Spotted a BMW Electric Test Vehicle (like a X3)

This was in front of me on way to work this AM.
There was another one in front of that one that was camouflaged like a test mule vehicle.
More competition for our Model Y!

Isn't this the upcoming iX?

If that is the upcoming iX it will be in the Model X category due to size and supposedly to start at $83,000.

Here's Bjorn's review of the iX interior.

I got a quote on the New IX from our local dealer and they are already discounting them. The monthly payment when launched will match the X5 40. If this truly becomes the case BMW will sell tons of them.

Good, Tesla desperately needs some serious competition

I like it but the front end is just hideous. Although to be fair, I haven't really liked BMW styling since Chris Bangle f'ed up the 5-Series.

I agree with you 100% but seeing and driving the car in person makes a big difference. The car is huge in person compared to all the photos online. it is exactly the same dimensions as an X5 on the outside and close to the X7 on the inside. This is a real contender for my next car.

I also had the chance to see and drive the EQS at an MB event where they also had a Plaid, the EQS is amazing. Its every bit an S class you would think PRICE , technology that works, ride that is amazing and last but not lease material / build quality...

Though a Plaid and EQS target different segments Performance vs Luxury its not an apple to apples comparison. The EQS and IX are really good contenders.
