BMW has made an effort to make the construction of an iX 45% less carbon emissions than a regular X5. It’s also getting me 3 and up mi/kwh in anything but freezing temps. It’s a super efficient car compared to its ICE counterpart.

Telling people to keep waiting for battery tech years and years from now, those same people will be saying that in 8 more years. There are some really great regular EVs out now and there are going to be some great EV sports cars coming soon. Time for people to embrace that.
Tell that to the thousands and thousands of 8, 9, and 10 year olds mining Cobalt in Africa in deplorable conditions. Shame on all of us.
