I think it’s just my good luck that I haven’t had to lay eyes on one of these yet.

I am excited to see it in person though, certainly a novelty.
Surprisingly I have yet to see one in the dc metro, but I was able to spot rivians over a year ago

Correct. It’s actually relatively well priced for what it is… essentially a loaded wrangler stickers the same way but doesn’t come with a “proper engine” unless you 392 at which point it’s 100k.

But it gets abysmal mpg and has like 10 turns lock to lock and terrible turn radius and it may not fit into most garages due to width and height

??? What are you talking about? I never said that either. All I said was you live in a bubble. Teslas sell disproportionately in huge numbers in the Bay area. You being surprised by the reaction on here illustrates you live in a bubble. No idea why you're so defensive, it's just a comment. Your exposure to Tesla is totally different than most of the country.
I am defensive because I am constantly singled out here for some sort "bubble" comments. Look no further than the BMW convertible gate. So here I am all butthurt.

I was thinking the same, for $80k or whatever like 95% of people will think it’s a G Wagen. It looked awesome.

Sounded good and aggressive too. We were next to it for a few miles through several lights.

Seen a few hanging out at the Ferrari dealer. They seem.... decent? I dunno. The side attachment rail things are stupid. But otherwise the truck seems decent.

Those are optional. You can get a pretty neat one with safari windows and a two tone paint scheme for around 8x

It's much more interesting than a G Wagen.

Agreed, I’m not a G Wagen person at all but they are status symbols and really fucking expensive. This thing delivers in all those ways and is a quite interesting choice, particularly at a much lower price point.

They are indeed status symbols, I don't care how modern it looks, as far as status symbol and wanted to gain just as much attention as Kylie Jenner, Range Rover is probably what I would go for. They are far much better to drive and roomier. The only thing I like about the g63 is how the front end lifts by inches and thats about it.

I would 392 Wrangler or V8 Fendie if I was that rich and wanted a stupid off road :fancy: thing. Maybe I would actually test drive the Ineos. RR and G series and Urus are just too ubiquitous with the trophy wife set where I live, and probably everywhere.

This was really well maintained... 2X spark plug changes by 50k miles. Those things run $1500 per. Main thing I didn't like in this car was the quality of the seats ... they were either bathed in tire shine or completely worn out. Really hard to see in pics.

Coated in farts probably.

Hearing your complaints with the F80 platform really makes me happy I went with a GM smallblock for a powerplant.
M3 is a hell of a machine, definitely a step up in the status world but, I like a car I can thrash on.

IMO it is impossible to beat a small block CHEBBY for performance, ease of maintenance and efficiency. Yea... cry me a river euro lovers. But :fax: is :fax: Rest of the car :doe: well that's where the online armchair quarterbacking comes in.

The Ineos is actually cooler than everything you just talked about, IMHO, even the first two.
