LOL,...Hopefully it'll have "Boeing 747" like Thrust!

So the overall number of EV's sold is growing significantly as well as becoming a larger percentage of the total number of vehicles sold. So EV's are sales are growing faster than the overall vehicle market. Another side note, EV sales were 12.5% of BMW's total vehicle sales which leads ALL traditional manufacturers in the US. All of the German brands were over 10% EV's in the US. This is excluding the pure EV brands obviously. |

Seriously, most of these fast EVs are very luxurious, effortless, with every creature comfort while achieving 80mpge+. And you don't think a fast Nurburgring lap time is good enough for your daily driver? How about if we made your car put out upwards of 1100HP, it might not last a 30 minute session as well. A fast Nurburgring lap capable car will do fine in 99% of your street driving scenarios.

It's honestly crazy how many people are stumbling in here so desperately trying to knock EVs - like guys it's okay if you like your ICE's, it's not a knock against your ego, I have an iX M60 and an i4 M50 and my E60 550i is still parked outside. But EVs are just in another world, especially performance ones.
If they actually sell this i4M with 1k+ hp, I will do literally anything it takes to buy one. |

I hope they wait until solid state batteries are introduced so they can offer the same range but reduce the amount of batteries required and in to the overall weight.

What matters is total numbers, which will continue increasing as more models come out, tech gets better, charging infrastructure improves.

Once i3? Full electric platform comes out hopefully that will cut some weight out too. Just don’t know where all these old batteries are going to go when all cars are electric. Can recycle them and they take a million years to decompose. Maybe musk plans to shoot them into space and charge everyone for that. |

Wow, great looking car! I can finally say I even like the beaver tooth grille. Then again, it appears they did tweak the design some. I'd buy one.

A Nurburgring time for an EV is an utter irrelevance because nobody wants to do just one lap. When they build an EV which can run 30 min sessions, I’ll be all over it.

Electric vehicles should only be tested in the harshest conditions and in cold. That way they can really advertise how these vehicles can do in cold weather.
