Making progress for sure but EVs are just not there yet. We're still a ways out. I admire companies for trying but it seems like we're shifting everything to EV and it's insanely premature but to each their own.

Just depends on your use case. Average household has 2 cars and 300 mile range is more than sufficient to be 1 of those 2 cars for most households.
The i4 specifically isn't particularly impressive. But again, it will still work for many people.
The main reason people are shifting so quickly is that the costs are continuing to drop consistently. We're at the point where total cost of ownership is pretty comparable between ICE and EV (once you factor in fuel and maintenance savings). In a few years, ICE will be be price premium. That's when adoption will start to really take off.
