I'm pretty sure you don't have to be super rich to own a model S or model X. I usually consider super rich to be owning a private jet kind of money. You can lease a model s for example for the monthly cost of a decent cloud server like an m4.10xlarge - sure it's expensive server, but we are not talking super rich expensive right?
Don't get focused on the "super" part. I think he's right, you must at least be "rich" to buy one of the current Tesla offerings. Rich in the sense that probabably less than 1/100 (most likely even much lower - maybe 1/1000) of the total population can afford a car in that price range. Especially if it's for private use and not a company car. I personally know 0 people that own a private 100k€ car.
