I think people will probably read too much into it (note that it was the analyst who laughed first, and laughter is contagious). I think Musk is sincere when he says that it's a good thing and that he hopes BMW keeps improving. After all, his stated goal with Tesla is to catalyze the industry, so he wants other companies to also make good EVs (there are easier ways to make money than to start a new car company and try to convince people to buy electric cars...). That's why he also partners with companies like Toyota and Daimler.
I think BMW's main problem with the i3 is that they caught a case of 'conceptcaritis'. If they had made an EV, built from the ground up to be electric, but that looked a bit more like a BMW 1 series or 3 series, or even like it does now but with fewer funky touches, I think it would feel more mainstream and less like a concept car. After all, the Tesla Model S, despite all its innovations, wouldn't look out of place parked next to most other cars in its price range.

Sound Into Electrical Energy
The future, you could charge your cell phone just by chatting.
Researchers at South Korea’s Sungkyunkwan University have developed a new technology that converts soundwaves into electrical energy, The Telegraph reports. With the sound-harvesting tech, batteries could be charged by everything from the human voice and music to the sound of highway traffic.
Researcher Dr. Sang-Woo Kim said, “The sound that always exists in our everyday life and environments has been overlooked as a source. This motivated us to realise power generation by turning sound energy from speech, music or noise into electrical power.”

PHOTOVOLTAIC HOUSE BUILT IN JUST 11 DAYS.!!!!!
LIGHT HOUSE.....
This is a 75 square meter glass structure, and its roof is covered with photo voltaic panels, demonstrates that its possible to draw nearly all the power needed for heating a building-as well as charging an electric vehicle from the sun.The structure,built in just 11 days by a team of university students from Rhone apple,France,represent the top two floors of an imagined "nano tower" that would house several families and provided both private and common spaces.It beat out houses built by 17 other student team from around the world to win the solar decathlon Europe 2012 competition held in September..........
