It's hard to square your anecdotal experience with Tesla's actual marketing data and strategy. If people "don't care in the slightest what the price of the car is", then I doubt Tesla would be headlining major announcements with the price, e.g. "$35,000 Tesla Model 3 Available Now" [0] (there's even an exclamation mark in the first sentence). Having people unnecessarily fixate on a price like $35K seems counterproductive for Tesla, given its desire to upsell features, and natural fluctuations due to changes in tariffs and subsidies.
