Tesla makes a cool car, but a low volume 2 seat sports car that sells for 100K will never be mainstream. Getting a major manufacture to build a small but useful city car, all electric, will make a big difference. BMW is building between 500 and a 1,000 all electric Mini's. With a claimed range of 150 miles, and 0-60 times of around 8.5 seconds, it should be pretty fun to drive, certainly a reasonable city car.

Unfortunately, others have built all electric vehicles in limited numbers, that never made it to real production. Hopefully the Mini will be an exception. Look at the prices for the EV Rangers and EV Rav4 on eBay, and there certainly seems to be some demand.
