As of right now, Tesla is still a SW learning how to build cars, while BMW is a car company that is catching up (very fast) on SW.
And because of Tesla's SW focus, it does not focus enough on the basics.
E.g. while BMW and others are conservative with battery safety structures without battery as part of chassis, Telsa will double down by removing the "skateboard", and bolt on front and rear subframes to the battery pack, at a time their battery chemistry still allows thermal runaways.
I did have a Model 3 on order, but Tesla had no car for me, so I bought a G20 instead. In hindsight, that appears to be the right choice to sidestep Tesla for now.
