Tesla is hardly a mass market car. I think the price is too high for a BMW 5-series as well, but if they manage to sell the cars at that price, that's my problem and not theirs. I think Tesla made a good choice to expand downwards in the market, that's the only sensible solution for a small company.

If you want a mass market car, you can get a Nissan Leaf for half the price. I agree that it's not for everyone, especially since the battery warranty is not as good as it should be.
