Not if you want the status of a high priced BMW "performance" vehicle to impress the public with your low emissions, high income and aggressive driving. For that you'd want a BMW 300e or BMWi8.
Nice that BMW offers cars for people who want to do their part with GHG while still playing the car status game.
This terrifies some of the Teslarati because, I guess, they fear it will undercut Tesla's full EV sales. That BMW was specifically targeting Tesla buyers over the 2-3 year wait for the T3 is not the threat to Tesla that they fear. At least not at this stage of Tesla's development where Tesla won't even ship 500,000 cars for years.
BMW, Ford, Nissan, Toyota et al are providing 70% of the demand for great low emissions hybrids, plug-ins and pure EV's. The Teslarti fear and loathing we see here are totally misplaced and unjustified.
