BMW is saying that demand for its new i3 electric car is exceeding expectations -- and now it's considering a boost in production. In this segment of "Motor Money", analysts Rex Moore and John Rosevear discuss whether electric cars are finally getting some traction and what this development means for Tesla's (NASDAQ: TSLA  ) future plans.

Behind the scenes
An under-the-radar auto company has giants like Ford, GM, and Toyota clamoring for access to its revolutionary technology. Many forward-thinking car enthusiasts are plowing money into this little-known stock... because they know it holds a key to the explosive profit power of the coming "no choice fuel revolution." Luckily, there's still time for you to get on board if you act quickly. All the details are inside an exclusive report from The Motley Fool. Click here for the full story!

    OMG, this does nothing for Tesla...BMW does a compliance car and ...ugh. You know, the BMW active e and mini e were some great places to start, but this compliance fake EV, PHEV (they want to "upgrade" you to the "range extender" which is an all-out ICE engine, like the Volt, this is not an all-electric car from the ground up like the Tesla Model S. Period.).

    Truth is, if you buy this as an all-electric vehicle, there is an empty hole for an ICE engine in there.

    BMW, you have done us wrong...got with GM, ef'n going down, not up. WTF?

    sorry, but, I am pissed. I have been waiting 30+ years for electric (ALL-ELECTRIC FROM THE GROUND UP) cars to be MAINSTREAM...which should have happened by now. :P
