The range and 0-60 times are pathetic compared to Teslas.
I still don't understand why i8 is not equipped with long range batteries and 0-60 times < 3 seconds.

Price was the main reason I picked mine up recently. There’s currently $9000 in incentives on these babies right now, not including OL or the state and local rebates that any EV will get as well. Great value for money.
I will add that although it came down to a financial decision, the i3 is an excellent little thing and has really grown on me. CFRP construction is cool, bicycle-like U-turns are cool too. Pretty roomy and the connected app is useful. The performance numbers feel somewhat misleading to me, as this piggy is a real weapon from 5-55. It’s not in the same league as a Tesla but quick enough to dust most cars that aren’t modern and turbocharged.
There’s no denying it’s ugly. The i3S goes some way to make it look less goofy, and black helps to hide some of the flaws... but yeah it is what it is
