Tesla owners are overwhelmingly men, and the most common occupations are engineer, software engineer, and manager of operations, one study found.

I’ve been in my mate’s model S*, and lemme tell ya, 0-60 in three seconds is hilariously NOT “objectively not a high end car” lawl
Find me a Corolla that can do that
Edit: I was wrong, it’s the standard model, not the S! I forgot the midrange one, but it’s below an S. It still has two motors and launch… go fast, though!
I can find you a motorcycle that does it for $5k. High end != speed. Luxury and quality are factors.
motorcycle != car
Also the torque on the motorcycle would feel completely different. I’ve never felt acceleration like that, it was AWESOME.
Yes, it would feel different. The sense of speed on a motorcycle is much greater. I can tell that speed is such an important factor in the decision to buy a tesla because the importance of speed is made irrelevant when comparing a tesla to other vehicles that can go as fast or faster.
Teslas will lose popularity as other EVs and modes of transport catch it. The relatively cheap speed is the selling point. Because Tesla does little else well. The luxury and reliability is severely lacking.
I’m no Tesla fan but suggesting that the existence of motorcycles nullifies the speed differentiator is an asinine argument.
I’m not suggesting that. I am pointing out that speed is ignored when you compare a Tesla to another vehicle that is faster. I agree with that assessment, speed is not the only important factor in a vehicle. Tesla supporters spin this logic in the other direction and it is illogical.
Higher end S even does sub 2 second times
I can’t even imagine what that feels like.
As I said to someone else, speed doesn’t equal high end. Nor does a price tag. Fit and finish, and build quality and reliability do. Look at a real high end car and then look at a Tesla and tell me they are even in the same league.
That person was also me hahaha
I get where you’re coming from, but as a person who loves Corollas, a Tesla is in another world from sitting in one. It’s nothing like a fancy Bentley or whatever, but at its price point it feels fancy enough to be in and it demolishes everything else performance-wise. I wouldn’t say it’s not high-end, but everyone can have their own opinion.
