VW is pushing its e-golf to have 200km range
BMW is also adding range to its i3 and you should see EV Mini pretty soon. I believe the Leaf gets larger battery in 2016 already.

In Asia and Europe, the Renault Zoe is now 200km EV. MB has the EV B-class on the road already.

$35000 Model 3 should be pretty basic, mostly like the 60D basic. I assume most people ordering it is expecting to pay 40k+ as we all know Tesla options aren't really that cheap. For me, I am expecting to pay 45K+ for the dual motor model. Anything fancy like the glass roof or large rims or biochemical filter is only a luxury thing.

I heard Musk is building battery plants in China or somewhere in Europe, hope that will lower the building cost.
