    So Tesla’s have quality issues I agree with, Elon is an asshole I also agree with. But not all Tesla’s are a Plaid. They start at $35k, the Y at 40k. They are most assuredly not luxury vehicles and I’m not sure why people keep thinking this.

      That’s a starter price, not a finisher price. (Apologies to IASIP.)

        That’s still not luxury in this market. I priced one myself ended up at 48k. That’s not luxury anymore in this market.

        But I digress. I’m not a Tesla lover or anything just saying they’re not luxury cars. I don’t even have an EV yet and don’t want a Tesla.

          It’s more than I’d pay, which also doesn’t make them luxury prices.

          However, until pretty recently they were much more expensive than they currently are which is why there’s a lagging perception of them being luxury.

          It certainly isn’t the quality.
