I love my S Plaid more than my previous 20 M5, 17 X5M, 14 M5, 11 M3 and 09 C63 AMG.

All 99% of people care about is 0-60.

I used to be more of a 70-130 man. But, you spend a few nights in jail and that 0-60 starts to kick ass.

Then everyone would be driving a Tesla.

I said it before. It's the common talking point about the EV cult using 0 to 60 times as a justification/benefit of going EV. Yet, performing 0 to 60 displays of speed is counter to the green image/virtue signaling many want to front.

But in the grand scheme of things, except for a handful of EV (mostly Tesla owners), EV owners never tap into that instantaneous torque. Most of them drive their toasters leisurely from point A to point B worried more about the tech in their infotainment than any performance that car could produce.

That's the sad part, almost no one is interested in driving, handling, feeling a well balanced car, for the 99% of people cars are appliances, so there's market for big mini 4wds full of gadgets and this "wow what a car" wave. Again, smartphones with 4 wheels

The heading says it all, these can't be driven in a sure footed way with the heavy weight, (2.2 tons) better brakes,suspension,seats and steer wheel are needed, luckily these two are highly experienced pilots and don't add to the accident toll on this long track.

Brand new EV is a write off, will the insurance even pay up? re ''an act of God clause'' in the insurance small print.

After a few minutes it must get annoying as crap. 99% of the time one is driving his car in a familiar area and to a known destination, no map is needed.

Come on. They are looking at their screens dog!! They are on their phones🤣. No time for that screen

Haha for real, another fallacy? Ad hominem. Maybe this time I’ll give you a chance to get back on topic, I bet you can’t.

I love all of that. The large screen is customizable as well. It's just personal preference. I like "live" nav especially when driving to work and going to other hospitals. I did this in my M5 as well since bad traffic events would be caught occasionally and I would detour. When it saves you it is gold.

Youtube, Netflix, Twitch, Hulu, etc. plus a browser if you want to login to your tv provider and watch live. Cannot use it while moving though

I've never had to charge anywhere but home overnight. It is nice when chilling in the cell phone lot at the airport or waiting in the car with my toddler while either my wife or I run into a store.
