Tesla could not call their next car, "Model E". Ford apparently sued them from using that moniker....now BMW has a beef with it.

Now that's funny.

This is relevant to my interests. I may get one shot at having an electric car. I'd like to see a $2-4000 conversion and 20-40 mile range. Do you think it would be possible to go with AC in that scenario? Could you suggest other threads or search terms to try?
