It's consistent with the idea that mostly tech workers buy Teslas. It does not really sell to people outside this demographic.
Around me, I see lots of soccer moms driving them, and I wouldn't say I live in a particularly affluent area. I do, however, live near a nuclear plant (11th largest in the world, in fact) and have relatively cheap electricity.
Edit: fucking cry more, @Hypx
Those are often pretty wealthy people.
Til the middle class is considered "wealthy." Maybe I should be more concerned about people like you screaming that we should eat the rich, since clearly your idea of wealth is based on your own socioeconomic standing and not actual numbers. Just like your understanding of EVs, actually! Hmm, a pattern emerges!
@eltimablo @L4s @vacuumpizzas @Hypx
to most of the world, what we consider middle class, is extrodinarily wealthy beyond imagination
The top selling EV in what's considered a developing economy, China, is a Tesla Model Y. And whilst the USD carries some weight in other economies. Middle-class is middle-class in the US.
You sound like a right-wing troll at this point.
Interestingly, I think only one of the countless Tesla owners I know works in tech.
