I stand by my statement of RIP BMW, they aren't going to be able to replicate their "Ultimate Driving Machine" experience with electric. BMW will lose its sporty appeal and will just become a luxury car maker like MB has become.

Funny enough Toyota has been dragging their feet getting into EV's. Besides their pathetic attempt with Subaru, the bZ4X. Toyota has the most patents in the solid state battery space. They have the first test vehicle running solely on solid state batteries. Toyota knows it would be wasting money right now go full steam with current battery tech. They are thinking ahead, while media tries to attack them for being late to EV party.
