BMW has made no secret that these are no bespoke chassis for BEV. They will get to that, but I the meantime they still need to make money.

Tesla didn't start as an ICE car manufacturer so it has no transition to make. The 3/4 platform for BMW is a cash cow. You don't take your cow to slaughter unless you have another cow to milk.
When did the i3 and i8 come out? And what has BMW done with all that knowledge and tech? Not much, yet. I guess the iX is the first car of the next generation on.
