bmw i8 autopilot Q&A Review
What are the pros and cons of the Tesla Model S P90D vs the BMW i8?
I’m in the middle of considering a move away from traditional engined cars, and have tried both. I had a lengthy test drive of a P90D, and on mentioning this to my local BMW dealership, was offered (and accepted) a 48 hr test drive of the i8. My current car is a BMW 750li, so any comparisons will be based on that as my definition of ‘normal’. P90D: Pros - fast. Very fast. Even without Ludicrous mode, this is a fast car. And not like any ICE you have ever driven, where you have to wait for some revs to get the power, it comes on like a light switch - bang, all the torque at once. That is an addictive way to drive. It may not be the fastest once you get up in towards 100, but realistically, for normal street driving, it’s first of the line that counts. It’s also the future. Electric cars were until recently laughable. This is a serious contender for the way all cars should be. It has something around 42 moving parts. When I got back into my 75o and thought of all the components under the bonnet, simply to tame and maximise the output of some burning fuel, it did seem a very antiquated method of powering a vehicle. That huge screen is awesome as well, along with the digital dash. Cons - It gets very expensive very quickly when you add the options you want. Accelerating like that all the time kills the range. I would find it very difficult to drive for range knowing I had to give up acceleration. It also suffers from American build quality (sorry, American pals, but you really can’t build a great quality car). Remember my 750? Years ahead in quality, but as a flagship model of a luxury car maker, you would expect that. Also, great toys, but not all the toys. I’d really miss my BMW HUD - it is an awesome tool. And night vision, but that’s more of a gimmick as yet. Autopilot is great, but once the novelty wears off, it’s just a next gen adaptive cruise control. And with the road quality here in Scotland, I think it would really struggle to find a white line on many of our roads. One of my main reasons for looking at Tesla is that I can put it through my company much more tax efficiently than a petrol car, but that advantage is being reduced in future years - not Tesla’s fault, but cheers UK Government. I8: Pros - it’s a very pretty car, stunning in fact, and built like a BMW, not a flimsy plastic supercar. It gets 30 MPG when I drive it (750 gets 13). I know it claims 120 or so, but then that would be by driving it super-economically, and as per the P90, why would you want to? It’s also a good way for buying a £100,000 supercar through your company tax efficiently - for now. Cons - no luggage space, rear seats for legless midgets only, I got 5 miles on electric - although it does charge very quickly when in sport mode and you are gunning it, but I guess that’s a more expensive way to charge than plugging it in. It also has a very wide and very high sill, higher than the seat base, in fact. It takes some time to learn how to exit gracefully. Especially at 53 years old and many pies too many heavy. One effect that I hadn’t expected - you get your picture taken every time you stop at a set of lights. These are rare cars, and as such photographed a lot. It’s also impossible to go anywhere discretely. I was tagged on Facebook several times by people whop had simply passed me in the street or on the motorway. It’s also hugely complicated. I’d love to have been in the design meeting, which I can only imagine went something like this: BMW Boss - we need an electric car, it’s the future. Designer - yep, can do. But the research will be expensive Boss - No problem, we’ll make it fast and pretty, sell it at a premium Designer - wont the range be a problem? Boss - Stick a small engine in it to charge it Designer - but that won’t be powerful enough to suit your sports car looks Boss, then turbo, no two turbos. Designer - That will be laggy Boss, then add another electric motor to fill the lag of the turbos and boost the engine…. It’s very complex, and I don’t fancy finding a dealer that can sort it when it goes wrong. It also looks like the interior of any BMW, like my wifes 320. But it does have a heads up display, and a very very good one.
Tesla owners - after you got used to your new Tesla, was it worth it? Would you buy another one? Why or why not?
1000% worth it. I had 3 luxury vehicles (Mercedes S550, BMW i8 and a Bentley GT Speed) before I bought my Tesla P90D. I now drive my Tesla 90% of the time and the other vehicles stay parked. The torque and autopilot mode are absolutely amazing! It’s my favorite purchase so far. I have a Ferrari on its way but I doubt that it will make me park the Tesla for very long. I would and will buy another one without question. Anyone that is thinking about purchasing one, stop thinking and do it! You will not be disappointed!
What is the difference between a sustaining innovation and a disruptive innovation?
Sustaining Innovation: Toyota Prius, a car which keeps getting slightly with every iteration. Another example, BMW i8: Disruptive Innovation: Tesla Model S, Interior and exterior: Both are a type of business model, you can read more here, instead of me shamelessly copy pasting it again: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20140826055111-35338609-is-your-company-s-business-model-sustaining-or-disruptive EDIT: Answer to how it is disruptive: People don’t know what Elon musk’s long term intentions are, here are excerpts from his blog: Create a low volume car, which would necessarily be expensive Use that money to develop a medium volume car at a lower price Use ,that, money to create an affordable, high volume car And... Provide solar power. No kidding, this has literally been on our website for 10 years. Adding to the above car, his intentions are to: Integrate solar roofs on houses so that the car charges on 100% clean energy. Upgrade the Tesla brand to SUV and Trucks (Imagine long haul trucks and commercial high density transports with solar roofs which accumulate power while on the road) Autonomy: Tesla Autopilot Car Share: Alowing you to summon your car via Autopilot from any nearby Tesla station, also adding your car to Tesla Fleet, where by you can give your car away for its time and you can get profit from it. So every Tesla owner can technically be able to share his ride when not used with close members of the family or exchange it with something they want for a day. This above fact would allow people to make money when its not in use. Meaning while you are in your office or on vacation, the car is going around making money for you via autonomy -> Disruptive.

How far are the major car makers behind Tesla in electric cars that have reasonable range and autopilot?
There are a couple of things to look at that I did not see addressed in other answers: AutoPilot,: while other companies can deliver cars equipped with hardware similar to AutoPilot, Tesla has two distinct advantages: Their engineers have more experience writing autonomous driving software—every comparison I have seen has Tesla besting the competition which current gen driver-assist features such as this one: ,Semi-Autonomous Cars Compared! Tesla Model S vs. BMW 750i, Infiniti Q50S, and Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG - Feature,. ,This is mid-term advantage—those Tesla engineers can be tried away and a competitor could eventually close this gap. As of last fall, Tesla had collected 1.3 billion miles of autopilot data and ~200 million miles driven with autopilot engaged (the cars are collecting data even if AP is not engaged). Because Tesla AP uses technologies like deep neural network and fleet learning, this is an immense amount of data has been “teaching” the Tesla software to make smarter decisions and that is an advantage that will be hard to overcome. ,This is a long-term advantage—data cannot be manufactured out of thin air, it can only be accumulated with miles driven. Range,: Range is largely a function of cost—building a battery pack to reach a certain range is not a difficult, but getting it to hit that range at a specific price point is much more challenging. Tesla has a supply chain advantage here. Because they are heavily vertically integrated, they have a leaner cost structure and direct control over battery R&D. For example, GM has outsourced much of the Chevy Bolt, including the power pack, to LG Chem, so GM’s cost model for the Bolt always has to take accommodate LG Chem’s profit margin. Since the battery pack tends to be the most expensive component in an EV, that is an important detail. With Tesla’s leaner supply chain, they have more flexibility to play with pricing and profitability—for example, they could deliver a larger pack (and more range) at the same price as a competitor using LG Chem without taking a hit on profitability because their COGS are lower. Tesla has recently been claiming a 35% reduction in battery cost which many believe gets them into the $125/kWh range (presumably with the Tesla-desinged 2170 cell) and Musk has said he would be disappointed if they could not get costs under $100/kWh by 2020. ,This is a mid-to-longterm advantage. I think Tesla will always have a cost advantage (because of their R&D, volume and vertical integration) but once EV volumes increase to a certain point, the advantage will shrink as economies of scale kick in for existing vendors like LG Chem and more competitors enter the market. How long tis advantage remains material really depends on how quickly the related markets (BEV, stationary storage, etc) ramp. One thing you did not touch on is institutional knowledge. In theory, with each iteration of product the company should get smarter and the product development cycle should get shorter when it comes to designing, building and bringing a product to market. Tesla is an EV company and everyone there has expertise in some aspect of bringing an EV to market—while it has not always seemed like it, the company has evolved as it moved from the Roaster to the Model S to the Model X (and I hope the Model 3). By contrast, while the Chevy Bolt is a great car, GM outsourced much of the development of that vehicle to LG Chem, so much of the expertise in designing and bringing a BEV to market sits with LG not GM. BMW is another example of a company that has built institutional expertise as it bought the i3 and i8 to market and VAG seems to be an a similar trajectory. I think that early investment will pay off as they both look to bring 2nd and 3rd generation product to market.
Would you rather own a BMW i8 or the Tesla Model S and why?
re: “Would you rather own a BMW i8 or the Tesla Model S and why?” OK, I wouldn’t pick either, but to honor the question, I’ll take the Tesla Model S. My reasons for doing so is pretty much practical. I could get more use out of the Tesla, save more money, etc. The reason I decided to leave an answer to this question, though, is that I sure hope that soon we’re not so limited to such choices. Even now, if you want eco-mobile, there are many more choices. I assume maybe the question is aimed at eco-vehicles that are sporty or performance oriented? That said, I sure hope auto makers like BMW start putting forth serious lines of EVs that more closely match what they make in their current gas-powered lineups. I currently drive an ‘07 BMW 328xi (E90). I’d love to be able to buy an EV version of something like that. I don’t want it to look like a spaceship, or something Jony Ive from the late 90s (cf. colored plastic iMac) dreamed up. I don’t want it to have just a touch-screen for the ‘dashboard’ (that is ergonomically horrible, not to mention rather unsafe). I don’t want it to be loaded with dangerous gimmicks like ‘Autopilot’. I don’t need fake engine noise. I don’t need gull-wing doors. It doesn’t have to make a spectacle of itself and me! I just want a somewhat sporty/luxury oriented EV done by someone who knows how to make such things. I’m sure others want different kinds of EVs that meet their particular interests and use-cases. Until then, I’ll say ‘no thank you’ and keep driving my gas vehicle. They’ll eventually get it figured out, I hope.
What’s the most technologically advanced vehicle?
Commercially available? The new Tesla Roadster… and pretty much anything else Tesla puts out. Arguable that the BMW i8 might be close simply because Tesla’s technology is mostly in the Autopilot and interior electronics. The BMW i8 pushes the boundaries of material science and mechanics used in a car. Tesla, outside of the electric motor, is a pretty traditional car. Steel (not aluminum or carbon fiber) shell, traditional brakes and suspension. Regular seats and interior trim construction. As a car, the BMW i8 is made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic, the plugin hybrid drivetrain allows for all electric mode within short distances and either extended range using current petrol networks or increased performance. The body shape of the i8 has integrated spoilers into the lights allowing for a more integrated aerodynamic effect without the bolt on race car look. HUD, ultra thin reinforced seats and newer materials. As a car, the Tesla Roadster and Model S are fairly traditional cars, apart from the engine/motor and interior electronics which are revolutionary. As a car, the BMW i8 is totally revolutionary in materials, design and construction… apart from the hybrid petrol engine powering the rear wheels. It would be easier to adapt the i8 to be more advanced (I still don’t know why BMW doesn’t work on that) than the Tesla since it would only involve replacing the rear engine with an electric motor (front wheels are already electric) and increasing battery capacity. Thus making it an AWD EV with way better features. But from a feature and performance point of view as a consumer, Tesla hands down has the most advanced cars available on the market today.
I need to buy a new car however I am torn between the BMW i8 and the Tesla Model S. Which should I buy? I am single with no kids.
BMW was my dream car for ever but only till I learned more about Tesla. I owned a Model S which I traded for a Model 3 and have never been happier. I would say go with the zippy Tesla, pure electric which has some insane acceleration. AutoPilot and Full Self Driving with a federal credit are all freebies that you get going with Tesla. I would definitely pass the i8 given the minuscule range and BMW being way behind with AutoPilot like features. AutoPilot is an absolute godsend on long journeys.
