Different definitions of luxury and creature comforts. For folks that define luxury as plush interiors, wood every where, amazing interior storage space and dozens of sleek buttons -they should stick to the old world.
To me there is a new definition of luxury that is gaining ground : smooth amazing acceleration, comes with a free chauffeur that drives you around instead of you driving the car, always starting every day morning with 200+ miles and never having to go to a gas station.
That is my definition of luxury. How less stressed I am at the end of a long commute is far more important than those plush interiors.
Recently I drove from Houston to north of Dallas around 280 miles, and I was amazed at how fresh I was with Tesla AP driving me more than 80% of the way.
No amount of plush interiors and bells and whistles would come close to that level of luxury.
The benefits of EVs are hard to explain, but has to be realized by living with it for a month and then you are hooked. You will then laugh silently at those 'luxury ICE' drivers.
