Gary - loved this post.
Gary - loved this post. Thanks. Indeed the BMW i3 fan club I follow is now full of angry posts commenting on the cost. The "electronauts" which were BMW Active e lease holders, are very upset because they feel BMW is taking advantage of the early adopters. I have my eye on a leased base Leaf for my kids when they start driving. - I am not as optimistic as you about the Tesla. The next Tesla is now delayed until late 2015. We have seen the Model X design in detail now for 2 years and the prototype has been around for a full year. That car is almost exactly a Model S in every important way. It is a complete mystery to me how Tesla could come out with a radically different, significantly smaller, dramatically less expensive, car in 2 or 3 calendar years, gigafactory or no gigafactory. I hope it happens, but now even the name of the "econocar" car is now delayed.
