Two things:
Everyone is judging this on how the vehicle is fueled. I think we've argued to death I6 vs I4, turbo or not, VANOS, etc etc etc.
I think what will be keeping the BMW engineers up at night is, simply, "Is this a good car? Is this a great car? Is this a BMW?"
Way too soon to tell.
Secondly, it seems like one side of the political spectrum is over the top with capitalism, individualism, and competition. Guess what? This is a great opportunity for everyone. Updated Infrastructure, rebuilding our electrical grids, new careers - this can all happen.
And don't think for a moment that this won't be endorsed by the US government. Check the news and sales out of China. We (in the USA) are way behind them in BEV and batteries - as soon as politicians see the writing on the wall, they will throw their weight behind it, culture wars or not.
And all I hear is people complaining and it sounds like another round of "Get off my lawn". Pipe down gramps, change is coming.
