It can grow all it wants, until you can recharge in 10 minutes or less and drive 300+ miles, and have MILLIONS of charging stations, its nothing but a commuter vehicle niche.
What happens when it’s below zero outside?

Well, FWIW, we’ve been driving back and forth between the SF Bay Area and Northern Nevada dealing with a new home we’ve bought in Nevada, and we see any number of Teslas on the road with us. They can now go 300 miles and the trip is just under 200. That’s not a “commute!” The real issue is where are they going to get the “juice” to charge them.

HJ, again GM is talking 80% in 10min w/ a charger they claim is near production ready, the innerwebs are saying the Ford CUV w/ Mustang DNA to be revealed for 2020 will have a 370 mile range ( US or Euro drive cycle? ). My point is, they are getting close to your criteria, the charging stations is the issue. BTW, If SanFranNan and Smuckey were not trying to screw our stable Genius, there is talk of a lot of money in the infrastructure plan to also make this happen. That is a lot of people being trained to do this IMHO a lotta blue collar jobs making some serious coin...
