Don't get me wrong Tesla has a great product but there is a good chance that BMW with its heritage and $$$ behind it, will bring electric cars that are just as good if not better. Let's face it, model S is hideous

It's a electrical honda Accord. The i8 is light years ahead in design
Yes I would actually. I would take a usable 4 seat Telsa P85 over the i8 and save about $40k. The fact the Telsa is 100% electric makes it more attractive.

i8 is a cool car. But when it comes to a sports car, I would still rather have a full petrol powered car.

Basically Chris comes to conclusion the i8 is just o.k. as a sports car and basically a look at me city electric car. It is a good start for BMW, but will only get better with next generations.
