It is headed by the other lady in the video Ginny, and Nicki is one of the associate editors.

Their reviews of Tesla are not bad, so it may be the case that i4 is an improvement over Tesla.

Is it normal for Tesla headlights to flash intermittently while charging?

No, car was probably in sentry mode where it flashes headlights when it detects movement. HAL9000 appears on the screen.

It's weird because my partner charges his car at the station and the lights always flash occasionally.

Turns out their A++ rating is a little over exuberant.

Bjorn did a 56mph range test. 239 miles. Fits it neatly with cars they have rated much lower on their charts.

For example the Audi etron GT, posts a consumption of 3 miles per kWh. Exactly the same as the efficiency of the i4 M50. The Audi charges faster, which is apparently part of their top secret algorithm, yet Etron GT scores a miserly B and the BMW an A++ Yeah, sure!!!!

Maybe eTron is a SUV that does not handle as well as i4 sedan? :dunno:

This thread is about an edrive40 and he's using an M50 as his rebuttal, go figure?

On miles/kWh alone i4 M40(4.53 miles) does beat eTron GT(3.01 miles) handily to justify A++ vs. B ratings.

Once a troll….

It should also be noted that Bjorn’s tests were done in poor winter weather.

You are clueless. Did you see the weather conditions during his tests? Do you know that cold winter temps adversely affect both batteries & ICE vehicles? Do you know the tested car was the lower efficiency M50 and not the better range e40?

Troll much?
