EV's hit 90% market penetration in Norway this summer.

I think it's about 30% in Sweden. The S60 PHEV is the top seller in Sweden right now.

I'm not sure I really get BMW's brand direction these days. They've all but abandoned many of their core segments. I get that your X3M has quite a bit of power, but why on earth would they call it a competition? Nobody would enter one into a motorsports competition. In general, cars with that high of a centre of gravity are banned from most motorsports.

The Tesla 3 has all but eaten the market segment the BMW 3 used to occupy, the small sporty premium sedan. BMW seems to have just let them have it.
