Why make you own definition of the term ?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxury_vehicle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxury_vehicle > Model S is listed there, is that a coincidence?
The S and X are clearly in the luxury segment. Some people pay a very high premium for the pleasure to drive a quick electric luxury sedan. Which is completely unnecessary for their needs.
All the owners I know are clearly in the luxury segment (coming from luxury ICEs). What you find desirable isn't everyone's pleasure.
Maybe Tesla is just reinventing/killing the luxury segment, but that's another debate.
- rootusrootus 8y agoHa, just because Wikipedia says so doesn't make it true. People have been trying to call BMWs and such 'luxury cars' for a long time. BMW themselves wouldn't say that. They're premium cars. Luxury cars are things like Bentleys. What you're noticing is that everyone who can't afford a Bentley or Rolls-Royce would prefer to call their Audi a luxury car ;-).
- tsomctl 8y agoThis is a luxury vehicle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsMViWFPv_U&feature=youtu.be&t=130 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsMViWFPv_U&feature=youtu.be... Or this: https://youtu.be/yq9IvgfLFgk?t=360 https://youtu.be/yq9IvgfLFgk?t=360
- Retric 8y agoThose are Ultra-luxury/super luxury cars. The (Honda / Acura) or (Volkswagen / Audi) splits covers normal vs luxury brands by the same company. So a new luxury car segment starts around 35k even if you can pay more than that for a Honda Accord you still go to the Honda dealerships etc.
