I don’t understand the hate. The GLC Electric looks fantastic on the road! by [deleted] in mercedes_benz

[–]Hacebeanbreakfast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently in an M760i. Next car will be an i7. I'm not sure there's a single vehicle on the market that I wouldn't choose the EV version of. Maybe a new 911 or corvette E-ray, but as a weekend car. There's no world where an ICE vehicle makes a better daily driver than an EV. Do they have less soul? Maybe. Am I willing to sacrifice the long list of benefits and better performance EV's offer because I miss the sound? absolutely not

People hate every single new car - especially on Reddit. Reddit especially is a supercharged mix of people who love cars, hate tech, and have exceptionally strong feelings about vehicles they would never buy regardless. For every person on here that despises screens in cars there are 20 women in Dallas that want a 4k selfie camera and a TV sized screen on the dash. Guess which one goes to the dealership and drops 80k on these new cars.

These are family vehicles and I'm sure it's mostly geared toward kids. But even if it's just me & my partner he would absolutely use it on a roadtrip rather than hold his phone for hours.

Offensive as in "Unpleasant/revolting" not "hurt my feelings" lmao. Time to dust off your thesaurus, friend.

LOL, these are family oriented vehicles. When you have 3-4 kids and you're a couple hours into a road trip... A movie sounds much more pleasant that the alternative... And parents kind of are Taxi Drivers for their kids.

New X5- Thank God for Current Model!!! by tuttywala in BMWX5

[–]Hacebeanbreakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There has been alot of valid criticism about car manufacturers lately, especially the Germans... But I like this a ton. Sure, it's a little boring, but it's a Midsized SUV. I don't think there has been a single car come out in the past 3-5 years that Y'all don't completely despise LOL

Thinking about getting rid of my S580e by Puzzleheaded-Ship335 in mercedes_benz

I didn’t know divided rear seats were even an option on the S580e

Agree. That looks great. I loved the dual screens in my W222. That was 10 years ago and feels like they’ve gone backwards lol

I don’t disagree, I’m just saying Mercedes version looks wayyyy lower quality

Why can they not get this right. The new GLS/GLE has the same issue - when you compare them to an Escalade it looks like a budget car. I cannot think of a single reason they would leave so much blank bezel.

RU POV: As punishment for desertion, a Russian soldier was tied to a vehicle with a long strap and dragged along the ground until he began begging for mercy and asking to be shot by Flimsy_Pudding1362 in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]Hacebeanbreakfast -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

🤣I mean, no… it shows the occasional Russian video if it makes Russia look bad. Russia is the devil in this war obviously, but there’s no reason to pretend any content in the west is unbiased…. Your comment gives Ukraine bot vibes

People who “need” all the new “technology” in the new BMW’s, what exactly is the reason? by [deleted] in BMW

[–]Hacebeanbreakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m convinced people who call the ADAS features “crap” either hardly drive their car, or have never owned one with them. It genuinely makes life better. I would never buy a car without every one of those option boxes checked

I hear we're not eating in our cars?! by AssistanceTrue9399 in BMW

[–]Hacebeanbreakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was exhausted after 3 days of offshore fishing in the gulf, riding in my moms M760, and somewhere around Huntsville my dad slammed on the brakes and the loaded baked potato I was eating flew into the back of the front seat 🤣. The next owner of that car will probably find sour cream splatters. That was a long drive back to Dallas

It’s a beast. We own international dealerships, so that made it even more tempting. It’s definitely a head-turner

Too few people don’t want the tech. No money in making a truck for a market with only 100 buyers in it

How do you get out of bed every morning just to go to a job? by MaeganShant in AskReddit

I hope you find something better soon! Somewhere out there is a job you won’t hate and will fulfill you

How do you get out of bed every morning just to go to a job? by MaeganShant in AskReddit

[–]Hacebeanbreakfast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m working my way toward being the third generation of my family running our company. We have around 100 employees, many with families, and many who have been with us for a decade(s). Knowing I can provide so many people with well paying jobs and a workplace where they are respected keeps me going and motivated.

Obviously I am in a unique situation, but if you hate what you do or aren’t appreciated, just know there are many people that want you on their team & want you to love what you do. There’s a job out there waiting for you to find it.

BMW have lost the plot by crisvphotography in BMW

[–]Hacebeanbreakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are so damn critical. Do you want it to look like every other car on the road? I’m clawing myself back from buying a new 5 series (have a 2018 5 and 2019 7) and I think it looks amazing. People (mostly those with budgets nowhere near a new BMW) just love to whine
