I use my M car to a big chunk of its potential on the street and will continue with a G80. Don't get me wrong I also like the M340i but it's not the same no matter the state of tune. People have been doing this with 335i and M3 forever. |

I chuckled at that comment, 140MPH on the street, what are you 12 |

But in performance terms overall, nope. Give it 100hp more than the M3 and it won't beat the M3 around a track, or in the real world. There comes a point that you have to accept the M3 is the result of millions of £/$ spent to maximise the potential of the standard car. If you don't have that budget, you are not going to get an overall better result. Please know that I'm in no way taking away from those that do chase horse power. It's your money, if that's what you love, go for it. But there is more to a true 'M' car than on paper power figures. |

I keep saying the same to so many people - but there is also a reality in which I'm far from confident Tesla or anyone else can even come close to making the batteries required to make all cars electric. Or.. even 2% of cars electric.
Fact is, anyone who has ever pulled the trigger on a slot car will know that electric power is so instant that fossil fuel can't compete. In less than a decade since Tesla started, affordable electric cars are capable of super-car crushing performance. But, also another slightly awkward fact is that no one is able to produce them fast enough!! All I know is that after my current IC car, I will probably go electric as I simply can't afford to lose money on the future value of another IC car beyond that point. Also, what is wrong with electric? We're BMW drivers, fans of performance... BMW have invested massively in their electric future, I'm feeling the same way |

So what is wrong with electric?
Since you asked the question ....
Let’s start with the as yet unsolved and not even in discussions yet elephant in the room ... we have an electrical grid/infrastructure working at capacity to supply homes & buildings with their current needs. If we suddenly add several million cars plugging in everyday where does that power come from? Electric energy doesn’t come cost free out of our backsides like liberals & clueless politicians think it does. And when we add this as yet unaccounted for drain onto the grid what happens to the cost of people’s monthly electric bill? You are going to force people’s grandparents that are living on fixed incomes to decide if they want to starve to death or freeze to death .... nice. But that isn’t even the biggest problem. There is no demand for electric cars. What happens when u make cars nobody wants to buy? Go talk to Chevrolet about that. Somebody above posted that in 10 years since Tesla began sales of electric cars went from .14% to 1.14% I believe .... and this with substantial, heavy government subsidies and tax breaks because again, there is no demand. I think a better question to be asking is what is wrong with ICE vehicles? When the time is right to phase them out the marketplace will do so naturally...until then vive the I6 petrol ICE !! |
