I'm not going to directly contradict you as I don't have data to do it (and I didn't look up the data you claimed here) but I will point out that the average new 'car' in the US is an SUV with a price of around 50K. That is more than the price of a base level Model 3.
In other words they're not 'rich people cars' due to their price. A market penetration to a wealthier demographic must hinge on a different variable that correlates. Maybe interest in the environment, or technology, or geographical area, or something.
I'm starting to see Tesla taxis, so it's getting somewhere.
