Eh...I own a Model 3 and I would not consider the Model 3 or Model Y (Which is essentially just a slightly larger Model 3 with a hatch) to be luxury cars. It's a nice car, for sure, but I wouldn't call it luxury.


It’s the price point. You can get BMWs for the same price and they’re definitely luxury cars.


The Model 3 is a $25,000 car with a $15,000 battery.


Underlying cost doesn't matter to markets when it's priced the same as luxury cars. It's the same customers with the same disposable income and different expectations than mid-range.
