I don't see this news as a threat or a big deal really.

The i3 was/is a concept car that you could actually buy. It was a tech test or several items and manufacturing processes; in the end, it worked.

The i3 shows that electric cars can work and be luxurious, yet practical for those of us in big cites with short to medium commutes.

It's light weight, quick, small on the outside, yet roomy. The exterior looks different, but isn't Prius or Leaf ugly. The interior is airy, forward thinking, and cool.

The i3 will pave the way for BMW electric cars over the next 20 years. So, think of the i3 as a pioneer car.

I personally feel part of the start of something great and I hope all i3 and i3s owners will feel this way as well.
