Clyde - to give you a more serious reply...

In a thread where JST took the time to do a really nice writeup comparing two great (and absurdly expensive) cars, you had nothing to add but to nitpick one line with an obvious disclaimer (Yeah, um, an electric car is kind of a pain in the ass if you have nowhere to charge it. Breaking news.) and rathole the discussion into the same stale point we've debated multiple times already with no resolution. And then insult and condescend to people after they tried to give you a serious reply. Honestly, it's tiring, and isn't something JST deserves in a thread where he took the time to write up his thoughts on two really awesome cars.

In terms of your followup statements about people around the world. This is a thread about an $85K+ BMW M3 and a $70K Tesla Model 3, and your concern about world-wide accessibility is the charger? Either of these cars are attainable by only a tiny fraction of people on the planet. And of that fraction, how many can afford the $85K car yet can't figure out how to charge a Tesla? I'm sure it's non-zero, but to be worth ratholling this thread over? It's feels like intentional trolling at this point.
