Especially in rural areas.
So BMW should invest to pursue that shrinking rural population and those that don’t have access to >100A of electricity at their homes.

Focusing on a declining gas/diesel product until it turns into 0% market share in 20-30 years seems insane.

I had no idea they sold their CF plant. How awesome would a Model S be made out of carbon fiber??

BMW should ask themselves “How many former Tesla owners are we winning back with our new line of SAVs, vs. how many customers are we losing to Tesla?” It’s 0% to 100%, right?
