It's not even close. 300 mile range is also not enough to compete. I just don't understand why BMW can't do better than this. Hopefully the BMW i4 will have at least close to comparable range to the Tesla and have the performance to match as well although this is unlikely.

To me the difference between BMW EVs and Tesla comes down to performance and quality. Choose one and you've chosen which manufacturer.

But why is a 0-60 time of 3 seconds a benchmark? Who needs that in real life? I rather have a 0-60 in 5 seconds which is extremely quick for this vehicle and bump the range to 350-360.
