And yes, none of these cars have frunk.
Remember one of the selling points of Tesla s was you can throw your bike in the trunk? That's not gonna happen in these BMWs.
Changing the weight on front wheels is not a good idea. Tesla designers aren't "car designers" so they're not aware of this fact.
Exactly why a Porsche sucks to drive. You put too much weight in the front trunk and the balance is off.
Porsche designers are not car designers so they're not aware of this fact.
Then probably you don't need to be a car designer to make a great handling car, I hate to say this but my 50k Tesla 3 is more fun than my "well balanced " m5 on a twisty road.
