The whole "beating the system" schtick is cringey as hell. But I know exactly the kind of person they're aiming for with that garbage and it'll probably work on them.

Was driving by BMW today and I had a bit of time to kill so we hopped in to take a look at the iX. I still think it's ugly, but on paper it's the best fit EV for us and I really wanted a closer look.
The interior is great. Bummer about the hardmounted piece of glass for the sunroof ala Tesla. I prefer a traditional opening roof. I wanted a test drive but was told no. I was dressed poorly (hoodie, sweats, superstars) and I looked like I was 25.
I've test driven the original etron before and the drivetrain and packaging was a disappointment.
Going to see if I can go find a iX test drive somewhere.

Slighty used iX 40i with the premium package seems like the best value IMO, no PST and extended warranty.
That tax is BS and has nothing to do with the roads. Daniel Smith is an idiot. She also made it harder to do renewable energy projects. Whay should someone who drives 5k a year in an Ev pay the same as someone who drives 20K a year. that's not how it works with ice cars.
Because they’re using the same roads?

So you go to a restaurant and your buddy orders 6 shots and a munch of food for himself and you just order a beer and an appy you should both pay the same amount because you are both at the same restaurant?
If you are going to tax evs they should be taxed on usage or damage. A f250 is doing a lot more damage to the road than a Tesla model 3.

More damage in what way? A Model 3 weighs almost as much as my F150. It makes sense EVs should be taxed for using the roads, bicycles as well.

Actually you are wrong, the weight is up there, and the problem with EVs is the instant torque they put down and a lot of EV owners use that. The extremely high tire wear EVs experience would tell you a lot on how much damage they do.

Nah... it's always about weight. If torque were actually the main issue, they'd have dyno stations along the highway instead of weight stations.
At a commercial property that we had, we had people doing donuts/burning tires all the time during the odd hours when the parking lot was empty. But the pavement never had an issue. In the 7yrs of ownership, we have not touched there other than once we were getting the whole parking resurfaced and coated.
The loading bay area, OTOH, requires almost yearly work due to the constant heavy weight that they endure.
^Pretty excited for the R2 as an electric 4Runner-sized alternative. The R3 is pretty neat as well - it gave me Integrale vibes when they revealed it.
But revealing this many models at once gave me a small feeling of desperation given their financial situation - it's unusual for automakers to announce multiple new models at once since the media attention gets spread out.
See I talk a lot of shit about electrics and made that troll post, but I would definitely consider a R3 as a car for my gf as her main car and our errand-mobile in the future if the company survives. Checks a lot of boxes for her.
