More to the point, who in their right mind thinks that BMW would be selling a car with a 45mph top speed? Like, at all?

The fact that a person who works for a BMW dealership of all people would genuinely think this is simply not credible.

Even the comical Isetta had a top speed north of 60.

It's closer to 55mph. But only when the battery is depleted. Because the car has literally a 2 cyl motorcycle engine for a generator. It's only intended to be a backup for emergencies.
