Not really. Having had some experience with Model 3, I don't believe catching up to it is possible without a clean slate design. Sure, you might have a more comfortable vehicle (there's no argument that BMW makes better interiors), but an 80kWh battery dropped into what is built to be primarily an ICE vehicle won't be anywhere close to the 300+ mile range of a 75kWh Model 3. Witness the I-Pace that's rated for the puny 234 miles with a 90kWh battery. |
Since Tesla put a fire up under everyone's ass I think every brand is going to bring something to the table that goes beyond in what Tesla is currently giving. I'm thinking with this model it'll be aim towards the more sporty driving and possibly some track focus like how the dual motor powered Tesla 3 is going for. I don't think they'll be able to match their range though. Tesla is probably going to be the lead in that for awhile.
