Nope, not even in Switzerland its good enough and covered enough. Maybe for some folks, but not good enough for others.

What I see is how rich folks buying these (since these have TCO cost 2-4x as much as buying a solid used car every 10 years and servicing that with a good non-brand service, ie good BMWs are great at this) end up being proverbial slaves to their cars. Effin' car, like we are not enslaved with enough gizmos. Additional mental calculations compared to owning ICE cars re range if your commute is in tens of kms and not merely kms, forced to do stops on longer routes as car needs, not as the people riding it need.

I see it as adding tons complexity into our lives, and we are working hard on opposite direction.
