Oh? Well to be fair, the ugliest thing on the road is not strictly a car, and to call it a "truck" is both an insult to anything that actually computes, and to actual trucks – or anything else that fits in road lanes.
I own a G90 M5. While definitely a heavy car, I love having best of both worlds on demand. Having driven 7 different Tesla's previously as daily drivers, there is something convenient about being able to fill up extremely quickly when on road trips. My only issue with it is the small gas tank which means I have to refill it once a week currently with the way I drive.
I really don't like BMW's direction with Neue Klasse. It just looks stupid for the sake of being different.
Is it a better trend to add more and more batteries to increase range or keep a target 250ish mile range and over time remove batteries as they improve in power density?
The real competition has 1MW charging. BYD has installed some of these chargers in Europe recently. It's really interesting to see the battery charge go up in real time.
We just bought an Audi A6 Avant Performance which is a year old and about the same spec?
Missus is a BMW person and really wanted another, but they were not competitive. I did a 380 mile journey in it at around 85% battery and it was awesome.
Remember when they released the i3? From the company that released some pretty amazing looking cars, that was their first entry into the EV market? They certainly didn't want them to sell and were going to use the low sales as evidence that no one wants EVs. Now I fear it's too late for them as they're going to get their lunch eaten by Chinese EV companies that actually put in a good faith effort.

Yeah I know it's a luxury car but still
