I'm excited for the rumored 750hp all electric next generation BMW i8. I hope it gets the green light.
Tesla has done a great job thus far, but they need to work on their interior design layout, materials and then they will be considered a threat to BMW in my book.

The mass market in the US is quite oblivious to those things, as long as you can claim a big HP number. Which is one of the reasons why the so-called "muscle cars" never had much appeal elsewhere. Too one-dimensional. Tesla, in my view, has been targeting mostly the US market, which is why build quality, interior design, etc. leave much to be desired. If they change that, their appeal outside the US, and with some US buyers, will increase, but most of their home market wouldn't understand. Especially if it comes with a higher price tag. And since with the Model X and the Model 3, they're moving down rathe than up in terms of customer segments, it will only get worse. |
