Former Big Deal
I went through this process a couple months ago.
I, too, liked the I4 from BMW. But the Model Y for $49K - $7500 tax credit for a net $41,500 was a no brainer as far as value is concerned. Took it on long road trip from NC to Maine, charging was a breeze with the Tesla charging network and the built in locating software.
Tesla has the electric vehicle process nailed down. Everyone else is chasing.
Also, I could not find any I4's for $60K. They were all closer to $70K, and the dealers were not dealing because inventory was very limited. That is a massive price delta.
Tesla is definitely great at a lot of things. Build quality and comfort are not one of them.
