Congrats on the acquisition! After spending some time behind the wheel of both a 3 & S series, I'm blown away by the amount of tech in those things.

I about lost it seeing the summoning feature in person; both activating for valet service and self parking when called off... insane.

It does (not sure technically when they're applied, but they definitely get applied)

Thanks!

Yeah I don't remember when they switched it, but it used to be the only standard paint was black now the only standard paint is white.

My wife insisted we get red.

She was right.

he most certainly did...
I sent him your post where you called him out as well.
He's alive...doing important shit like keeping peeons honest.
So basically same shit he did here.

The S5 is as close to black as I intend on getting in the foreseeable future unless some crazy deal comes across I can't pass up.
The suburban gets washed once every 2 months and J is terrible at avoiding puddles and dirt roads...it never looks dirty it just looks
really clean when I wash it.

The Plaid S gets close, but still can't time travel. Marty McFly ain't got shit on the RLX.

I'm curious to hear what it feels like to hop back in the CR-V (or any ICE vehicle) after driving the Tesla for a while.

It's a little weird for sure. The biggest things are the Tesla doesn't really coast at all at speeds under 40, so the CR-V is a bit of an adjustment and I find myself wanting to keep my foot towards the accelerator when in reality I need to err towards the break. Also, the fact that the CR-V idles forward when no pedals are pressed is something I have keep in mind.

And be careful, I got kicked out of Tijuana for giving someone the Steven Bell treatment.
