Take some time to read a few EV forums. The Tesla network sounds great until non Tesla EV'ers find out the cables on Tesla chargers are too short to reach, because all Tesla EV have the charge port on the left-rear corner, where as most other EVs don't.

Makes me laugh when BMW was pushing that shocking network at launch (in the U.K. I’d add)… what was it Ionity?
Great charge speed but about 4 chargers within 300 mile radius of me. Handy 150 mile diversion to use them. Absolute joke so yes in the Us it totally makes sense to adopt the Tesla / NACS but really no option other than to follow suit for BMW and others.

As well now all these people that can use the chargers they've had exclusive access to will crowd them a bit now. Kind of like when I had the grandfathered unlimited data package through Verizon and then they slowly whitled that away. Thought I was the cool guy on the block till they took it away lol.

I personally think the i4, i5, i7 trio are the best non-Tesla EVs currently on sale. The MB is an abomination, Audi SW is junk, Taycan interior is a mess with functions randomly assigned to the multiple screens. I think BMW is really getting their costs under control with i8/9 across all their models, and giving into Android and NACS. Porsche, MB, VWAG have their SW and displays in total disarray. And the BMW cars have by far the best dynamics (driving). I actually think BMW maybe the single best positioned legacy automaker making the EV transition. They just need customers to want to buy them small detail

I agree that the iX is ugly. I love the i5 and I actually love the headlights in the i7. The i4 was too cheap looking inside for me.

Iirc Tesla got paid millions in tax credits or federal subsidies to allow this.

Tesla isn’t allowing use of all its chargers, I read 10-20%. I’m a huge fan, love my Model S Plaid, my M5 sits idle now. Still like the car but the Plaid is so much better, faster, smoother, economical, fun…..

As Americans we should all be proud of Tesla. It’s the most American car company after all. Why the dislike for Musk and EV? Because it’s something else to challenge, be against so why not? Drive one for a week and see how you feel.
