Don't underestimate the stupidity of the average American. Also, what will keep them from gassing up while on a trip instead of stopping at a DCFC? I guarantee you, most people who would buy such an abomination will run it like a gas car. People are dumb.
Those are penis-mobiles that are bought to satisfy ego and compensate for a size issue below the waist. Those buys are not about range anxiety in the slightest.
We also have monumentally efficient vehicles like Lucid and Tesla that get 3-4 mi/kWh or higher. Gasoline has no place in an EV. Period. Anybody who wants that should just buy a gas car and be happy. I am not a fan of a half-assed, all-of-the-above chickenshit strategy. That's the attitude that prevented companies like BMW from going all-in on EVs for decades. It took an all-in strategy by Tesla to push everyone else out of their complacency.
Oliver Zipse is a chickenshit coward who can't commit to the future. BMW's vision of the future is one of compromise and fear. Their future model line reflects this.

I’m sure you are a good person who means well, but my God I find your thoughts on your fellow ‘man’ to be incredibly depressing.
I’m just so glad that BMW has chosen a differing path forward, and I believe that the existence of REx’s could well drive us towards a greater % of pure EVs on the road much quicker.
