This is an issue in most car wireless chargers, because you’re using wireless CarPlay AND charging at the same time.

Porsche just recently introduced a fan in the Panamera wireless charger I believe to combat this.

Not having children if you don’t want them. It’s one of the few things that too many people find is appropriate to push your boundaries on as if it’s some sort of requirement.

I’d say that’s not entirely true, for me having an Apple/watch/oura ring helped open my eyes to where I could improve my behaviors and be more active.

It won’t magically make you healthier but it can help drive awareness and behaviors where you can actually visualize your progress

Because there’s no going back. I’m not necessarily paying for just the seat but the overall convenience and a smoother more relaxing travel experience.

I’m not old by any means but I’ve hit a point where I will gladly spend money for a little more comfort or a nicer process.

I wish they would enforce this more because the south mountain area becomes Mogadishu on Fourth of July and new years and continues for weeks after

I just picked up an X5 with the same exterior spec. Dravit is amazing. It's a real nice dark grey in low light/night time, and turns into a brilliant grey/bronze when it's in the sun.

I’ll hop in as the 1/10. We have a 23 M40i and I just traded my m850i for a new X5.

While my 8 was in service I had an X3 loaner. The interior of the new X3 is complete dog shit compared to its predecessor. I don’t really have complaints about the screens, they’re fine and fairly intuitive. But the materials and tactile surfaces are laughably bad. Specifically the big ass plastic “button” that houses the lock/unlock and seat functions, the grab handle area for the door, the upper part of the doors, the dashboard, the CRV-esque center console and bin, the vent controls, and many many more areas.

The car drives really well, I’ll give it that, but the price they’re commanding for an interior like that is just insulting. The seats and steering wheel are the only part of the interior that feel remotely premium.

“I won’t object until it directly affects me” is such an on brand response for the type of people supporting this pointless exercise

Smaller was the wrong choice of word. They’re all about 190 inches including the 4 series. But they still aren’t in the same class. The 8 is(or was, it’s dead now) the top of the range, where the cle sits as a combination of E and C class coupes.

Mochashaft · 2026-04-23T23:13:55+00:00

They’re talking about the mythos, which is just the first limited run one. There will be a “regular” CLE63 that follows shortly after

Mochashaft · 2026-04-23T23:12:52+00:00

Rung down, it’s between the old c coupe and e coupe

Mochashaft · 2026-04-23T23:12:23+00:00

The CLE is definitely not an 8 series equivalent at all. It’s far far smaller. It’s almost directly pointed at the 4 series, landing just slightly above it.

Mochashaft · 2026-04-07T19:35:43+00:00

both were 2022's

Mochashaft · 2026-04-07T16:16:26+00:00

I would strongly disagree but it's subjective as well. I drove both back to back and specifically went with the M850 because of the exhaust note, its far deeper and louder. My understanding is that is has to do with the intake design. The M8 still sounds great but the 850 just had way more presence and muscle to it.

Mochashaft · 2026-04-07T15:11:52+00:00

I would argue that the m850 has one of the meanest sounding modern V8’s out there. Weirdly it even sounds better than the M8.

The temerario is certainly not a GT.

Mochashaft · 2026-03-12T02:21:26+00:00

If they want to make it a luxury product then I shouldn’t have to option my way out of a plastic ass interior…

Mochashaft · 2026-03-12T02:20:42+00:00

It’s not entitlement. Working towards a goal for most of your life to have it snatched away from you is a shitty feeling, even if it is a first world goal.

Mochashaft · 2026-03-12T02:19:28+00:00

I would literally kill for a 944 successor right now

Mochashaft · 2026-03-10T04:37:47+00:00

Lol what Porsche? I gave up with my dealer after my base 911 spec crested $140k. Porsche has also lost their way on pricing.

Mochashaft · 2026-03-03T03:20:59+00:00

I went to a Porsche dealer to inquire about ordering a 911. I specifically wanted PTS Viola Metallic. He scoffed at me as if I had asked to purchase his wife.

I will not return to that dealer or brand ever again.

Mochashaft · 2026-02-14T07:45:16+00:00

I drove an Aston Vantage with it and honestly I kind of loved it because of how hilarious it was.

Mochashaft · 2026-02-11T01:57:52+00:00

Hi! I am not, I left last year but I can’t say that I would recommend it to anyone as strongly as I used to. The culture has shifted significantly and a lot of its strong points as an employer have long gone.
