Read some interviews with him first, this was his plan all along. First build an electric sport car based on a different car - this was the roadster (based on lotus elise) to show a full electric car is doable, then build an expensive, but high-end car to make more money for further development and to bang the costs down - this is the tesla model s. Now they got the money to build the gigafactory - so they can produce shitload of batteries for a lower price -> and all is set for an affordable car.
