Come onnnnnnnnn Pete, Hurry on with the wheels! and get the 'Dual Motor' off the back
Probably going to be an odd one out here but I'm not going to lie, I find it hard to get in any way excited about these or any electric car. I would definitely have one as a daily though, but never as my only car or for a fun car. Everyone gets excited about how fast they are, but imo a real petrol heads know cars are so much more than that, and I guess I am all about my engines.
But, I know you are clearly a petrol head and still have your M4 to show it, so, super happy for you as while I don't get any excitement from these they for sure have to be perfect daily drivers and I would have one for this duty. Doubt I'll ever be able to afford one as a daily, my £1.5k Mazda 3 will do fine for now.

Now tinted and I got Andy to put some vinyl on the headlights to make it look a little more aggressive,
Springs are being fitted at the minute. I have ordered my tyres, hilariously thin at 295/30/22 and 245/25/21. Went for PS4S, love them on the Cayman and the M4. However they are currently on back order so no idea when they will be here.
I’m really loving the car, it’s doing exactly what I need it to do, then you have the performance when you fancy it. I gapped an R8 off a set of lights going onto the M2, he actually mouthed wtf while giving me a thumbs up and laughing. It’s hilarious
Still took the M4 a good rip last night and a noisy petrol just hits different, I am so lucky to have both.

Make sure you keep some money back for putting all your teeth back in after sailing about with 25 profile tyres

Comfy daily driver with 25 profile tyres, I like your style. Like something stupid I would do 
Looks much better with the tints done, I am so used to modern cars having tints that they look weird without them.
Its ironic that UK number plates actually make the front of these look better!

That's the future right there. Outstanding.
Fantastic, class car and great to see one modded. I imagine a modded one will be very rare as well, as most are PCP deals and therefore untouched. I tip my hat to you, this is the future and refreshingly positive. The car enthusiast scene will not die with electric

Springs in, they should settle a little more too. Just tyres to arrive and that’s the mods complete and then I can finally machine polish it, the paintwork actually makes me angry
It's probably as mint as a trebor XXX to 99% of the populationLol, I assumed it had been polished- looks mint in the photos
