population) that the 'other' product sucks. That just makes me want to go investigate the other product to see if your advertising is actually true - my experience is that often the advertising isn't exactly true, it's at least slanted/exaggerated/missing vital info.

I'm starting to get idea that Tesla will never have to advertise (conventionally) at this rate.

BMW is getting thoroughly blasted in the YouTube comments (on their official US channel) for both these ads.

Not a single positive so far.

Quite a few "Thanks, but I'll wait...".

 

[ZAKEEUS]

Bulls**t, that ain't the car I've been waiting for.

 

[tashtibet]

BMW's desperate commercial- model 3 is not waiting it's real future that's coming.

Usually you advertise what you are weakest at. Examples: High quality, because otherwise people would just assume your products had that characteristic. A real estate development named Sunny Valley is likely to be located in a fog belt.

Thought I would drop these here. Looks like BMW is considering Tesla a true threat based on this new campaign targeting Tesla.

 

[TexasEV]

Change the voiceover and this could easily be an advertisement for Tesla:
"If I had a Tesla I'd have been charged up and on my way hours ago, instead of having to plug into this 120V outlet all day.

Anyone here who knows audio/video stuff want to make this parody ad?

Gotta love that Level 1 charger she unplugs from and the "VROOMM" sound as she takes off in her fossil car....

"It's the car you've been waiting for... Without the 'wait'."​

God, that's horrible. I've never been 'waiting for' a BMW 3-Series, and certainly not the GIMPed BMW 330e. And, my taxes will be done another 20 or 25 times if I were to wait for the long range performance oriented plug-in ELECTRIC car of my dreams to arrive from BMW, AUDI, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Lexus, Infiniti, Acura, or whomever else among traditional automobile manufacturers. These guys never, ever, EVER should have produced these commercials. Because once 'The WAIT' is over? It will be salespeople at BMW's 'independent franchised dealerships' that will be WAITING... to see if any Customers will darken their doorways.

I loved my past BMWs and can't wait for them to catch up to Tesla. The more competition the better,

I posted these videos to Bimmerpost and now they've made the front page.

Make sure you all get on social media with these comments and use their hashtag #waitordrive. What better way to send the message right back to them that they aren't even close than with a twitter post saying "i'll wait" #waitordrive

 

[larryep]

i say praise BMW for there ads and keep comparing a hybrid to the 3!! if I knew nothing about evs and saw this ad i would wonder what those white and red things are and why she wasn't powering off of those. They look more robust.

 

[Red Sage]

I will not be surprised to find the Comments section for these videos will be closed by Monday morning.
