  Maybe that's true for some people. I can only answer for myself. When we bought our Model Y back in mid 2021, I test drove basically all the competitors: iPace, Mach E, the Volvo XC something Recharge, etc. The MY had practically double the cargo space of any of those, with the same size footprint. It had more acceleration than any of the others (which doesn't really matter, but is fun) even in the long range version. And it was the only one that had a 7-seat config, which is extremely handy for occasionally transporting kids' friends. I actually didn't want to buy a Tesla because even then Elon was off-putting (though not nearly like now), but it was just clearly the best option available at the time. (Supercharging also played a role there.)
