Like I say, we’re not gaining by rehashing this here. The horse - along with the cat - is dead. But speaking of excuses...

BUT I think it'll take at least a year to become clear in the data since lots of people are willing to adopt a deformed blue & white tabby once, but just won't have the emotional energy to do it a second time.

Though given BMW's penchant for inflating their sales numbers, we may never be able to tell - more likely we'll have to watch what they do vs listen to what they're saying.
You want a year, the next guy wants two, and then three, etc. In the meantime, I’m sure, reminding us to keep doubting the numbers.

We'll definitely keep a watch on this, but it’s 2021 now, a leaf has been turned over, and shenanigans are out of style. So we're not going to let it become a complete farce.
