Yup. I'll take those rebates, tax incentives, carpool lane stickers, and free charging thank you. I'll shred tires in my M3 on the weekends, and enjoy the advantages of an EV on my commute because it benefits me. For those that can't/won't see the advantages or don't have them available to them, that's your loss, but I hope one day you can take advantage of it like some of us have.

OP, as an M3 driver, I love my i3 as a commuter. I think the range is just right for you, and despite the $50k price tag, the lease deals can be great. Keep in mind that BMW has 2 years free charging, so your fuel/energy costs could potentially be zero. The interior, IMHO is much better than most other EVs, spartan, but not as plain as the Model 3. Not quite as nice as the Tesla S and X, but then again, you're not paying >$100k.
Autonomous Driving is limited to Adaptive Cruise, which honestly is pretty damn great in the socal commute. I feel so relaxed, and my 80mi/day commute is much easier in the i3 than the M3.

Are those recent lease deals? What are the drive assist features in the Volt? Does it have adaptive cruise with traffic assist at the very least? |

I think I'm going to end up getting a Tesla Model 3. Although I'm a non Tesla owning line waiter, I am pretty high up on the wait list.
One of my friends who is also a non Tesla owning line waiter just got his configuration invite this week. He ordered at the Pasadena store maybe an hour ahead of me. I ordered at the Mission Viejo store around 1230pm. It seems the configuration invites are going out every Wednesday so I think mine will come next week or the week after... then it's gonna be another 4-6 weeks for the order. However I did test drive the Clarity PHEV and tried the drive assist features which worked nicely for commuting. If they put one more delay on the Model 3 then I'm pulling my reservation and headed to the Honda dealer. |
