Cancelling my Pre-order, thoughts inside from test drive

CarPlay and Android Auto maybe important to people, but I'm sure more automakers will starting moving away from CarPlay and Android Auto because of the lack of control of your data. When you use content via CarPlay or Android Auto, the data you use while working in CarPlay or Android Auto primarily goes to tech giants and not automakers. Controlling your data along with monthly subscriptions, etc.. is probably more valuable than the profit from the initial purchase of the vehicle.

Smart dog! Does he need a booster seat to steer or can he drive it “Paws Free?” Eyes Off Paws Free would be handy if there are a lot of squirrels in your neighborhood.

Actually, my dog is a "she"!

Which is precisely why people need to bitch and moan about CarPlay as much as possible.

I am totally NOT making that up. Eucalyptus green in full watermelon

And if that is not watermelon-y enough then you can special order in Java Green with red interior

(There is something wrong with our friends in Munich.)

I would easily own a BMW if all their models didn't have the butt cheeks clinching in the front.

You're right. Carplay sucks.

I might let you stop by for a flight. LOL

Six on tap, one English barleywine served properly on a beer engine and about 48°, a bit cooler than the typical cellar temp of 52°-54°.

They range from a nice pale ale, to American Strong, the barleywine rye barrel aged, Dopplebock, Belgian Dark Strong, and a 21% Imperial IPA. The lowest ABV is the pale ale at 6.2%.

you might have to ride share home.

Oh snap, I didn’t even notice you were in Vegas when I first responded. Haha

A 21% Imperial IPA, wow! That’s even higher than the Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA. If I had more than one at that ABV, I would certainly need to Uber home.

I used to homebrew but it’s been a few years. I miss it.

The fact that so many of you don’t want an editorial detailing objective opinions and truths is absolutely wild;

Yeah, you're probably right, most here probably didn't want to read an editorial that faults the sky for being blue and grass for being green. A) there's no such thing as an objective opinion. Presenting one's ideas as such is a bit obnoxious right out of the gate, particular on an enthusiasts forum where the opposite opinion is widely held. B) There are plenty of professional reviews which have already more eloquently pointed out the qualities and features ("truths") you found subjectively deficient so it's not exactly breaking news that Car Play ain't there and Fuchsia isn't part of the color palette.

Don't get me wrong, everyone is entitled to hold and express an opinion. It's fair, may even be productive to try and engage in discussion or debate before dropping such a large amount of money on a vehicle. But to walk into a community organized around the idea of common interest and basically start telling everyone that they're stupid and they smell funny, and to not expect a contrarian reaction denotes either troll behavior or a distinct lack of social awareness. Or both.

That right there is the issue with your post - your post contains mostly SUBJECTIVE OPINIONS, not objective opinions but you present and argue them as fact which will stir people up. Your list is filled with "I want", "I don't want", "I need", etc. - at least 17 times. That is not an objective opinion, is a subjective opinion based on your wants/needs/desires. Your rant about color choices, color picker, etc. is objective? ROFL.

And it's all presented under the pretext "Hopefully this information will be read by someone who can use the information to make a better product in the future! " as though you are the expert, you know exactly what is wrong with the product, and your list is what everyone wants.

You call out the responses here as "absolutely wild".

It's simple to understand. Your posts border on arrogance and you are getting pushback for that.
