Agree that a BEV platform from the ground up is the way to go. It made no sense when they let go of the previous CEO for failing to catch up to Tesla and produce worthy EV's only to just follow the same plans he had for electric cars with the new CEO. They are already very behind Tesla and an all electric platform from the ground up will likely yield better range and a more efficient vehicle which they will need with the Supercharger network being one of Tesla's many advantages over the competition, but then again how long will it take them. The iX3 is taking forever to launch, the i4 is scheduled for 2022 (and that was before Covid) and who knows what updates/upgrades Tesla will make in that time?
