I’ve used it, and it’s robust, but comparing it to duct tape is an apples to oranges comparison. Who repairs water pipes with duct tape?

Didn’t BMW just come out with ads knocking on Tesla? Aren’t they now following in Tesla’s wake? Here’s to hoping the i8 can keep its curb weight down though.

You raise a good point. This car is actually motorcycle priced, which is astounding.

Dude, you’ve already lost this debate, and everybody knows this. Now just fade away quietly like everyone wants you to. Lol, wow, what a joke.

Next to nothing yet still significantly more than you. Simply amazing...

I can’t wait to put a bigger gas tank in my car to make it so much faster. I’m astounded that you still don’t realize that the Model S has different size motors between trim levels. You are doing BMW no favors, although you are typifying the average BMW owner, so good for you!

lulz, “European sales”.

Or it’s programmed that way with consideration for both range and power and marketing reasons. But what do I know.

That must be why so many PHEV vehicles get 370,000 reservations when they’re announced. Amazing...

And I don’t think you realize that most companies can protect themselves by implementing only soft countermeasures. Put on a needless sticker that tells the user the obviously dangerous thing is dangerous. Your ass is now covered! The user isn’t any safer, but at least your ass is now covered.

Now you actually understand, instead of making a general and inaccurate statement. There are obviously other factors at play, such as aero drag and parasitic loss, but you’re basically correct. A good example word be to compare Nissan leaf to a zero bike. According to our resident BMW dealer, the Leaf should be able…

Sure, let’s just make millions of new airbag inflators materialize for you, precious little snowflake. Manufacturing takes time. Deal with it.

Gasoline? I don’t want a car with 2 power sources to manage. I’m flabbergasted at just how badly you don’t get it.

By your logic, motorcycles should top out at a walking pace, and semi tractors should all be able to break the sound barrier. Fuel capacity, whether liquid or electric, has nothing to do with a vehicles maximum speed. I don’t think I have ever seen somebody be so wrong about something they try to portray themselves as…

So which BMW dealer do you work for?

I stopped reading at “smaller battery = slower car”. You must be an electrical engineer.

You’re basically admitting that you’re too stupid or stubborn to follow simple owners manual directions. Congrats?

No nothing? How about GASOLINE?

An i3 couldn’t even get me to work and back. Half assed garbage.
