What exactly is a "regular luxury car"? It sounds like an interesting designation for any article. If it's regular, is it still a luxury?

- joevandyk 14y agoBMW, Lexus, etc.
- knowaveragejoe 14y agoEquivalent models of which are priced about the same as the Model S variants.
- umsm 14y agoI would consider a mid-range lexus as a regular luxury car. There are extremes (anything over $120k: Bentley, Maybach, etc.) but those are out of the reach of the masses. My point is this: If a Tesla would be a petrol-powered vehicle, how much would it cost? Now find out WHY/WHERE there's a difference and look at that.
- DanBC 14y ago> WHY Isn't it as simple as "because they can"? A Patek Phillipe watch is lovely, but probably doesn't have $30,000 worth of materials and labour involved. The rest is just pricing for a luxury good.
- umsm 14y agoYou're paying for the brand, that's true, but not $25k of that is the brand. You have to consider the materials, manufacturing process of individual pieces, labor, marketing expenses, service, etc. Generally: Companies try to give you the best for the money.
- r00fus 14y agoI presume umsm meant ICE or non-electric luxury car. ie, ones that don't require any advanced battery tech.
