"Over here we have alien tech (pointing to that white Model S) superior to this one..."
Lmao he can't even sit in the Bimmer cuz the Bimmer cannot run the HVAC whilst charging to cool the cabin cuz it's cooling system is shared with the battery conditioning system. Talk about failboat.

As an ex-BMW loyalist I believe its CEO should fire the entire design team, then commit Hari Kari.
They are all awesome on paper until they get tested by the "real" people. I guess we will all find out how other EVs perform, Tesla cars have been dissected under microscopic level over and over now, so now it is their turn.

We already knew the battery system was suspect.

Joke’s on you. MX/MS also have this issue."Over here we have alien tech (pointing to that white Model S) superior to this one..."

Seen it first hand.
Not being able to run the AC while charging is a criminal oversight. Someone at BMW should be fired.
I think those are the older ones, not the current models (please let me know if I am wrong).
I have a 17 Model S and you can most assuredly run the ac while supercharging.

Yes but your cooling is also tied to it.
Take it from someone who’s had an AC compressor fail in Arizona and had to deal with 30-50KW charging at New River down from Flagstaff before dropping the car off at the Tempe SC,
I don't believe the 3/Y suffers from having to share A/C in the cabin while supercharging as much as the older cars, and neither should a brand new i4.
