BMW Has Had Enough With Tesla! All Electric 3-Series To Debut THIS September

Four years have passed since and BMW didn't follow the i3 with any new electric vehicle. What's more, it even said it would prioritize the development of self-driving technology over electric powertrains, which meant the wait could last even longer.

At one point, BMW said it would add another model to its 'i' range, the third, and it would come in the shape of a crossover - the undecided body style that Jaguar too is using for its first EV, the I-PACE. It was supposed to get the i5 moniker, but the company eventually pulled the plug on the project.

Look forward to a few reviews. Glad someone is finally competing directly with Tesla! As VW/Audi, Mercedes, Porsche and others jump into this it can only mean better electric cars going forward. On the other hand I guess the US is subsidizing the building of coal,powered cars, after all we still heavily subsidize oil.

Now you went a did it, triggered Bat shit Bob the bigot once again. That snowflake sits in from of his complete all day long in his piss stained underwear coping and pasting articles from fake news sites. Low IQ, too stupid to think, all Bob knows is that it's anti-liberal, so it must be the truth. Bob is the poster child for what is wrong with America today - - - old, fat white, uneducated piece of Republican white trash that thinks the world should revolve around their views. The world has moved on, Bob is stuck in the twilight zone.

Competition is good. Let's see how actual sales stack up. For example, Audi has been talking EVs for many years, and recently resorted to trash-talking Tesla, and they have yet to deliver their first production EV.

I do think the Germans can easily out-engineer Tesla, but the question is cost. The Audi "Model S" will likely cost at least 25% more because Germans never pay attention to cost.

Really?! Not equipping the VW diesels with DEF/AdBlue has nothing to do with cost-cutting? What about not investing in vehicle electrification?

Really hope they have learned a lesson.
