The i8 gets a big fat 0 mile EV range rating (engine must start right up, whether it needed to or not) compared to 240-270 miles for the Model S. Not really fair to BMW to compare their car, with the lowest possible spec, to the one with the highest range available.

The Tesla seats four adults comfortably, five acceptably, though rear outboard passengers will find the roof leaning in toward their heads more than in other, more upright luxury sedans. The finishes of its interior pretty much disguise that fact; like other cars at its price, it is trimmed with soft-touch materials, leather, brushed chrome, and other high-end materials. The Tesla's finishes, by contrast, are fine but perhaps slightly more stark.

eDRIVE mode is purely electric, offering a max range of up to 15 miles and a max speed of 75 mph for a totally tailpipe emission-free ride.
It's not a lot, more than the prius plugin I believe. I've never tested this, but just what I have read.
But I agree, it's weird these 2 always seem to be in a comparison article. Just goes to show, there is nothing really like a MS (or i8).

Why exactly to I periodically see online journalists comparing these two cars? I don't even see them as competing against each other at all, beyond a sort-of similar price range.
I hated that comparison video, I think it was just click bait, they only used the MS to draw viewers and then did a bait and switch. Video should have been called i8 review, not i8 vs MS as they didn't compare the two.Here's Consumer Reports' take on the topic. As Jake Fisher says near the beginning, "comparing these two cars is kind of stupid". Note that this is largely a first-look at the i8 with not a lot about the Model S (which they had already finished reviewing).
