- Tom checks out the 2022 BMW i4 M50 in the InsideEVS first-drive review.
The i4 M50 is the performance version of BMW's new i4 all-electric gran coupe. The dual-motor, all-wheel-drive powertrain pumps out 536-hp and 586 lb-ft torque and can propel the vehicle from 0 to 60-mph in less than 4 seconds.

I'd take this over a model 3 any day.... 💜
duh, the panel on model 3 is uneven and this one 's quality is far superior
For more detailed information on our first-drive impressions, check out the full written review: insideevs.com/reviews/540010/bmw-i4-first-drive-review/
great review on the regeneration....I have this car and I totally agree!
After what my new mini showed me today. i want to cry. the level of sophistication in just the Mini is already at this level. i wonder what it would be like to be in big brother BMW. Man, totally blew me away when my side mirror automatically tilt down to look at the curb when reversing into a space. wow…
That paint job though, a win!
looks like a wrap tho.
Thanks Tom…just what we’ve been waiting for. Leased the i3 to kill time until they work out the i4 bugs you mentioned and ones yet to come. After a month of driving we like the regenerative braking. Release the accelerator a little at a time to vary the effect. The different levels of braking is kinda built in, so to speak.
According to the BMW website, these cars are supposed to arrive in the U.S. in the Spring of 2022, but the pre-orders are already filled. Delivery after June 2022 for those who haven’t already put down a $1500 refundable deposit.
Can't wait to see the base car review. I'll take the extra 55 miles of range over a little more acceleration. Let's hope they improve the charge curve in the midrange. Over all the base car will be a very good road tripper. Probably do 600 mile challenge with just two stops.
Why not get a model 3 and get both😅
@@hiravparekh8695 For me, base i4 is definitely the better choice than the model 3. Between build quality, interior and exterior styling, and the trunk instead of the fastback, and the lack of options, the model 3 is beat by the i4 for me. Not to mention, its sounding like the i4 may drive better than the model 3 (but I'm still not sure based off the review). I like Tesla, but I'm glad there's finally options for people like me who prioritize things more than straight line acceleration.
The one thing that I'd love to see from BMW is an equivalent of sentry mode!
@@arshzahed1970 my big worry with electric cars is finding charging stations tesla has the most in my area so its hard for me to consider anything other than a tesla or stick with gas
@@porkypine602 Tesla will be opening their superchargers to other EVs (with purchase of an adapter in the US). Elon stated it would be this year, but knowing him, probably more likely to be first quarter 2022. This is largely due to a federal funding bill that requires universal compatibility for them to qualify.
@@arshzahed1970 Or get invited back to the White House.
Great review. I am waiting for the base model review. I am about to buy my first ev and I am between this and the m3LR. I am leaning towards the bmw because can not imagine spending 60k and buy a car that squeaks or have panel gaps. I prefer quality over 1 second faster 0-60 or 10-20 miles more range.
It's great, stylish and its range and efficiency put it on top of the best of the segment.
Agree it looks great and is stylish but the efficiency seems lacking. Only 240 miles EPA (estimated) from an 82kwh battery is far from class-leading.
range and efficiency put it on top!? did you actually watch the video?
@@philparker1278 in South Africa it will be Teslas don't exist 😂🤣
EPA range rating are meaningless... wait for real world tests.... there the German makers always exceed their rating while teslas miss their EPA mark
@@nc3826 No they do not miss their EPA range. Every test has a methodology. If you test with the same methodology then you’ll get the same figures
I ordered the I 4 and I’ve been all around u tube looking at EV’s I own a 535igt and love the look and performance of the BMw. I hope I like it as much as I like my GT
21:52 - main screen top middle, u can see a notch with flashing IR LED’s. There is almost certainly a camera.
Also the 48kg that 50/50 weight balance would move to the front isn’t going to stop excessive rear squat under acceleration, im0. It’s part rear suspension architecture too.
It’s evident that BMW took it even more serious than other German competitors! I like it for EVs to look like the normal car, people would consider buying them easier too.
Would love to see tesla rip the drive train out of the BMW and put their own in it and then see the improvement in range and general all round performance.
"tesla RIP"
@@nc3826
Yup tesla ripping down the track leaving BMW behind, especially with the new ones coming from Berlin in the next month or 2, BMW will be old hat (actually already are) before anyone can say tesla stock to the moon.
@@brettmciver432 M3 is a clear winner in my book. This Bmw is new yet it is still inferior to the M3 which is already several years old. Bmw is history.
@@Scrap-press
The other problem is the BMW won't stop the bmw drivers being the worst on the the road.
Tommy, Thanks for the invite (angry face). lol
4:32 I'm pretty sure you can change the distance/intensity in the settings
@InsideEVs US: Regarding your claimed software clitch: If the system slowed you down until there where 10-20 car lengths i.e. 50-100m in between you and the guy in front of you when driving on the Autobahn, it was engaging until the legal requirement for keeping distance on German roads were met. The rule is that you need to keep a distance of speed in kph / 2 in meters, e.g. if your drive 150kph you need to keep a minimum distance of 75m or more than 15 car lengths. Violation is heavily fined.
I think it looks really good, big pho grills and all. I continue to be impressed with Tesla efficiency. Only Hyundai/Kia come close
Front kidney grill is awesome that’s what makes it stand out of the crowd.
I love them rotten grills
Are you kidding me? that grill sux ballz, lol.
Test drove an i4 M50 on Wednesday at my dealer event. I used to own a Model 3 LR and I can tell you the i4 M50 is leaps and bounds better than the Model 3. I still love Tesla but BMW got this really right.
This video raised a couple questions for me. Why is there such a noticeable hump in the floor? Is that due to the ICE platform that it may be based on? Is the hood secured like the iX?
it’s where the had to put batteries
Yes its based on 3/4 series ICE plattform
Is this more of a competitor to the Mach E GT / Model Y performance since it's a hatchback or is the interior space more model 3 sedan like?
I'd say i4, doesn't have pure EV space but beats the model 3 with the liftback practicality.
model 3 clearly
its not hatchback but liftback
@@ladislavsvencik edited 😁
@@louis3481 it's down to taste for me, burgundy paint and Cognac leather on the i4 suit my taste
I mean he is right about the dedicated platform but to be fair it is cheaper for the customer if it's not a dedicated platform until ev become more and more mainstream. Also carwow did a race where the i4m50 beat the model 3 performance even being 1000 lbs heavier.
Pleace also use the metric system if you want a tumbs up form europe viewers. Otherwice a grate review.
The regen or the cruise control caused the problem?
Good question.
Nice
Tom thx for such a thorough and objective review of its good and bad points.
And for pushing back at the end of it, against the meme based assumption that a dedicated platform is "required" to produce a competent BEV. Hope the Ford Lightneing puts that myth to rest (but I won't hold my breath).And I can't really blame anyone for believing in the myth, since crappy compliance BEVs of the past, made it seem like a dedicated platform was the only option to make descent BEV. So I'm empathetic with that view point.
BTW I wonder why this post makes me want to visit the dentist and get a beaver for a pet ;)
Based on this review, I’d say this is very good evidence *for* the proposition that a dedicated platform is needed, or put it this way *highly desirable*. Why? well look at the efficiency and range vs battery size.
It looks better than the Model 3, the interior is more premium than the Model 3 - yep for me its the beemer all day.
Looks good... $40K more expensive than a Model 3 Performance in Australia.
If this and the Model 3 Performance are roughly the same price surely that makes the BMW a bargain. Similar performance figures, the Tesla has better range but the build quality and interior quality of the two is no comparison. An easy win for BMW
Price is not the same when you want basic features and tech in your BMW as they're sold as optional extras, whereas everything is included as standard when buying a Tesla. BMW will charge you £3000 for this blue paint here in UK, £1350 for the 20" wheels, £500 for carbon trim on dash, £1500 for LED Laser Light, heated steering and keyless entry for £1200, parking cameras and driving assist for £1900, tiny glass sunroof for £1050 etc. So with these techs and features, car already costs £72,505.00. Tesla Model 3 Performance that already comes with all the safety techs, cameras, autopilot, 20 inch wheels, heated seats, glass panorama roof etc only costs £59,990 and you get 1000 free Supercharger miles. BMW is a ripped off in comparison. Price is not even comparable as BMW is poverty speced without adding options. Tesla has longer range, a lot lighter, 3.1 secs 0 to 60 a lot faster. too
@@borinvlogs build quality on Tesla is not on the same level, nor is interior quality. Tesla is cheaper because it is an inferior quality product.
Don’t upset the Tesla boys! 😂
That's simply false given the Tesla Supercharging Network which all Teslas are optimized for.
Plus over the air updates
Plus near full autonomy
Plus the "wham bam Tesla cam"
Tesla simply dominates all of Europe Das Auto at the moment and going forward period at the moment ... and granted this is speculation but certainly might explain why this ahem "AT LAST PROPER OFFERING from BMW" has been rolled out but still costs far less than even a used Tesla Model 3.
"It's the difference between having Transportation and not having Transportation throughout all of Europe at the moment" given the currency collapse, hyperinflation and stupendous shortages ... no thanks to Putin's Russia one must add
Long $tsla Tesla Motors
Strong buy
Be a great car to produce and market in the USA tho!
But of course over here this is Tesla's backyard and the BMW I-3 fucked everyone over over here same as the worthless piece of shit Volkswagen Jetta SOOOOOO...
@@georgedoolittle9015 Come back when you’re sober.
Tesla: Salieri. BMW: Mozart
Boy for this price, if I had to choose between being able to use the level 2 driving system and having the steering wheel where I wanted it, I'd be pretty upset.
You just need to swap that wheel for the Tesla S Plaid yoke!
Glad to see them making a real attempt at adding EVs to their lineup. That's a good sign....the nose is not all that attractive to me either....but this is a start, and there will be plenty of folks who will buy it. Good pricing for it too from the estimates.
you can change the setting of the distance regeneration. Than its very good and if you want to overtake you just have to use the signal and it starts acceleration
Range is King in an EV. BMW has to improve their efficiency. BMW is really nice, great car.
Sounds like a good deal for a bmw
Nice. Wish it was .5 seconds faster on the 0-60 considering this is the M series and not a fan of the way the screens 'sit' on the dashboard - why not incorporate them like a traditional car to give it more of a luxury BMW feel?
What Tesla doesn't understand is hierarchy and price. Where do you go after the Model S plaid? Is the Tesla Roaster going to go from 0 to 60 in 1.5s 😂🤣
It's easy to make EVs go faster but you have to leave space between models so you can upsell. Elon is even promising rocket boosters and resorting to gimmicks to upsell because he broke the ceiling way too soon to spite Porsche 😂🤣 the Plaid is way too fast and cheap for the performance. I don't even think Porsche will make a faster Taycan just improve on range maybe, they are already making a killing at those prices.
@@sexpistill because his goal is not to upsell. As a customer that's what I appreciate the most and I hate when Apple and other auto manufacturers especially German Auto tries to upsell.
@@hiravparekh8695 😂🤣 they don't force anything they just give you different options at different price points they value individuality
What's wrong with a proven 3.6secs to 60mph? They're saving
Funny enough other reviewers already tested it and it’s actually 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. So your wish is granted. BMW always under rates everything they do.
I see there is still a transmission tunnel (13:22). What’s up with that? I assume that means this car is a modification of an existing design and not a ground up EV. Perhaps that’s why they needed to put so much stuff in the front “engine compartment”. Are these assumptions true? Thanks. PS, great review as always.
Yes, that's correct. It uses the CLAR platform that is used by the gas and PHEV versions, so yes, it has a transmission tunnel.
It annoyed me at first however I read that they've stuffed extra batteries in there:
"Making use of all possible space, there’s also an additional section of the battery housed within the centre tunnel in the place usually taken up by the driveshaft on ICE 4 Series models. It's made up of three modules, each with 12 cells."
@@minameaar1 still sux tho
@@foam27 Agreed. Waiting for 2nd or 3rd iteration. Surprised by the results of the drag race on carwow.
@@minameaar1 Agree on the results as well. All E-drags should start off at a 90% SOC, both cars.
M3P is rated at 3.1s 0-60 and the bmw is rated at 3.9s. so wtf?
weird they have used a traditional usb instead of usb-c
It has both. Some packages also give you a further 2 USB C ports in the rear.
Interested to see the track performance next to the model 3P... As that ever smaller % of people who actually track cars the model 3P stock just did not hold up with far too much understeer and lack of feeling then you get with an M2... Straight line was amazing but the turns are the most fun part of the track. Would love to have a trackable performance ev car that felt that way around a track.
its not hatchback but liftback. Thx for the review thought. The interior is obviously as always above Tesla intenterior material quality
Correction: This is not the actual performance version. There will be a 700+ HP M version later.
So in other words in order to compete with the Tesla Model 3 Performance or the Mustang GT they are going to be even MORE uncompetitive. This model priced similarly to those Tesla and Mustang models is extremely uncompetitive. More expensive than both, significantly less range and gives away 0.8 seconds - a lightyear for a supposed performance model! It cannot compete because they are dragging their feet on creating a pure EV platform.
@@philparker1278I'll take this over a gas car any day, though in the US, a LR Tesla and the supercharger network is hard to beat. The thing about Tesla, though, is all the stuff in Berlin will be front, and rear casting, and 4680 cells, and if Tesla chooses to drop a carbon wrapped motor into the Model 3, run for the hills.
@@philparker1278 +1000Lbs more.
@@philparker1278 the mustang GT and Model 3 aren’t luxury vehicles though. For a BMW or a Merc I’d expect to pay more
@@doomsday9973 I have not driven a Mustang so cannot provide an opinion on the Mustang. But I have owned both BMW 3 series, and currently the Tesla Model 3 long range AWD - and in my personal opinion found them equivalent in interiors as far as materials and luxury feel. One thing that stands out believe it or not is the Model 3 has the most comfortable seats of any car I’ve ever driven. I will say I’m really not a fan of the black + wood interior on the tesla model 3 - much prefer the white interior and seats.
Why, in 2021, is BMW not building this on a dedicated EV platform?
I do not know it, but probably it was just way faster to use something they already had. i.e. time to market probably is the reason.
They are building it on the same production line as the 3/4 series ICE in their Munich factory, to be more flexible in production planning and demand fluctuations.
So, smaller tires alone are 15% better consumption already.
Bingo.
Solid door close sound on frameless doors?
It’s heavier because it’s better made. Teslas are like a 90s Kia.
I'm sure that's part of why, but not being a dedicated platform definitely contributes also.
@@StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney they are probably testing the waters to see what demand will be like. Here in the US, anything except for Teslas sits on lots for months, so we can’t fault them for being a tad skeptical.
German cars are generally built much heavier because they have higher crash standards than American cars. You have to remember those cars are designed for you to crash at 150 mph on the Autobahn with a good chance of walking away from it. You can tell it just by opening and closing the doors most of the time. The extra reinforcement beams make them heavy and they have that satisfying thump sound when they close.
@@brdavis that’s true, never thought about that.
@@brdavis that’s true, never thought about that.
5:45... Ugh... says this is $15, $16k more than the model 3 LR and backs it up with a graphic.. yet no mention of the BMW still getting the full $7500 federal tax credit. After credit this is $9400 more than the model 3 LR, and $1405 more than the model 3 performance. It's also a hatchback.
Agreed but by the time this comes out for delivery in US we most likely will have new EV tax credit system with no cap on manufacturer or atleast they will increase limit significantly so tax credit advantage will probably not be there anymore so I guess he didn't feel the need to mention
This is the M performance version though it would have to be compared with the model3 performance price wise not the standard range
the interior and materials are above model 3 thought obviously.
I think the price difference is more than the $15k because the $15k is based on base version. A lot of items on the BMW he drove are add ons including things like heated seats. Many of those same add-ons are included with the M3LR and M3P. One should do a price comparison that includes similar specs from the add-ons
For example:
$500 heated seats
$875 upgraded speakers
$200 wireless phone charger
$1000 adaptive led headlights
$100 drive recorder
Etc
Tesla Fans: That fake motor sound is silly. Also Tesla Fans: We love the brilliant fart sounds in our Tesla!

@@theRappinSpree Where did you find that? Don't know about BMW but Tesla has not made it official. I think even BMW has not. If you can find that for both brands let me know. Also how many times you are trying to get to 200 km/hr 😅
@@hiravparekh8695 your point was the model 3 is faster, my point was you’re wrong, regardless of whether or not it’s legal to do 200km/h. Model 3 does it in 13.6 seconds, i4 M50 in 12.5
I think he missed the point of the engine noise. It's meant for when you're at the track so you can hear what the car is doing without having to look down at the gauge cluster. When I track my cars I almost never look at the actual gauge cluster. I know how fast I'm going by the sound of the engine and the gear. I use that to gauge if I'm coming into a corner too hot. After driving a few Teslas I can appreciate that they added a little sound because of how numb electric cars are as far as feedback is concerned since everything is electronic drive by wire and Tesla especially designs their cars to be Uber quiet.
245 miles on a single charge in Europe is the end of the petrol Station upon that Continent period. Remarkably Tesla still owns the market both there, here in North America and in Europe for pure BEV. Great niche product here for BMW tho absolutely. *"Hardly even know World War 3 is going on!"* merely literally just over those mountains and up that road.
*"All about the Stug Buggies"* there.
My problem would be just Chargers, they need more chargers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll take this over Tesla trash any day.
Reviewers tested the 0-60 and it did 3.4 seconds so I don’t see how you could barely feel that it was faster than 4.3 seconds.
Model 3 Performance is 3.1s.
@@foam27 Carwow just drag raced them both and the i4 M50 took the M3P to Gapplebees soooooooooooo.....

Thx Tom. In my opinion, the front grill is horrible looking 🤮 They ruined it with this mouth grill 🤦🏻♂️The rest of the car looks really nice. Just like Porsche Taycan, this car is built for BMW enthusiasts. I also hear the door frames are hollow & the steering is lose. 🤷🏽
And that big hood is completely useless, right? I know that it is basically the 4 series ICE body, but still, if you look only to the end result, that seems such a big waste.
nope, there a many ICEVs with much shorter hoods... its there to make it look cool....
the "waste" is calling the Model X a SUV with its useless rearend
Oh that grille! At least its effect is minimised by being blacked out. The rest of the car actually looks quite nice, although the shape and size of the nose is undoubedtly governed by its ICE siblings, andlooks slightly out of place on an EV. I think if I was a BMW EV fan I'd wait for a car that has been designed only for an electric powertrain off the drawing board.
EV is batteries on wheels hence Tesla price point delivers.
I like it better than I thought I would. The only thing lacking, IMHO, is more range. Get it up over 300 miles, BMW, and it'll be a real contender. Those kidneys on the front… oh, my. What were the designers thinking? Just shrink 'em down to the i3 size… or at least our Z3's grill.
I wonder how much that giant, ugly grill affects its aerodynamics and range.
Clearly you love your Tesla 🙈
I do, but I'd definitely consider an i4 M50 if I was in the market now and looking to spend $60,000-$70,000 on an electric coupe.
@@StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney But it will be on a market in 2022 and this is first year vehicle production can be with a bugs, and BMW not updated every 2 weeks their software, like a Tesla do.
Nice vehicle, but to heavy and + with options very expensive. Yes it's nice quality inside materials, but it's not a Tesla competitor and I don't think it will be big demand ( like BMW x5 45e).
Just so much more than a Tesla, whatever model. This is a drivers premium car. Tesla is not.
BMW are kidding themselves. They are shooting for a moving target (Tesla). Really bad decision to go with a shared EV/ICE platform. This makes it completely uncompetitive in price, range, and performance with the *current* Teslas. When Tesla comes out with the new version of the Model Y, with the 4680 battery and front and rear castings then they’re really going to be able to turn the screw on the legacy manufacturers.
By the time BMW can come out with a new dedicated EV platform to try to truly compete with Tesla, they’ll already be risking bankruptcy.
Lmao 30+ million cars get sold every year and soon they will all be Teslas
@@sexpistill No but they’ll all be EVs. Exponentials and S curves always catch people out - which is exactly what’s going to happen here. And it is inevitable that some of the legacy manufacturers will go bust as a result. The ones likely to go bye bye are the ones who try to take it slow and avoid going all in on EVs - i.e. the ones who refuse to create dedicated platforms because they *think* they can take their time.
… Which leads us to BMW and the above.
Yes, some legacy manufacturers will survive - I’d put my money on the Korean and Chinese manufacturers, and maybe VW - as these are the manufacturers who seem to recognize the threat.
@@philparker1278 nah none of that will ever happen this is not the cellphone market 😂🤣
Brand loyalty plays a huge role in the auto industry. Also have you considered the African market where Tesla doesn't have a single car but my local Porsche has Taycans already 😂🤣 and here in Africa governments have a lot to deal with EVs are not even top of mind which means gas cars will be sold here beyond 2030

That's heavy
Can't skimp on quality that's why it's solidly built
@@sexpistill Nope. Its heavy because its a shared EV/ICE platform and because their engineering as regards efficiency is sub par.
@@philparker1278 yeah that's why one rattles at 200km/h and the other doesn't.
Tesla battery tech is amazing I agree with you but all the EVs coming out from traditional autos are heavier than Tesla even with dedicated platforms because they don't skimp on quality.
@@sexpistill I do not believe that is the case. Take Lucid as an example - the reason they are able to compete (and possibly even beat) Tesla on efficiency is because of a similar focus on efficiency which of course critically includes weight reduction.
It is not down to somehow skimping on build quality.
I guess it isn't as bad as the BMW iX or EQS/E, but that grille is unnecessary. Also the price is too high, especially if Tesla starts getting tax credits from 2022. It would make the performance of these BMWs look very dated.
The grill is necessary, all the sensors are there.
This is a proper premium car, with a premium comfort and luxury, not a plastic car with parts thrown together and made in China. Quality cost money.
@@paname514 costs alot of money to get walked by a cheaper tesla
@@Gokhanaj Huh, so I guess Tesla just uses an invisible grille to hide all its sensors...
This car is in a total different class as the model 3, the i4 is a premium luxury car, a model 3 is as basic as you can get with cheap materials and lot of road noise.
Are you seriously comparing the quality of a BMW to a Tesla?? Of course a BMW is more expensive and rightfully so.
still...not beat the tesla? lol
No frunk, inefficient, slower, 4 seat only (transmission tunnel) not dedicated charging infrastructure, inferior software and over the air updates, no FSD. Not for me.
You don't have money for that
Neither do I. :)
Slower? Not really - watch the other reviews. In the UK and Europe the charging network is much more established for non Teslas.
Fanbios and their anti EV FUD smh
@@nc3826 Not anti-EV. Anti half assed EV efforts. BMW needs to go all in. They need to create a pure EV platform.
I can believe the fit and finish are premium, but the ridiculously large kidney is ugly in my opinion, and the transmission tunnel (what a waste of space)!!
The dull finish looks terrible.
agree, ghetto wrap look :(
No Frunk? That's a bummer. BMW fit and finish is above tesla but Tesla's simplicity and tech has a lot of value. Loyal BMW customer should and will take a good look at the i4 but Tesla is still quite a lot more advanced. As far as I can see the i4 is just another compliance car. Probably the nicest compliance car but just a compliance car and not a good example of BMW's engineering.
Tesla has only one advantage in the US and UK supercharger network for now.
The lack of right to repair
No model years just update as we go
Increasing prices for less value
Poor quality
No customer service
Gimmicks
Removing software futures from second hand cars
This things might not matter to early adopters and fans but going forward they will.
As for range I find it funny that in the beginning Tesla worked so hard to convince everyone that 250-300 miles is more that enough which is true, now everyone seems to accept it. Which benefits traditional Auto makers who seem to mostly manage that 😂🤣 now Tesla can't use its advantage of longer range properly
@@sexpistill I can see your drinking the ICE/FUD cool-aid. Until you've owned a Tesla you tend to believe this stuff. You have the right to repair, you just don't need it, Why wait a year to update a model. Tesla's hold their value as good or better any any car. The quality is totally fine. I have seen no issues. The customer service is just as good as any. What you call Gimmicks some call vary useful Tech. I have seen no evidence of software removal on used cars. I have been a happy owner of 2 Teslas for three years. No problems. I recently took my Model X in for a 50k service. They gave me a 2020 Mercedes A220 Rental for the day. It was clunky by comparison and the tech was clunky as well. I'll never go back to ICE.

@@bayliner4387 Lmao ohk
@Paul Life You can buy a LCD/dash upgrades on amazon and add them to the M3. They are nice. ;)
Review is 5/5 but the car is 1/5. Over priced 4 Series Gran Coupe with heavy battery pack. So overpriced and still doesn't come with basic features and tech that other EVs have as standard. Big fail...
Lmao
Agree. They are going to regret not creating a pure EV platform. How on earth do they expect to compete… The key thing to create a competitive EV is to keep the weight down. You cannot do that or take full advantage of an EV without creating a pure EV platform and this right here shows it. They’ve had to shove a ton of extra batteries in it to get a piffling range. This of course also means that they cannot afford to sell many and certainly cannot reduce prices - their costs in batteries versus their competitors due to this decision to go with a shared EV/ICE platform dictate that.
Oh, and by the way, to add to my above comment - they are uncompetitive with a brand new vehicle with what Tesla *already* has in the market. They are going to be in a world of hurt when Tesla brings out the next iteration of the Model Y - with 4680 structural batteries and front and rear castings. Just think how much cost savings Tesla will make when that comes out. They will likely be able to release a 400 mile range Model Y with significant performance improvements. BMW, Audi etc are going to be in for a shock
So weighs more than a model 3 and costs more. Likely will be model s money with any options added. Yet is slower, charges slower and goes less distance than either the 3 or model s. Sounds more like a polestar 2 competitor then. 😁
Ferrari fills up slower and goes less distance than a Kia but it's way more expensive. i4i s a better car than any Tesla ever released with better handling, better fit & finish, better materials, better comfort, more options, better breaks, better ergonomics, better seats. Tesla can't complete with BMW in building a car. They can only compete in battery tech.
This is a proper premium car, with a premium comfort and luxury, not a plastic car with parts thrown together. Quality cost money.
It’s not always about faster and further. Some people want to drive a car that is stylish and individual.
@@Gokhanaj that was quite amusing to read. I've owned a loaded BMW 3 series and it doesn't compare to a tesla model 3 imo.
@@Gokhanaj I'd buy it just for color options
There seems to be some uncharacteristically boneheaded engineering decisions in this vehicle. It's probably a fun car to drive but a terrible vehicle to own.
Nope, you are seeming wrong. But have fun with your Tesla though.
@@anoniem9518 I'm guessing this was supposed to be an insult. Love how me pointing out that this vehicle has poor design decisions means that I hate all EVs except Teslas.
Methinks thou dost project too much!
