Surprising! The i3 looks terrible (at least to me) and has really narrow tyres mostly for range, which I think was a bad idea.
Interior looks good though.

I think this is most likely due to the cost of the i3 vs the Tesla. I'd like a Tesla model S, but its a little too pricey, and while the i3 is a lot more affordable a realistic range of 80 miles is just not enough. I often do 60-70 miles a day and I'd have range anxiety driving me crazy if I couldn't plug it in. To pay more for the range extender seems a little silly,..
