If you look at i3 it's in a different market segment, it's more a competitor for Nissan Micra (or Smart) than M3 or Leaf or Bolt.

The i3 is too fugly for me to even consider. I'd get a Chevy Bolt before I'd get an i3.

I say if you already have a car that works just fine for now then start saving up for a spec'd out Model 3 if you haven't been already. Let's be honest, the other vehicles are technically EVs, but they aren't really what you want are they?
In addition, in two years time we might actually see some competition if the German manufacturers kick it into high gear.

Wait, was that a legitimate question? It's about $44.5k
Of course, if you want a different color, navigation, and parking assistance it'll run you $49,495 for 170 HP, 33 kWh, and 114 mi range.

Why would anyone buy one?
M3 has effectively made it a $25K car!

When it comes to cars, Tesla has the highest 'coolness' factor in surveying.
BMW brand has dropped & the badge would be irrelevant on an EV
Are there any legitimate indications that there will be a 60kWh version?
Or was that purely speculation?

I think it has been mentioned by Nissan as a car in their plans for the future, but no timeframe for release thus far.
@internalaudit is hoping that more information will be forthcoming during the 40 kWh model release. I would see that as odd timing indeed. It's not like people are banging on the gates to buy the 40 kWh model.
Australian article:
Prices for the (2017) i3 start at $63,900 for the electric-only 60Ah model and $69,900 for the same car with the range extender. The new 94Ah model takes the purely electric version to $65,900 and the range-extender model to $71,900.
The i3 not a very popular car in the US or Australia. Whether it's the sticker price or the styling or the size, it just doesn't sell very well.

My estimate delivery date is late 2018. Except for potential loss of our own government incentive mid-year, lots of time to potentially explore alternatives but I probably need a 250 mile BEV to make it a sensible purchase because of the 140 mile round trip my wife takes once a week.
If not available, and the Model 3 ESA is quite comprehensive, LR Tesla here we go.

Elon just tweeted that trans-canada SC is coming in 2018.If not available, and the Model 3 ESA is quite comprehensive, LR Tesla here we go.
That might give you a plan 'B' for the rare case where a SR Model 3 is not enough, and would be a better plan than a 60 kWh LEAF without any back-up charging.
