>> In reality if it wasn't a Tesla it would have been an ICE car in a similar market segment such as a BMW 3 Series. I see this comparison proposed very often.

>> In reality if it wasn't a Tesla it would have been an ICE car in a similar market segment such as a BMW 3 Series. I see this comparison proposed very often. But I don't think it's fair -- a model 3 is expensive but it's not a luxury car in anything other than price. I think you can argue that an equally fair comparison is a Toyota Corolla or similar, which is in a very different total cost of ownership class.
