I just received an invite from BMW to test drive the i3 for the weekend (maybe everyone on their list did?). My gut reaction to their email positioning was that they believe many (if not most) will dismiss an electric vehicle and they have to create awareness to sell more. Hence the offer of a free weekend test drive.
I really don't think the market for the i3 (and admittedly I haven't read all 106 pages of this thread... just the recent ones) is the same as the Tesla. Can't be given the hugely different specs. They look different, perform differently...
But more ev's mean broader acceptance and options for all of us that drive an electric vehicle. Specifically, more gas (er, charging) stations and an acceleration in advances of the battery technology.
My two cents...
