This is a tricky balance.
The VW scandal pushed the switch to EV a few years earlier. The politicians wants EV, but the markets is hesitant. Meanwhile the oil is cheap nowadays.
In this mix you also have the autonomous cars coming along, making the car industri very complex and fast changing.
One really need to look a bit farther than a year or three, if BMW are shortsighted at this stage, the train will leave the station.
The hybrid is just a stopgap, the solution is EV with 500 km range.

Tesla are VERY hyped, looking at the numbers more than the Musk hype, it´s hard to take them serious.
They´ve never fulfilled earlier promises, so with model 3, they have a huge problem fulfilling their contracts.
They also have money issues, buying Solar was also a bold move.
Musk want so much so fast, but i can´t see Tesla being anything more than a dent in the industri at this stage. The Germans are coming along and they have the resources, the factories and the money to make it happen.
Let´s see if BMW will join the rest, they need to make a move, and make it fast.
