One of my major beef is lack of public charging infrastructure unlike Tesla superchargers. I've had average experience with public charging with Electrifying America. But home charging is really good, especially since I get discounted charging rates from 12 midnight to 6am.

And one of the other things that concern me is the glasstop roof. I've had a small rock bounce off it and I literally thought it was gonna shatter. It was fine afterwards but now I'm treating the IX like a mall queen.
You make a good point With the charging infrastructure. Keep in mind, Tesla will be opening up their network to all manufacturers, including BMW by 2025.
