To drive my point home a little more, this car's sweet spot isn't really the Prius owner or someone who would consider the Leaf.

It's the guy who won't buy a car with a > 6 second 0-60 time. The guy who wants to step on it and be put in the back of their seat but for whom 50-60k is a little bit too much to spend. They can't afford an M3 but want an M3 performance so they buy a 335, a G37 / Q50, or an IS350. I've personally discounted the IS250 because the acceleration is too slow for me.

If the Model 3 gets 5.3 0-60 or better, it's a no-brainer.

I drive a CTS (3.6l is slow in that heavy vehicle). I want a Model 3. I think I fit this stereotype. I drive 120+ miles round trip. If I could do that paying $.07kwh vs $3-$4 per gallon I would do it. Also I'd buy a Model S if I could afford one right now. The only thing I'd like to see if an AWD system in a Tesla but I'm not sure it makes sense from an efficiency standpoint.
