Except for the plug for the drag race at the very end of the video, which for some reason felt alright in the context, it was completely free of redirects and that is a huge improvement and I want to applaud that. Amazing comparison and video Mat!

Matt seemed extra critical of the BMW here. For example, Why is the Hans Zimmer noise in the BMW silly and pointless but the fart sounds in the Tesla are cool? What's so terrible about the recharging cover? I don't mind the long hood at all, seeing a powerful-looking hood In front of you feels good in a sporty car. Only problem I have is they should have use it for storage. Some of the features Matt mentioned on the Tesla as if they're exclusive are also in the BMW like the dashcam that records footage. I much prefer the infotainment layout in the BMW. And finally, stop guessing the range on the cars. Drive them and find out or don't bother commenting on it.

Fantastic handling, great visibility from the cockpit, practicality, enormous range, loads and loads of techs that are constantly evolving from OTA software updates.

The reason you're getting so much slip in the m50 is because it's cold out and you have the high performance wheel package on the car... aka high performance summer tires. They effectively turn to plastic in cold weather. I imagine that would also have a nasty impact on handling as well. If you wanted to get better traction in colder weather, namely during your 0-60 run, you'd need an all season or winter tire with a tire compound that stays softer in colder temps.

Wooow, incredible video!!! New sub, excellent reviews

The suspension set up in the Model 3 Performance is quite poor, didn't realised it until I was rear passenger in one. Normally when driving in the driver's seat it's already a bit underdamped with far too stiff anti roll bars to try to mitigate the bodyroll, which is the wrong way as stiffer dampers would simply solve that without resorting to using stiff anti rollbars. This issue really exacerbates itself when I was sitting in the back feeling car sick, cause the dampers can't keep up with the fast steering ratio.

The test based the range efficiency only on the miles covered so far by each car. Problem is we don't know how each car was driven, i.e. hard acceleration, motorway driving etc and over what distances. The fair way to compare their ranges is to drive the two cars over the same distance, route and conditions.

I hate to say as I am a car guy thru and thru but I absolutely love my LR and have not missed my m235 since the day I handed Tesla the keys. M235 had KW coilovers, brakes, intake, intercooler and tune. The LR is just as quick if not quicker especially in mid range, except for over 100mph. Handles and brakes as well stock for stock but I will mod the suspension and brakes because I just always do. I struggle most days to grab the E46 keys. The Tesla really is that good.

Correction, you can change the amount of regenerative braking. Also pro tip, regarding hands on the steering wheel detection, I blip the volume rocker up and down one tick rather than jerking the steering wheel back-and-forth. I found this way better. I have owned the model three performance for a couple of years and just love it. Tight handling on twisty roads combined with 0 to 60 of 3.1 seconds make it a fantastic car to drive. Agree with all the other pros and cons of this review.

Regardless of how far each car can actually go on a single charge once you go beyond that range the Tesla is the car to have, hands down, no contest. Ionity might be a joint charging network with BMW, VAG, Ford, Mercedes, Hyundai but they only have 15 locations in the UK. Along the west coast M1/M6 corridor there isn't a charger between Milton Keynes and Gretna Green making London to the Lake District and back impossible using only the Ionity network.

I have a 4 year old 80,000 km Model 3 performance on 18 inch wheels and Pirelli 4S. Most of its life is spent on autosteer on motorways but, rarely, I have a trip on an empty twisty drivers' road. The M3P is a real point to point weapon . Not brilliant on a track near the limit, but great on roads. It's extremely comfortable, very quiet, has a low centre of gravity, excellent traction and good handling. The lift-off regen braking is very well calibrated and tucks the nose in going into bends. The traction and torque coming out of bends is superb. Like most electric cars it excels going up hills. Rarely get the opportunity but this is a very good driver's car.

I own a Model 3 Long Range and tried an i4 yesterday. The i4 has a lot of great things going on: The exterior and (if you don’t like the ‘futuristic’ interior in the Model 3) the interior. But the whole driving experience in much tighter in the M3. And I love the feeling of not being in a ‘regular’ car. Maybe the next car will be a BMW.

However, the i4 M50 seems to be generally superior at higher speeds. There are videos of the i4 M50 doing 100-200 km/h in about 8 seconds. The Model 3 Performance takes about 11 seconds to do this.

I love that every little detail gets covered and brought up as a plus and/or minus on each car. Kudos!

15:00 Well that isn't a fair range calculation, now is it? 1500 miles as a review vehicle means this car was likely driven hard over a good chunk of its miles, and it has only been driven in colder weather. That model 3 has been driven over all seasons. I imagine most of the time it's driven gently with the initial luster of the acceleration wearing off.

The measurement was faulty. But the conclusion will be the same under real measurements. It's just physics, it's much heavier, less optimized drivetrain tech and has higher drag to make it look 'fast' and 'musculine'.

Without hyper miling, many people with EVs end up having improved range after a week or 2 getting used to the regen and throttle response characteristics. I've had similar experience.

thats the only thing I dont like about the tesla is that the rear window dont lift up like it does on the bmw, which also makes the rear visibility quite poor. However they did fix that with the model Y. I hope they'll eventually give the model 3 the same boot design as the Y

For some markets of BMWs, the i4 accepts voice commands for climate control. "Hey BMW, set temperature to 18 Celsius." I assume he lives in England. No car is perfect. Both are great. Good to have alternative choices. I wish the Model 3 were a hatchback sedan though. I cancelled my order due to that. I had an used Model S for a while. It gets boring and annoying that you have to going through screens to just control the speed of windshield wipers. That is really backward. A software based company really has a lot to learn from other veteran car manufacturers since it is 50% hardware and 50% software. So both companies have to learn from each other and make better cars for us - the consumers - in the future. For now, I pass the Model 3. It lacks good easy controls for many functions. Controls that we use daily should be a one-touch process only, but using the central screen of the Model 3 means also taking eyes off from the road and many finger prints. Meanwhile, BMW needs to make its space more efficiently designed so that there is a more usable frunk and no central tunnel sticking up in the middle of the second row seats. For luxury and quality, BMW wins hands down. Both car appeal to people of different needs. I can imagine someone like me who is more hatchback inclined would love to buy the i4. However, to someone that don't need easy access to trunk such as my coworkers who don't even open they trunk in a month, those people probably don't care if it is a hatchback or not. Choices are great. Make more great cars for us - the consumers - please. Thank you.

I see your point with the controls. The new UI in my Model 3 has it right though. Everything is where you need it. Having a China made Model, the Quality has gotten to the point where it is awesome. Of course the BMW still has a small leg up on this, but that in no way justifies the much higher price. I will likely get the i4 as a company car, so I will see where both stand.

I couldn't decide between the i4 M50, Model 3 performance or e-tron GT Quattro. I decided to go for the e-tron GT! I personally think its gorgeous and the best looking EV on the market right now, the build quality is German and the mileage is perfect for me. Delivery next month!

Continuous improvement of models. Agile to the core. Most and best vertical integration (e.g: made them less vulnerable for chip shortages). No legacy infrastructure, culture, dealers, .. dragging them down. Led within an engineering culture, not a finance culture. The biggest and fastest growing dataset to train FSD. They develop their own neural network chip (in car and in DOJO). Develop their own training supercomputer (DOJO). They have their own and fast growing charging network with the best user experience. They have the most valuable corporate brand (known to have the most visionairy leader who has the superpower to bring the vision to action; the best people want to work for Tesla; it is known that no legacy car maker would even think of making EV's if it wasn't for Tesla; they have a clear and compelling mission; they are seen as the true leader of electrifying the car/energy market; they are seen as the most innovative; they have the fastest production car ...) ... and therefore: the demand for Tesla is huge. Even without advertising! Tesla is the most profitable per car made. Tesla has the best software and hardware in their cars and they are the direct owner of it (it is not outsourced). They are building production capacity at a rate you can't even imagine. Inevitable conclusion: Tesla is in the lead and I think it will be very very hard to catch up for legacy car companies.

Koenigsegg Gemera does 0-60 in 1.9 seconds flat withount 1 foot rollout subtracted. 1.99 seconds 5-60 isn't the fastest in the world. 3) Your claim that no legacy car manufacturer would make EVs withount Tesla is just bullshit. There were EVs before Tesla and there were EV concepts from legacy brands far before Tesla. 4) The most valuable corporate brand? Also bullshit. Elon isn't known for producing anything. He's known for saying he'll produce something, then completely failing to do so. Need examples? I have plenty. 2020 roadster? It's been 5 years and we've heard nothing. Cybertruck? Official release date removed from the website. Hyperloop? Failed concept, with failed exaction. Just go look at vegas loop videos. The revolutionary traffic solving hyperloop where Teslas can move 150mph fully autonomously is, in reality, a tunnel underground where someone behind the wheel can take tourists going 25mph. The revolutionary leader who currently holds the world record for the most net worth lost in a single year? How do you lose 100 million dollars of net worth in less than a year... 5) For the aforementioned reasons, don't bring up solar panels or AI. Tesla claimed to have solar roof panels on homes by 2015. Where are they? They demonstrated supposed solar roof panes that Elon claimed were functioning. Later revealed to be non-functioning prototypes aimed at giving customers and idea for what they would look like. Tesla has 'produced' 7 cars. 4 of which are unique. 1 of which rides on the same platform as another. and 2 of which are total concepts that have never touched the consumer.
