Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

BMW i5 LWB
- Great design: A good mix of elegance and sportiness
- Premium cabin: The materials feel upmarket, and the cabin design is distinct
- Comfortable: Adaptive suspension makes regular drives more comfortable
- Driving dynamics: Feels sporty to drive, with precise steering and great handling
- Good space: Longer wheelbase makes more space in the back for a relaxing seating position
Tesla Model Y
- Space! A 6.5ft tall person can fit behind a 6ft tall driver.
- Range: 400-500km in the real world, depending on the model.
- It’s quick! 5 to 5.9 seconds to 100kmph is serious performance.
- Feature fest: 16-inch touchscreen, 8-inch rear screen, on-board apps etc.

BMW i5 LWB
- Lacks rear seat niceties: No massage or ventilation for rear passengers hampers the chauffeur-driven experience
- Silly Misses: Rear sunblinds and physical AC controls should have been present
Tesla Model Y
- Everything controlled from the touchscreen might feel overwhelming to some.
- Ride quality is on the firmer side. Surface imperfections are felt inside the cabin.
