Also, 8 years, 100 miles warranty. Lol. Perhaps the ad agency actually believed or felt that was right.
The battery IS warranted for that timeframe. Guaranteed to hold at least 70% of the original charge.

Yes Sir he is. He made several disparaging remarks about the winter Olympics being "too white" and not real sports just to make whites feel good. Of course he didn't say the same that the NBA is too black, of course this didn't stop him from marrying a white female nor making his living of off white demographics.

Interesting.

Sounds like he's running quite the dog and pony show.

Given tone of the the comments posted, perhaps the ad agency should have tested the spot on this forum before going live.

I was at my local dealer this week for service and finally for the 1st time sat in the i3 they had in the showroom (while waiting for my car). My review - the car looks cheap in terms of finish and features. It also has some cool details. So it is a mix of cheap and expensive. The price tag of $40K+ just doesn't make sense. People who can put over $40K for a toy (electric car can be a second car but not primary) can just do that with Tesla. While Model S is more money, Tesla does provide much better and reasonable/usable package.
Of course, those that cannot afford Tesla will get Prius.
BMW is in the middle between Prius and Model S. While I liked BMW i3 carbon fiber tech and other renovations, if I had to get a car that uses less/none gas, it will be Prius (Tesla is just too much $$$ for me)

sorry.
