Tesla is the Apple equivalent for cars. Consumers see the Tesla brand as innovative and high quality regardless if it's true. Even if other manufacturers make a Tesla equivalent, that's like iPhone vs Android. It's a status thing for many, and for that alone I'd bet on the Tesla brand.

This seems like an availability bias. Are you saying that consumers don't regard Porsche, Audi, BMW, Lexus, Mercedes and Infiniti as innovative and high quality?
