Aren’t tesla and apple exactly that, peddlers of vanity and luxury items?
- mannerheim 4y agoTeslas are a bit too rich for my blood, but the MacBook M1 is a very good laptop for its price, and I'm sure M2 is worth its price too ($1000 and $1200 respectively).
- speedgoose 4y agoMost Tesla and Apple products aren’t in the luxury market. They have good value in their (high end) segments and many people can afford them and justify the cost. These days it’s doesn’t make sense to buy a worse and more expensive electric car or laptop unless you really don’t like Tesla or Apple.
- alephnerd 4y agoA entry level Tesla Model 3 is in the same ballpark as the quotes I am getting for a Toyota Camry or Honda Accord at dealerships right now in Northern California.
- mannerheim 4y agoIs that under $30k? I thought the Model 3 was at $43k or so.
- alephnerd 4y agoA base model Tesla Model 3 comes out to around $44k. When you add the tax refund, it can range from $37k to $40k. The Honda and Toyota Dealerships I've been going to are selling Model 3 equivalents (Accord and Camry) for around $35-40k (and this if for ICE/Gas versions - their hybrids are just as expensive as the Tesla if not more). When you factor in California gas prices and gas taxes, a premium/mid-level sedan evens out with a Tesla Model 3, hence why you see Teslas almost everywhere in California now.
