Tesla isn’t a luxury brand.

EV batteries introduce a price premium but the Model 3 is targeting Hyundai buyers not BMW buyers. Just look at the Ionic 5 price point.



The industry disagrees with you

I don’t see Hyundais in Palo Alto. I see Teslas. Perhaps you consider valley middle class.


There’s strong disagreement around that the model S and X might qualify as luxury cars but are missing many common characteristics like the degree of sound isolation. Some people talk about pricing, but you can spend 6 figures on a ford 150 which isn’t a Luxury brand.
