I guess we're disagreeing on the definition of "mass market", which is ok. To stick to hard numbers, Tesla sells something like 10,000 cars per quarter (at an operating loss, even at $80k or whatever they are), and the Leaf sells about 4,000 (in the US; I don't know about their global). The Corolla, by comparison (which I consider to be the gold standard of fuel efficient cars), sells more than 80,000 per quarter, while the Cruze sells about 60,000. Sure they're selling, but they're niche at this point.
