This might be true. But, the Model 3 was being advertised as bring EV to the masses.
I feel I am one of the more [lucky] masses - and that is why I don't drive a Mercedes, Audi, BMW, Porsche etc. If the car was not advertised or promoted as being affordable - I would not have looked at it.
More importantly - what we or businesses say is important. Tesla claims to be different. Tesla is NOT Mercedes, Audi, BMW, Porsche.
If Tesla is NOT Mercedes, Audi, BMW, Porsche etc why behave like those guys or engage in practices similar to those guys ?

Most high end manufacturers I'm familiar with (Mercedes, Audi, BMW, Porsche) release the mid to higher version first. Then a year later, the performance version and lower cost version. They are all trying to maximize profits. That's the reason.
