People will say Taycan, but you need to spend $140k to beat it.

The BIGGEST issue with EVs today for us enthusiasts, is that we really don't have a lot of options if you don't want an SUV type vehicle:
Tesla M3P, S: Have their own issues, spend $100k+ on the S or get the M3P and don't have a dedicated screen for the driver. Fit/finish, etc. Spartan Ikea type interior.
Audi E-Tron GT/Taycan Twins: If you want dual motor you're at $110k+, otherwise they're great.
Lucid: More of a grand tourer/cruiser, unknown future
The i4 is one of the few enthusiast electric choices that's well south of $100k.
I don't see the market changing because we're a small piece of the pie, and the market demands SUVs. It's probably also why the iX is on a dedicated platform and the i4 is shared for now. Hopefully we continue to get more enthusiast options in the market.
