All I gotta say is I'm a massive fan, I put my savings into tesla when I was 18 and I have made an ungodly amount of money off it. The man's company made me dirty rich so imma support him. My kids love me and they are turning out great so I don't think I need to worry about it.

God bless to you either way Florida man. Also don’t you own a Tesla? How’s that treating u? I’m considering leasing a model Y

I have Never touched a model y but compared to model 3, Quality of BMW's EVs feels lot better in every possible way seats, interior, driving blaa blaa. Plus it's a german car and that's what gentlemen drive.

100% on the feel and fit and finish.

Agree. But the bmw’s are slow as fuck, get shit range compared to the Tesla, what you pay is far more but you’re getting far less performance and charging capabilities. If you want a bmw get an ice version. If you want an ev get a Tesla. The bmw ev’s do not drive any better than the Tesla. Driving wise they’re both silent ev’s. I have a performance model so there is no bmw that even comes close performance wise. Unless it’s a competition version the m3 and m4 are both slower than my Y. The reality is in the states unless you’re stepping up to a taycan turbo or an e tron gt there are no better ev’s than teslas. But that’s a big price jump from my Y performance.

M50 models should be fast enough. Range is the biggest issue with them. Wouldn't take it to the arctic circle, might not take the tesla eihter since we have an usable ice car again. Charging capabilities are the same. Superchargers work with other brands(should be as fast too). I would buy a bmw over tesla anyday of the week if I would not have to drive across the country few times per winter. I don't have worry about that in a while tho, I will be driving clapped volvos or subies in few years.

An i4 m50 here in the states is 70k for the base model the i4 m50 top model is 82k. My model y performance was 60k which is the top model.

you’re also comparing a small 4 door car to my 4 door mid size suv. Not the same class. If you want to compare the i4 then that would be compared to the model 3. The top model 3 performance is 52k. And Smokes the m50.

the comparable model to my Y would be the IX which is 90k here in the states for the base model with the top model passing 100k. So that’s 30-40k more than my top model y. At that price you’re into the S/X models which again smoke the BMW.

At the moment only a few cars can use super chargers other than teslas. BMW’s are not one of them yet. They’re supposed to gain access this year around Q4 but the current delivery models still do not have the Tesla charging ports. Currently it’s only ford, Rivian that have super charger access.

so charging capabilities are not the same. Not even close. The charging infrastructure here in the states is hot garbage. Most “standard charging banks may have a handful of chargers, and you’re lucky if a few work. Tesla banks will usually have 10-20+ depending on the locations. Super chargers dominate the US by a huge margin.

it’s easy to say “you’d buy a bmw all day” when you have zero clue how much the cost or price differences are, especially when you aren’t paying. I’m paying just over $500 a month and that was with zero down. The IX lease program was 6k down and an $899 payment for the base model, with the top model being $1200 a month.

im not saying Teslas are the best cars period. They aren’t. Not even close. But when it comes to the best bang for your buck in the Ev world they can’t be beat. That’s just a fact. The model y has been the highest selling vehicle in the world for a while now for a reason. Performance/value can’t be matched by any other vehicles. if they were the same price and performance values I’d be with you all day. I’d take the BMW, but they aren’t. Not even close.

I think we have EU laws or something simular that say you have to be able to charge every EV at every station. Our superchargers are full of hyundais, Mercedes, bmws etc. In fact EVs would be unusable in the north without this.

I know how much they are paying for shit. You know you can talk financial stuff with your parents . I know there is a +10-15k price diffrence with the comparable model (IX2) . And there definitely is a reason why the other one chose to buy slower but higher quality one even though it was a downgrade from previous car. And the other one bought a tesla because it was only thing you could drive straight out of the dealership.

Just enforces my theory that all Tesla owners are douchebags who try to over justify their stupid EV purchase.

Prob upset a 20 year old toyota will outlast their 60k pile of plastic
 
Flexing Soo hard on Tesla owners in my Colorado with a timing belt that's gonna explode that I still owe $16k on

3lbs of street taco meat is without a doubt the best broke person food ever. With some tortillas + cheap rice at the store and some cheap veggies like peppers and onion.
 
so my mom visited my grandparents in the netherlands and she brought back some ol k2 rollerblades that just so happen to be in my size. I never told my parents i was interested in rollerblading but i guess there is only one course of action

I can thank the model Y for purchase of my RS3. Test drive one early 2021, MYp was $55k with no tax credit. When I realized it was nearly the starting price of a RS3 I made up my mind right there in the Tesla parking lot that I’d get a cheaper ID.4 and put that $$ for a RS3 (in hind sight, I should have bought the Tesla and resold it when my ID.4 arrived nearly a year later). I don’t get what the fuss about acceleration on EVs is about, our ID.4 is 5.5 second 0-60 you already smoke everyone off the line who’s not expecting it, it’s just extra tire wear which $$ saving minded people aren’t into, you lose so much range driving fast on the highway especially if you got ski fever trying to rip through the mountains that costs you a charging stop

sounds like you did lots of cross shopping though, I’d love a 400 mile range Taycan sport turismo but that’s hella money. It’s crazy EV lease deals these days though they’re just giving them away. And you aren’t locked into old dated technology and range

The new macan ev is also really nice. But same story. They’re asking so much for them currently. The taycan turismo is so fucking nice. Really loving the new m5 wagon that just dropped. I’ve always been a wagon guy.

I think the m3 wagon looks better than the m5 wagon. I like the grill. Neither of them beats the RS6.

M3 wagon isn’t sold In the states, but i still prefer the m5 wagon more. Rs6 was my fav until the new m5. Ice wise. I’d take the taycan turismo over all of them.
 
The one BMW EV driver i met was the most insufferable woman I've ever met. One insane romanian woman at a rural idaho charging station ruined the entire product line for me.

Old professor of mine got an M3 wagon stateside by ordering one in Germany, flying out to Munich and taking her husband on a roadtrip down to Naples. Brought it back to the factory and had it shipped to the US as a used car with 1500 miles on it.

Ended up being cheaper than a new M3 sedan here.

That’s interesting. Typically you cannot import a car that’s not sold in the us until it’s over 25 years old. There’s a few exceptions like when the same motor and chassis is already and approved for sale in the us and has gone through similar safety tests, but then you usually pay extremely high import rates on top of the vehicle. I’d be very surprised if they paid less overall. That’s why you don’t see this happening on any regular basis.
 
This is a real thing. Google "European Car Delivery Program". Most of the German car companies will do it and give a few percent discount off the price you'd pay in the US.

I know it’s a very real thing. My step father did this with his Porsche 911 turbo S. The difference is that car is offered for sale in the states already. So you’re just taking European delivery. That is very different than a car that is not legally sold in the US. Which is what we’re talking about. You cannot just take delivery of a car not sold in the us and just bring it over. Google importing a car that’s NOT sold in the us. You’ll see the laws and restrictions are very different. It’s the same reason you don’t see tons of skylines being imported until they are past the 25 year old point.
