The allure of Tesla is that their DNA and proposed vision is all-electric performance without compromise. They've forgone the luxury market and gone all-in with performance. The 3, Y, and even X rely on the nostalgia of the Roadster and soon the S. Despite the fanfare of the S, Tesla hasn't been able to convince the average consumer with multiple cars to own multiple Teslas nor the PR firm that their other models deserve to be on the Top 10s, etc. I'm never going to bet against Tesla. I've seen my $500 TSLA purchase go up 15,000% to $75k in just a few years. That being said there's a lot more work to be done for Elon to get to the top and stay there.
- lazyjones 6y agoTesla isn't about performance, that's just a by-product of making EV suitable for everyday use. Teslas are about adequate range (400+ Km, 250+ miles), fast charging and a charging network that enables long-distance journeys, as well as getting as close to self-driving as possible. That's why 1 million or so people chose a Tesla over other EV and gasoline cars.
- edmundsauto 6y agoHow do you know the reasons why someone chose a Tesla?
- lazyjones 6y agoI own one myself and talk to other owners occasionally. People get chatty during those Supercharger breaks.
- edmundsauto 6y agoSorry if this sounds combative, but how can you extrapolate a couple of dozen casual conversations to a complex decision from over a million people?
