This is very much an excellent question and concern. I, too, am asking the same question for my parents for the same reason!! It took years for me to convince them to buy TSLA stock (boy do they regret not listening when it was $30/share now) and I had to walk them through opening a trading account and everything. My dad really liked the CT but is afraid of the BEV switch, so I want to surprise him with a reservation on his birthday in a couple months. That'll be just enough to convince him to buy one!
