Currently, most of the contenders can't even match a Tesla (and I'm not talking assembly quality), a reason why each month the car mags headline "This could be a Tesla killer" (and they are not). Sales numbers are pretty obvious.

I would be happy if the i4 can match (or come close to) Tesla's Model 3 range, and battery longevity while maintaining the BMW build quality. Which maybe was your point.
