My i4 is the best car I’ve ever driven, so I’d say it doesn’t matter at all. In fact, it gives an apples to apples comparison. I was able to drive the ICE version of my car and see how much better electric is. It’s clear that BMW spent more time on technological innovation than simply designing a new chassis, and it was worth it.

I also have a Silverado (ICE) and as it stands I would prefer the Lightning rather than the Silverado EV for actual hauling stuff in the bed. It just looks more believable as a truck and had fewer gimmicks. Familiar body styles will go a long way convincing anti-EV-ers to eventually transition. The Silverado seems more geared to people already accepting of an EV who just want something big.

I admit I do cry myself to sleep every night wishing I had a frunk. /s
