This. Exactly this.
I've overheard potential buyers (not just at BMW, but all car dealerships) asking questions like:
- Can I get this car in an all-electric version?
> No
- Can I get this car with AWD (dual motor)
> No
- Can I get this car with autopilot
> No
- Will this car receive updates over the air?
> No
- Does the base model come with 300+ HP?
> No
- Can I control this car using an app?
> No
- Can I fuel/charge for free?
> No
Then why pay 80k for a 5-series, if you can also get a tesla for that price?

- hcg 8y agoThey should really just have anyone who asks if they can control the car using an app tossed out.
- LeonM 8y agoBeing able to pre-heat the cabin, or checking the charge status on a phone is a reason to be 'tossed out' of the dealership? Boy, you'd be a good car salesman!
