I'm not surprised. The range of the I3 does not seem adequate for all purposes. Performance wise they do all right - nowhere near ludicrous mode, but zippy enough.
Whether their narrow tires are any good when there's a bit of unpaved road, or someones garden or whatever to cross remains to be seen. I doubt it.

A fat tired Model X in P100D trim would do all of that so much better. If Dubai is not outfitting its police department with those right now they are losing their step.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
