If you get a chance, read more about how the i3 was produced. It was bigger than just building an electric car, it was about building cars sustainably while advancing some really cool tech. To this day, you won't find a carbon fiber chassis in anything under $250k. It was also neutered by US regulators who insisted that the "range extender" could only be used after depleting the battery which severely limits its utility. That's fixable with a $10 app.
The i3 was fantastically cool it just turns out that most people aren't willing to compromise anything for a car that's built sustainably. That's why the i4 is doing much better than the i3 ever did.
