Comparison between 2 Powerful Fuel Efficient Cars: 2014 Tesla Model S P85+ vs. 2014 BMW i8

The Telsa Model S was a very unique and new car to the automobile industry because it was a great car. with a 17 inch touch screen that controls the car, and the car runs and pure electricity. But then BMW created their own idea and came up with the BMW i8, BMW's new drivetrain, eDrive. This means that the car runs on electricity, but in this particular case. the car can also run on gasoline, if the driver wants to drive competitively But the main question is: Which car is better and why?

 According to Motortrend's article. the Tesla Model S P85+ is a better car than the BMW i8, with which I agree with because there are several reason. The primary reason why the Tesla is better is because the car is a "Greener" car than the BMW, in that the Tesla is only battery powered, whereas the BMW is half electric, and half gasoline powered. Additionally, the BMW i8 isn't a family car. although it has four seats, because  the car only has two doors, and the passengers in the back will have to struggle with space. Also, the Tesla has a bigger trunk than the i8, with the i8 only managing to fit 1 suitcase in its 4.7 cubic foot trunk. It is no doubt that BMW has put great effort into creating the i8, but the Tesla would beat it in comparison any day.
