I have read/heard from Tesla owners that the car's performance starts to suffer as the range decreases and/or if the car is subject to repeated hard accelerations. However, those who've driven the Porsche Taycan will tell you it will still drive like a Porsche from full charge to empty.
I have faith that BMW will not disappoint in this regard. We shall see, but the Germans tend to be conservative with their ratings and specs, whereas I feel like Tesla might be a bit misleading when you only look at their 0-60 times and range specs without also considering how the car performs through the entire battery charge cycle. I personally don't like the concept of eeking out the claimed mileage range by holding back performance to do it.
As for the i4 trims, the eDrive40 seems like a far better proposition. 335hp with instant torque and RWD seems like a blast, not to mention more affordable with significantly better range. That's the one I'd buy if I were in the market.
