Cd = 0.25 and big ass tires are the major reasons why M50's range will never get close to Model 3's with the same battery size.

Though people looking for bling and badges will happily trade the functionality.
But what about all the other engineering added to the BMW? I read the press release and although I also wished the range was better, I don't think Teslas provide the same level of ride comfort, attention to sustainability, and overall quality as BMW does.

The suspension even includes self-regulating air-suspension in the back axel, adaptive suspension, you get adaptive laser lights, a glass roof that you can actually open, etc. I'm not a Tesla hater, but I truly believe BMW's are in a different league, even with their lesser range, which, honestly, will be unnoticeable if you can take advantage of the 200kW charging capabilities of the car.
