I’ve owned three BMW 3-Series sedans in a row. I was very very tempted by Tesla, until I actually drove one.
It feels like a Honda Civic. Like a cheap downmarket economy car. Sure it has acceleration but so does a BMW more than you’ll ever need too. The experience is obviously disappointing if you’re used to German luxury cars.
The point being, that if the German luxury brands get the hang of the electric thing Tesla’s going to be in severe danger.

Of course.
I think that what is frustrating and annoying to many people is that BMW, VW, Mercedes, et al., could have done the same as Tesla and done it better but they didn't. And the only rational conclusion is that they behaved that way because they were scared that they would cannibalize their existing product lines and because a number of high ranking people in the car business would have found themselves to be irrelevant and quite likely unemployed.
They have only themselves to blame for their short sighted, self serving, polluting, cheating behaviour.
