When are you going fully electric?

And how exactly do you think that causes the brakes to overheat?

Like I said, I think you're confusing DCC with ESP (or XDS) which would use the brakes for stability / handling.
 
Picked up an ID.3 last week. 58kwh pro performance with basic alloys.

Already have a facelift Model 3 performance as our other EV and have to say I am impressed with it. The ID3 is plenty fast enough, smooth and has a solid feel to it, and deceivingly lots of room inside for what is essentially a hatchback.

I can't see a really good reason why you'd get one over the M3P to be honest at that price.

I can't see why you'd pay £60k for the M3P over the M3 LR with the Performance upgrade for £52k.

In terms of going for the BMW i4 over the TM3.
  • If you don't need to use public chargers then one of the large benefits of going for a Tesla isn't required.
  • Most reviews of the TM3 conclude that the interior materials and quality isn't in line with the cost of the car - BMW/Audi/Mercedes definitely improve in this area.
  • The look of the TM3 isn't to everyone's taste - it's very jelly mold

Build quality, looks, not having stupid controls and driver readouts. Honestly, nothing puts me off the Model 3 more than the lack of driver binnacle. Also, do BMW do the terrifyingly stupid over-the-air updates that Tesla does?

What? Why?
OTA updates are only going to become more popular with other manufacturers into the future. It also means issues can be fixed without having to take a day out to visit a dealer.

Presumably you'd ban any car from any manufacturer awaiting a safety recall that needs dealer attention from driving on the roads also?

Or do you just not like Tesla?

Well lets thank the powers that be that you don't have any control on the vehicles that come on to our roads, or we'd all be in Flinstone's mobiles. :p

You might want to tell us all what is so alarming in that article, rather than just link an entire page about a car from over 3-years ago, that had an update that improved it.

Yes, because putting a massive security hole into cars is necessary to stop them being flintstones!?

I figured on a computer forum that would be obvious. One day someone will hack that and kill people.
