For the record, we have had ZERO issues with either our Audi (2008 MY with ~70K miles) or our VW (2013 MY with ~42K miles). None.

We can't say that about any BMW we've had, including our E46 M3 (2006 MY with ~27K miles).

Also you need some gas.

Which is not surprising. Our R has about the same range as our Tesla.
