BMW has to deal with the same shit.
Biggest challenge to any future electrified vehicle is weight. They gotta get the weight of the batteries down or else these "sports cars" of the future will turn like a whale. The Porsche Taycan is a laughable 5,100lbs and eats through tires once you put that car in a turn.

I think I remember the video with the Taycan and M5 on track, and the Taycan tires were *crying* on every turn lol
