Its supposed to be exaggeration. I hinted at that people kinda missed the point with what this car is supposed to be. Especially the i8. I stand by my delorean comparison. They are a bit hard on BMW. I actually tested BMW i3 over a weekend, the stupid thing failed to start on me and left me utterly frustrated and I still thought it was cool - but way way too raw at the time. Especially I hated the idea of the ar just being on-off. Like a phone, when you get a black screen and it is dead - you have no idea what to do next. Now your car will make all the funny noises and you can sorta tell whats wrong with it or make it somewhere. But electric being off is off. Walk away. That part concerned me, especially as they are often pitched as these "reliable cars with no moving parts unlike combustion engine cars".
