Building a car is not just about engine. Tesla might be 10 years ahead in terms of EV engines, but they’re about 100 years behind in terms of everything else, including service&dealer network. Also, BMW don’t need to pay Tesla any big bucks to use any of the technologies they have, since Tesla’s tech is open source thanks to an idealist running the company - Elon Musk.
Such a clouded view

I will bet 10/1 that the Tesla Model 3 Performance will crush the upcoming BMW i4

Tesla has the entire car industry beat with their worldwide supercharger network and their battery factories
