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.  |
I think we might be intending to say the same idea, but for the semantics. One can compete poorly with an inferior product, compete with perhaps an acceptable sales outcome with a parity product, or compete successfully with a superior product. Sports team analogies are just waiting to be made! I would imagine we're all hoping for superior but affordable, but some could accept parity for the EV part because we're expecting superiority for the rest of the car.
