    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.

    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.

    • I have to say that I am very excited by this potential competitor to the Cadillac EscaladeIQ. Both Full size Luxury SUVs. Interiors Yes I know the Genesis is a concept and the suicide doors and flip chairs will not make it to production, but I do hope those chair designs do as they look very comfy and supportive. I have to say that I really like the exterior styling of the Genesis even more than the Escalade.
    • Yeah, it doesn't seem super space efficient.
    • So three major problems with this car, one, terrible Jellybean external shape, not impressed at all with the style. Second is the buttonless dash having everything via a touch screen and rotary knob, terrible safety issue as your eyes will be off the road more than on trying to find the right option in the right menu. Third is the center pack clearly cuts into valuable leg space based on their own picture. This is a hard pass.
    • Great Masculine shape, really digging the style they did here.
    • First seen at the Shanghai Auto Show (see article: Polestar 4 - The New Breed of Electric SUV Coupe), Polestar brought the Polestar 4 to the New York International Auto Show for North Americans to see in person. Polestar calls the Polestar 4 an "electric SUV 4-door coupe". Outside of that marketing speak, the Polestar 4 is a slightly lifted four-door hatchback about 190 inches in length, or roughly 2 inches shorter than a Toyota Camry.  Built without rear glass, the Polestar 4 makes use of a rear camera for visibility astern. Polestar 4 features a plethora of standard content, including 20-inch 5 V-spoke black diamond cut alloy wheels, panoramic glass roof, adaptive cruise control, 360 parking camera with 3D view, energy saving heat pump, front-illuminated Polestar logo, e-latch doors, power-operated tailgate with soft close, Polestar digital key, wireless phone charging, and 8-way electrical driver seat and 6-way electrical passenger seat. The fastest production car the brand has ever developed to date, Polestar 4 can accomplish a 0-60 mph sprint in 3.7 seconds and in top spec can produce 544 horsepower. Long-range single-motor variants have 272 horsepower and a targeted EPA range of over 300 miles. All long range variants have a 102 kWh battery capable of 200 kW charging on a DC Fast Charger and 11 kW on home level-2 charging. Google built-in is ... built in and includes Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play. Polestar continues to offer a leading connected in-car experience. As with all other Polestar cars, regular over-the-air updates allow for new features and improvements to be sent remotely to all vehicles. Pricing starts at $54,900, with orders opening in April for deliveries in the latter half of this year.   View full article
