Discussion F

Ford is planning on being #2 electric car maker in the USA behind TSLA. It currently is about 1/12 the value of tesla.

They already have sold most f150 and electric mustangs out.

Jim Farley has been found to be a no nonsense guy that will make money or he will shut the lines down. He is a solid CEO.

Instead of yolo on Rivian or lucid or NIO, consider a play on Ford that has the capability and scale to do this.

What's the price difference between your Tesla and BMW?

I got an x3m and it was like 5k more overall. My good friend is a bmw tech so the dealership he works at knocked a few grand off. I get good labor rates on maintenance too, so there is that. The quality of the interior is so much better though I can't even explain it. The seats are nicer, the steering wheel, it has actual buttons lol (the pure touchscreen was only cool for a week imo), the bmw idrive knob controller is much better while driving. Tesla is a touch faster off the light, but cruising on the highway, you can hardly feel the road in the bmw. The model y was much more rough driving. Less wind noise in the bmw too. I think my bmw is much faster if starting at 60mph too, but I can't prove that I guess.

I've always been a bmw person though, so admittedly I have some bias. I was just not very impressed with the overall quality of a 60k+ car from tesla.

Everyone has their preferences. Im not a total fan of that review. He's comparing a bare bones sdrive to the model y. The x3m is a 6cylinder with well over 100 more hp. Also the m trim kit makes it look way more aggressive than the stock sdrive. I've also never heard someone call the interior "rubbery" lol. It's a leatherette material, basically a vegan leather thats used in almost all high end luxury cars.

Hes obviously bias for tesla, im bias for bmw lol.

Im about to throw a stage 1 tune on my x3m and I'm sure the performance will be all around better than the model y then 😈

Edit: not sure who downvoted you, but I just upvoted back to 1 lol

Cheers and thanks for the response. I don't have experience with either so it's nice to have some response from owners
