BMW got the brakes and tyre width very wrong on i8, with an excessive focus on efficiency.
I drove that max speed only once on the Baltic Sea Autobahn which is not as crowded like f.e. the one from Munich to Berlin or Stuttgart to Frankfurt.

On this occasion I also experienced that with a conservative early breaking strategy you can gain a lot of energy thanks to regen effect. However I never ran out of electrical power during the whole section (~100 Mi), despite the high speed and the excessive use of E-Boost.
