There is a lot buzz for Tesla electric vehicles, and more now than ever because of the new affordable option coming soon. BMW has always been at the top of the game when it comes to making the best vehicles. They definitely give Tesla a run for the money when it comes to electric cars.
The BMW i3 is an all-electric car competing against other electric cars such as the Prius and Leaf. However, when it comes down to comparing it against the best electric car, then you have to look at Tesla.
These are the aspects where the BMW i3 is winning:
- More environmentally friendly
- Most efficient
- Stronger braking
- More subcompact
- Cooler space-like interior
- More reliability — Tesla has little experience in the car industry and has already had setbacks such as shipment delays and recalls
- More available for purchase since Tesla, again has a thing for delays
These are the aspects where the Tesla is winning:
- Longer mile range, which is the primary reason why Tesla is considered the best electric car on the market
- Supercharger access, which means you can charge your Tesla throughout the nation
- Better autopilot features
- State of the art infotainment and navigation system
- Over-the-air software updates
- More spacious, including cargo space
Both the BMW i3 and Tesla are awesome vehicles. When making your decision it is important to consider every aspect. Are you big on road trips? Then the Tesla might be perfect for you. Do you prefer the more environmentally-friendly option and don’t want to deal with delays, then keep it safe with the BMW i3.
