Peter, thank you for telling
Peter, thank you for telling us you felt this way after reading the story. I think that the Model S and i3 will not compete directly. The comment was meant to emphasize that the Model S is not really just a passenger car - but far more. As you know some Model S cars can go head to head with a Corvette Stingray on a drag strip. It is very large (5+2 passengers), extremely luxurious, and handles like an Audi S7. The i3 is nothing at all like that. Rather it has the straight line acceleration of a Honda Accord Sport (4 cylinder) is a 4+1 seater, and handles kind of like a RAV 4. I'm sorry you saw the article as being anything but positive with regard to the Model S. I meant to convey to readers some perspective on what is out there now and make the case that the i3 fill the space BETWEEN the Leaf and the Model S. It is priced at less than half of a comparably equipped Model S and nearly double a comparably equipped Leaf after the government antis up.
