I have a BMW and I kind of need to defend the turn signal thing.
The turn signal design at least on my 2011 is a joke. It doesn’t click down or up, it returns to center. The indicator arrows on the dash aren’t super obvious during daylight. And you can’t really hear it dinging if you have the radio on. It’s really easy to think you’re signaling but you’re not and I’ve even been driving the same car for 10 years so it’s not a skill problem
I fuck up at least one signal per day and I always feel bad about it lol

Oh, im well aware that their design was a problem and they corrected it in their current cars. Old streotypes are hard to overcome, but at this point its just friendly ribbing about peoples choice in vehicles, like all hiking trails have an orange Subaru at the trail head and Carolla drivers like vanilla ice cream.
We all can collectivly egg on Tesla drivers because <gestures broadly to everything>
