Honestly, we're proud of you for not owning a car. You have enlightened the rest of us fools as to the advantages of commuting by bicycle.
Unfortunately, your grasp on economics is a bit weaker. If anybody could make a $10k electric car, it would already be on the market! As the rest of the world knows, Tesla's plan has always been to introduce their premium roadster, sell it to the rich, and use the proceeds to help fund a passenger sedan. As volumes increase, economies of scale will too, and they'll be able to make cheaper and cheaper cars.
Frankly, $50k is not that much for a modern car -- hell, I work almost next door to Tesla's factory, and there are very few cars on the roads around here that cost less than $50k new. They'll sell like gangbusters.
Maybe by 2030 they'll make that $10k electric car and you can buy one then.
