Every vehicle design is a compromise. If the things you value aren't in the scope of the vehicle, it, obviously, won't work for you. With any EV, it's also a tradeoff on size, weight, and overall range...add more batteries, adds more weight which decreases overall range gains until it ends up being no gain at all. Personally, for the characteristics BMW choose to optimize, I think the i3 is a good vehicle, but will not be suitable for an only vehicle unless you are a real homebody, and never stray far from home in a car, or need to carry more 'stuff'. But, for what it was designed, efficient running around on trips within its range, it works, probably better than most of the others out there - if the compromises coincide with your needs.

I think there are enough people around that will like it for it to be a success.
