As I read your comment, the thought 'is he even allowed to wash his car at work' randomly popped into my head. In my country, that's a damn stupid question, but according to Bard, he might actually need some kind of permit?! Take that with a grain of AI salt, but since this isn't his first rodeo, there may be a touch of truth to it😅

I was literally thinking the same thing hahaha but on second thought you can't take a $500,000 car just anywhere to wash it especially if it's (im assuming) a press car. The risk of scratching or damaging a press car from trying to wash it is probably not worth the headache. That's my guess

@@Kryojenix Sure, but that's not REALLY how they're presenting it either. It's a superior luxury experience by virtue of being electric. So, it's less that "we made compromises to be environmental" and more "you want this electric because it's even better than what you had". The environmental aspects are a small marketing cherry on top.

My wife's cousin is an engineer at the Rolls Royce factory which is near where we live in UK, and he's allowed to book it out for evenings and weekends - can you believe it, he's mid 20s! He brought it over this week, and we went touring around the country roads round us. I wonder if Marques noticed - he didn't mention it, so probably he didn't drive at night - but those 'stars' in the headlining actually have shooting stars that randomly shoot across the headlining!!! It really is an occasion to ride in this car, and I love that it represents total dedication to excellence in every detail. Another small thing: those hub caps with the "RR" letters in the middle: they don't turn, they are always pointing up the 'right way'...

I believe it's because for the type of people buying this car, actual HP/performance numbers shouldn't matter - it's a luxury vehicle meant for extremely comfortable and quiet transportation, not a track or performance car.

I've felt the indicators and their heaviness of life's "realities" and situations that one finds while growing up that can make people more complacent with their situation. Yet, I firmly believe in the American dream regardless of how difficult it may be and at times even at the whims of luck and timing. Please don't let the childhood enthusiasms in you die because they are more useful when you're older and have the resources and experience to create great, valuable things. Whether it's sacrificing 30 minutes a day to create a new venture, or pivoting and scaling a current one, you can do it Bob. Adjust the sails, feel the wind on your face and sail on.

Marques called the S-Class a luxury car but that's premium with a luxury loom and feel. Rolls Royce and Bentley are true luxury brands because they put importance on real materials and as much handcrafted or finely crafted parts as possible. Marques talked about how smooth the air vents moved but brushed over what he demonstrated that they actually were metal. On an S-class, 7-series etc they might be plastic with a metal look. I think Rolls Royce at least will resist pure touchscreen controls because the customers want the tactility, tradition and as a brand they don't need to cut costs by reducing physical controls.

I have driven both the S Class and the latest Bentley Bentayga. They are both Luxury cars. Bentley Bentayga also have lots of plastic, but cost 3 times the price of the S class. I can tell you it’s not smoother to drive than a S class. Yes they have more hand finished items and more expensive carpet, but the leather look and feel Similar. The Mercedes is the best value Luxury car you can buy, anything over that and it’s just about status, and money no object. The Bentley cost £1300 for a standard oil service. Elon musk put everything on a screen to cut costs, now people think it’s better. As a model Owner, my car would be much better with some buttons. Not safe going into the screen menu for everything. The buttons will come back on the higher end cars like Mercedes and BMW

@bossman4401 I wonder if that's down to the Bentayga being the sister car to the Toureg, Cayenne, Q8, Q7 and Urus and one of the last on that platform. I feel BMW let's Rolls Royce be as bespoke as possible and more exclusive as well as the pinnacle whereas Bentley is apparently below or was below Bugatti and then maybe shares more from the VAG parts bin.
