Total legal load including passengers in the Tesla is 388kg including driver/cargo.
Same number for the i4 is 555kg.
These are not race cars in the end, but daily drivers.
The sacrifices Tesla make to get their numbers has been discussed before i guess. But i think this is vital information when arguing that they somehow figured out something thats beyond BMWs engineers.
I think they are better at pushing the limits in ways that are unconventional and beyond BMWs engineers in the sense that german cars have different standards.. Legally carrying four average germans in a five seater being one of them.. 😅

Interesting data points, I never thought of it from that perspective.
