Tesla vs. BMW EVs in Scranton, PA
See Why BMW Fully Electric Vehicles Have More to Offer than Tesla EVs
More and more people in Scranton, PA are discovering the many benefits of electric vehicles (EVs), and BMW makes some of the finest EVs in the industry. Not only do they have refined interiors, but they also have the blistering acceleration and standout tech features you expect from a BMW. Tesla was one of the first electric automakers, but they've fallen behind BMW when it comes to technology and interior quality. Tom Hesser BMW has a broad assortment of new BMW EVs, and we've designed the following comparisons to Tesla models to help you choose which fully electric luxury vehicle to buy.
BMW i7 vs. Tesla Model S
The new BMW i7 is an opulent electric luxury car that comes standard with Merino leather upholstery and oak trim. Taller passengers in Scranton, PA will appreciate that the i7 has 42.8 inches of rear legroom. The i7's infotainment system has a 14.9-inch touchscreen with voice recognition for easy operation while you're driving. Its navigation system and connectivity features are also straightforward.
The new Tesla Model S has a minimalist interior that looks dated and plain compared to the BMW i7. It also only has 35.5 inches of rear legroom. The Model S's infotainment system is more complicated to run because it has few physical controls, and its touchscreen can be difficult to see on sunny days. The Model S's gear selector, turn signals, and optional steering yoke are also needlessly convoluted.

BMW i4 vs. Tesla Model 3
The new BMW i4 has a handsome cabin with plush materials such as synthetic or genuine leather upholstery. Scranton, PA drivers will like its sleek, one-piece, curved display, which houses a 12.3-inch digital driver instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch infotainment touchscreen. A navigation system and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard in the i4.
The new Tesla Model 3 has more restrained interior styling, with vast empty spaces and too much plastic trim. Since there are no physical buttons on the dashboard, you have to rely on a tap or a swipe to adjust almost all of the vehicle's functions, which can be very distracting. Additionally, the Model 3's infotainment system doesn't support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Â
BMW i5 vs. Tesla Model Y
The new BMW i5 has a suave interior with a modern cockpit and eye-catching textures. Its infotainment system has a curved display encasing a 14.9-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. People in Scranton, PA will appreciate its "Hey, BMW" virtual assistant for hands-free operation.
The new Tesla Model Y has mediocre cabin materials that don't fit together particularly well. Its 15-inch touchscreen looks sharp, but it can be distracting and frustrating since it houses all of the vehicle's primary controls. Unlike the BMW i5, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration is not available in the Tesla Model Y.
Â
BMW iX vs. Tesla Model X
The new BMW iX has a tastefully designed interior that's awash in sustainably sourced or recycled materials. Its easy-to-use infotainment system comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigation, a 12-speaker stereo, and wireless device charging. Scranton, PA drivers will like the iX's optional head-up display with augmented reality.
The new Tesla Model X has an understated interior that borders on spartan. While it has mostly high-quality materials, there are a few cheaper plastics in less-frequented areas. The Model X's 17-inch touchscreen has slick graphics, but it's tasked with managing nearly all of the vehicle's functions, and most are tucked away in separate menus.
