Still no feature preventing BMW drivers from tailing behind other cars 2-3m at high speeds.

Drafting increases the i5's range.

Indicators in all electric vehicles consume unnecessary energy. No indicators = extended range.

I mean tailing a car driving at maximum allowed speed, while the car in front is overtaking a truck. The BMW could e.g. discharge the battery to electrocute the driver while situation like this is detected.
