Please stop comparing the i8 to Tesla. There's nothing else like the i8 on the market today. Admittedly there is no car like Tesla either, but that's not the point. What I want to point out is that as an engineering accomplishment the i8 can't be compared to almost anything else out there, let alone in this price range! Just look at the Carrera 4s (similar price range), a wonderful car but ultra conservative from almost all the points of view. Future doesn't come cheap guys, but the 100k price tag is a low one for a car like it, can't you realize this? Ask some engineer about this and you'll get it confirmed. Don't look just at things such as power, no. of cylinders, range, electric vs hybrid drive. Take in account also carbon fiber construction (a first in mass production cars besides the i3), aerodynamic shaping, laser lights, state of the art electronic management of the drives, ecological production processes etc. And then there's the low weight too...
