I may have stated this once before. I don't know anyone personally with a Tesla (or any other EV). I would happily drive one given the opportunity. I'll try (almost) anything once.
• Last time I was at one occasional customer's house, I saw he had a Tesla charger installed on his garage wall, but the car wasn't there that day.
• The next-door neighbor to my parent's has a white Model 3; their charger is on the outside side wall of their garage (?), but I've never spoken with them. My father says the owner likes it tho.
That's it.
I do a lot of work in Princeton NJ, a high income area (2018 median income: $138K). None of those customers of mine has an EV tho.

Interesting.  I wonder what would convince them to buy or lease one.

Actually Amish people are cool...

This is actually a nice maroon. 

Be interested to see what they do with electrics, especially with the Electric MINI coming out.

BMW has had bad, dated design for decades. OO! - I just got my train of thought derailed by those bizarre rims on the Mini above this. Yikes.

Totally agree that BMW has failed styling for decades. So many better things even in Europe over what BMW is building.

And as for the IX, Wedbnesday Adams has to have something to take to prom...too bad this isn't as cool as the Munster cars of the sixties.

Apparently something, as Tesla S and other electrics are very common here in Columbus.

One final meme to explain everything BMW, ICE and electric both.

Oddly enough I really like BMW motorcycles though.

Worth a watch.
