I view it as an appliance, and in that regards, $1900 a month for a "commuter" car is ridiculous. There are so many advantages of an electric cars for every day use though.
P.S. I find a used i3S very compelling at around $20k btw. But obviously, this is not as a replacement for an M.

He said it is VERY different than the competitors so I asked him what the competitors are that he drove and how they are different. You now say the interior is better than the S and it drives like a Porsche which doesn't say a lot considering it is a 5000+ lb electric sedan and the first EV Porsche.
I also will consider an electric for one of our 2 commuter cars but also look at it more like an appliance and won't consider one anywhere close to $100k. Mainly because the powerplant characteristics are pretty much the same on a $100k one and a $30k one, it's silent and most of the time has no transmission.
