    Superbowl Auto Commercials

      Not much more can be said other than another year, another round of fun filled commercials. Here we are posting all the Auto ones to watch, discuss and enjoy.

    Short and sweet, what is not to love about the Superbowl ads. Tell us what you like, as more are released, hopefully we get them all posted here.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Seems there is a whole series of Dr. EV-il commercials at the GM Youtube channel.

    GMC has released a whole series of Declassified videos on new technology.

    Can't wait to learn some of the insurance rates for 3-sec capable vehicles. 
    I feel like it'll be the early 70s all over again.

    I'm sure the numbers are out there for the current 3-sec capable vehicles.

    ^ Well, Tesla is already #1 in average insurance costs in 49/50 states... so I assume everyone's BE insurance is going to go up noticably.
    My wonder is; once the aging & poor drivers are all in BE's... are accident/fatality numbers going to keep going up like the last few years (not saying that's primarily due to BE; there aren't enough of them to move the needle yet).

    Is Tesla #1 in insurance rates because of speed, or is it because repair bills for high tech is still expensive.

    OR...

    Is it because Tesla's production for spare parts is lagging behind GM and Ford. Cost effectiveness not as effective...

    Im sure (maybe Im wrong) the Chevrolet Bolt and Nissan Leaf do not commandeer higher insurance premiums than their internal combustion equivalents... 

    Not for speed, and not for the lack of spare parts that take a long time to produce and are quite high in price to charge the insurance companies to repair.   Maybe their is a higher cost to repair when the battery pack is damaged and hence why maybe there might be a difference in insurance between a Bolt and a Spark or a Leaf and a Versa...

    Well, Tesla is a brand, not a model (Bolt, leaf).

    Moneygeek says the average for a Bolt is $1529, average for a Cruze is $1277.
    Would love to learn the algorithm that calculates that difference.

    Yes.  I would love to know why and how the actuaries came to those numbers. 

    With insurance, its no longer about driver's history, price of vehicle and what engine is under the hood. 

    Its how far you travel from work, your daily commute consists of what roads, what your neighborhood looks like, what colour your vehicle  is, how many doors it has...

    on TOP of age of vehicle, age of driver, marital status, gender...

    Actuaries know how to math...and they math the hell out of you and me.  

    In my opinion, Actuaries are just mathing the shyte out of EVs JUST because they can... 

     

    But...I dont see the outrage in that.  

    I just see the outrage on (privately owned) dealerships (businesses) telling you outright they will price adjust your vehicle according to what the market says.

    Actuaries just use math to out-math you senselessly with all kinds of hidden math just to get the math out of your pocket and into theirs...

    I will say I was impressed that the BOLT has one of the highest resell value after 3 years according to this:

    Should look at trucks. 1-yr old Sierra at same site is at 85% value. But go via KBB.com and it's private party value is 96%... vs. sticker.
    But vs. what I paid, my Sierra is at 109% resale value. :D

    Keep in mind how poorly built Teslas are and how hard it is to get them repaired...also, they have a lot of crashes because the zombies that drive them assume 'auto pilot' too literally..

    This is exactly what I was trying to convey.   About how hard Teslas are hard to repair. Because of various Tesla specific  idiosyncrasies.  

    Forgot about the 'auto pilot' thing and how stupid Tesla sheeple zombies could be.  And therefore insurance actuaries take THAT into account too.

      Whatever do you mean?   I thought that Toyota cars are trouble free... But you are right, Id be regretting it long term as I am gonna keep this car as long as I can.  In all honesty though, but sarcastically too, why would a creaky and rattily interior be a bother to me?  I grew up on and enjoyed GM cars of the 1980s and 1990s...    Bought new. Like always. I went to visit KIA, briefly.  They had no cars available for an immediate purchase either. I didnt stay to ask for more information.  Elantra N would have been of interest...but in reality, too small.   I wanted to see how a Sonata or K4 would have been like, but same as KIA or anybody else for that matter, Hyundai had no cars available for immediate delivery.  The only EV I wanted to buy, for my wife, was the Equinox. But...the base Equinox was not available for purchase yet and the higher trims were 6 months waiting period.  We could  have waited for an Equinox, well, I didnt have a problem waiting for it, she did though. Well, she didnt want to spend 50-60 thousand Canadian big ones on an EV. Or any car really.  As for me me...I wanted the Equinox for her, she didnt mind the Equinox, she liked it, but for me me, there was/is a huuuuuge problem with the Equinox EV...its that its an SUV. Me dont likey SUV.  The Charger EV was not available for sale, then.  I wouldnt have considered it though as it kinda sucks as an EV.  Its not bad, but it aint good.  As we speak, the inline 6 is available to buy, but lordy lordy lordy, it must be expensive as heck.  So...like I said, Accord or Camry.   I stayed with the Honda family.  Wife has a Civic. I have an Accord.  It pains me that I have turned Japanese.  But hey...what is it I say?  Elbows Up???!!!
