IMO, until the necessary infrastructure develops (ie, charging stations) they're probably not going to offer a really low-cost model. If you can't park at home and charge it overnight, it might be more trouble than it's worth.
But I think it's a game-changer. It reminds me of the way digital formats have changed the music/movie industries. I can't recall the last time I bought a physical music CD, but it was probably in a year that started with "1." Other auto manufacturers may be looking for ways to slow Tesla's momentum, but my guess is that in the end they're going to have to come up with something better if they don't want to be left on the side of the road.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
