This is one of those things that you can't trust a customer to answer truthfully. You say you like it, but when Ford or similar does it, it's annoying. It's not that Tesla quality is good either. It's one of those things

Sure, eating flour mixed with water is cheaper than vegetables. But I don't think people do that. Instead people wrongly think fast food is cheaper than home cooked food. Not sure your point of "no money for good food" Source

I have talked to many people on this. I don't think you can teach the ignorant people facts. I wonder if you taught them philosophy, if all would fall into place.
