Tesla is a luxury product. There are other electric and hybrid vehicles on the market that are more affordable. For example, Volt, Leaf, C-Max.

All of which are either gas users (implying electrical is still just a gimmick) or have typical ranges of less than 100 miles. The Teslas get 200+.

The other thing Tesla did which I think was long-term brilliant is started investment in independent recharge stations. If you have a Tesla and you’re driving in California you can get from LA to San Francisco in a “normal” driving day, not needing to either kick in the gas engine or stop for a few hours every hundred miles. Just stop for ten minutes or so at the recharge station and continue on your way.

Yes, it’s a rich person’s toy. But it’s the only full electric that’s directly competitive against gasoline engine cars, and so proves it’s doable.
