That I agree with. And I think BMW of the 3 had the best strategy when it came to EV’s. Mercedes-Benz pretty much forced their dealer network with the EQs but the product wasn’t that good. Audi went in with the etron GT at $100k+ and they’re suffering too.

BMW was smart to diversify their line up while still primarily being ICE-focused when everyone was saying they were so behind the EV game. I guess they really knew what they were doing.
