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.
The build quality is on a too low level. There was a car review of the Tesla Model 3 where the water came in through the doors during a car wash, the water came in the trunk during rain, among other basic things that went wrong. The ergonomics aren't great either. Tesla basically just get too many basic things wrong, BMW doesn't.
That's a very uncommon bad example, I have seen Tesla build quality improved over the cycle
