Luxury buyers want options and to feel they have the best. To not have a moonroof option or to not have interior color options Is a deal breaker for some. The charging speeds / not having the latest technology is also a deal breaker when comparing to 3. Right now the 3 has the best tech.
To me, it feels like Tesla is going for cost rather than luxury. Many current buyers won’t like that. It may be good for Tesla financials in short run but then long term success will depend on having the best autonomous software.
I have to also say that I’d be curious if someone tried a competing luxury vehicle for a month and came back to Tesla, would they still end up choosing a X or S. As others have pointed out, there are some real compromises with the power train, software, etc.
Eventually someone, maybe Tesla, will serve the luxury market. But I guess true luxury would be to sit in the back seat right?
I just had a really bad service experience, no valet (they stopped doing it) I had to wait 40 min for a enterprise rent a car, it was an S but smaller battery than my X and less options. I felt like I was in a Toyota dealership that didn’t smell like oil.
