    BMW brought the i3 and i8 to market in 2014 and squandered their lead in EVs for the next decade. They’re crying now because they didn’t follow through then.

      As an i3 owner it’s simply wild to me how BMW has squandered their massive lead in EV design. It’s still a better car than most new EV’s out there in many ways (it only weighs about 1.3 tons for example!). And every BMW EV since then has been a massive step back, although the newer generations coming next year might finally be a step in the right direction.
